No. 19.-- NALLUR GRANT OF HARIHARA II.
BY V. VENKATTA, M.A. Three sets of impressions, prepared by the late Sir Walter Elliot, of the subjoined inscription were forwarded by Dr. Fleet to Dr. Hultzsch, who has kindly placed them at my disposal for publication. The impressions are four in number. The first and the fourth bear the Kanarese numerals 'one' and 'three respectively, and the second the numeral 'two.' Consequently, the original, which I am unable to trace, appears to consist of three copper-plates, of which the first and the third are engraved only on one side, and the second on both sides. At the top of each plate is a hole throngh which a ring that held the plates together, must have been passed.
The alphabet employed in the inscription is Nandinagari thronghont, with the exception of the last line, which is in Kanarese characters. The technical execution of the inscription is far from good. The distinction between long and short # is maintained only in the first ten lines, in which three cases of long occur, viz. mula (1.3), murti (1.8), and bhurriha (1. 10). Throughout the rest of the inscription, no attempt is made to distinguish the long from the short u. But, in order not to swell the footnotes unnecessarily, I have inserted the long in the text wherever the sense requires it, except in the case of proper names which are not generally
Compare karupd-varupdlayal, an ocean of compassion,' in Ind. Ant. VoL XIV. p. 816, line 28. * Metre : Gtti: Metro: Vasantatilak.
