TRANSLATION Ll. 1-16. Hail! The illustrious Mahārājādhiraja Parameśvara Paramabhaffāraka king Amma, alias Gandaraganda Rājamahendra, surnamed Vishnuvardhana, a devout worshipper of Mahēšvara, the refuge of the whole world, whose right hand is companioned by a glittering sword resembling a ray of the rising sun for (dispelling) the darkness (in the form) of the
1 This sign of anusrāra has been separated from the final letter of the foregoing line, namely tu, to which it belongs. This unusual manner of separating the sign of anusrára is noticed in some other Chālukya renard as well ; see Ind. Ant., Vol. VII, p. 187, text II. 29-30, and remarks on p. 186; above, Vol. XXIV, p. 78, n. 3.
? This name recurs below in l. 24 in a slightly altered form inasmuch as the final vowel there is long.
[Cf. Karpațivrata' mentioned in the copper-plate grant of Amma II, Madras Epigraphical heriori, 1917, p. 116, para. 24.-C. R. K.]
The form samprita is to be derived from the root pri ( to please' or 'to be pleased') but the use of this verb is restricted to the Vedic language, as is indicated by Bhattojidikshita in his Siddhanta kaumudi : prināly=adayas =trayas=chhändasă ity==āhuh. In the present instance, therefore, we had better read samprilaih instead of sampritain.
.This anusvāra is redundant ; read-pariharam=Umikili.. • Here sandhi has not been observed. * Read Ayyapo. $ There is a superfluous dot over this på.
• Metro: Anush/ubh. ! For an explanation of this term see above, p. 44, n. 6.
11 Metro: Irya. The latter half of the verse is slightly irregular, being short of one syllabic instant towards the end. The yntax as well as the metre requires a rending like-Mahakāla idam--a karát.
