1 Mr. Mazumdar read this as "k-ave(va)ni-nātha.
This epithet is evidently a corruption or alteration of kambara-paraghoshana which occurs among the same string of birudas held by a Telugu-Choda chief (No. 468 of 1923 of the Mad. Ep. Coll.)
'Road samvatsarambulu.
Mr. Mazumdar's reading is
291
Mr. Mazumdar read this title as [Va]ūra(dha)pura-var-adhibvara.
Whether this is to be restored as pundarikaksha or pundarikakarsha is doubtful. The latter seems to be more appropriate.
This is the Telugu honorific plural for bhüpatch.
This is Telugu for devasya.
svaradeva-chūdā-vard-lhamāna-ji(vi)jaya-rā[jya]-samvatsaraṁ vūrna(?)
kachivarkamundam 33 bri(di)-Maghe
The u sign may actually be a kakapada to indicate that the letter ma was inadvertently omitted.
10 An anusvåra was incised and deleted above sya.
11 Mr. Mazumdar read this as Aträndēlā.
13 Mr. Mazumdar's reading is Medhak-akhya-dvě.
13 This word evidently stands for aputraka, i.e., escheat for failure of heirs. Cf. nidhi-nikshép-aputrakadhana-dand-öpajataka-sametah in lines 21-22 of the Kumarisimha plates. Mr. Ramadas wrongly reads "jataka of the above passage as ataka and offers a fanciful interpretation of the word. The expression dand-öpajataka literally 'what is derived from punishment') no doubt means 'money exacted from offenders as fines."
