EPIGRAPHIA INDICA
[Vol. XXXIII
plates show that king Karna's second name was Mahasivag upta and presumably he was also called Yayati, it is doubtful if we can bring in these names to fill up the big gap created in the lost part of line 2 as a result of paramamāhesvana being read in the lost part of line 1.
After vio at the end of line 2, jayarājye ..sampa(samvatsarë, eto., orojaya-rājyo-samvalsamva) Esare...must have been engraved at the beginning of line 3, which is now lost. Owing to the fragmentary nature of the inscription, the year of king Karna's reign, that must have been mentioned here, cannot be determined.
