1 This is the right side of the pillar. There is the figure of a Siva-linga above the writing.
* The desoription of the boundaries in the east, south and west of the plot of land in question has broken away at the ond of the third side of the pillar.
* This seems to be the name of a village in four letters, the second and third of which are lost rospootively at the end of lino 2 and the beginning of line 3. The word may possibly also be eakala.
. The same beneficiaries appear to be mentioned in lines 18-20 on the third side of the pillar.
The deity is called Narasimhadeva in line 27.
