From the original stone. There is a transcription of this record in Sir Walter Elliot's Carndtaka-Dáha Isoriptions, Vol. 1. p. 26.
* Represented here, at the end of line 2, and at the beginning of line 3, by an ornate symbol; elsewhere, by plain symbol.- At the end of line 2, in the photograph, the symbol has been spoilt, in mistakenly trying to make the estampage clearer for reproduction. • Metro: śloka (Anushțubb); and in the next verse.
• Rend jagaty. This akshara, ra, was at first onnitted, and then was inserted above the line. • Read dkdnga-Śddraka. 7 Metre: Mabásragdbard.
. Read anivaran. • Metre : Champakainál. 30 In nadaprene kumarakan the metre is faulty; there is one short syllable too many 11 Metre: Mattébbavikridita.
