Another inscription of Jaya and of his sovereign Ganapati (No. 250 of 1897) is engraved on three sides of a pillar which is now built into the roof of the Lingodbhavsevimin temple at Tsandavolu, the capital of the chiefs of Velanaņdu. The second face of the pillar is turned towards the roof and is hence invisible. The first face opens with the same passage as the Chebrdlu inscription published above, and breaks off with the words विहरति फणिभत्त:साof verse 10. The third face bears five Sanskrit verges, the first of which is incomplete at the beginning, and a passage in Telugu prose. I subjoin the text' e the first sixteen lines of the third face. 1 भाषत जायसैन्यनाथं । कलयसि म2 यि शंकर च भति सदथमतस्त्वम8 मूनि पालये[ति ॥ कुलोत्तुंगरा* जेंद्रगोंकक्षिती[शप्रतिष्ठापितं शं. 6 करं खानुजाख्यं । [स पंडीवर .जाय6 सेनाधिनाथस्तदार[भ्य] तैस्वैपाय7 [क]पास्ते ॥ चौरैचिरेण चलितेस्य पुरा8 णपीठे पीठांतरं स चतुरं विधिव 9 विधाय । प्रासादमप्यमलकांच. - 10 नकुंभसंपत्संभावनीयमकरी 11 दनुकम्मशिल्पैः । सर्बोपचारसिध्यय 1 See above, Vol. III. p. 296, note 9, and Vol. IV. p. 128. * See above, Vol. IV. p. 99 f. and Additions and Corrections, P. v.
