This occurs in verse, and is not a formal title.
• In the published edition lalódharman and l'ishnuvardhana are taken to be the names of two princes; see Ind. Ant. Vol. XIX. p. 227.
• See below, No. 329.
. For another, fragmentary inscription wbieb is on the same stone, see Ind. Ant. Vol. V. p. 182, aud Plate.
• The probability is that in the original inscription the era of the Malava kinge is referred to.
The British Museum possesses a fragmentary sad partly effaced inscription which apparently was engrarud by the same Sivanaga.
