EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
[Vol. IX.
Nor can I say anything definite at present regarding the conquest of the Late kingdom by the elder brother of Parabala's grandfather Jéjja. The known names of chiefs connected with Lata from about the middle of the 8th century and the available dates will be found above, Vol. VIII. App. II. p. 4. It will be seen there that we have no date, and know little about L&ta, between A.D. 757 and A.D. 812, which is just the period in which, judging from the date of the present inscription, we should have to place Jâjja and his elder brother.
In the text which follows I have indicated by marks of interrogation all passages about which I am myself doubtful, and have left blanks where I could have put in only a purely conjectural reading. Others may be able to supply what is wanting or to find the correct rendings where I have failed to do so. I know that I have shunned no trouble and may perhaps be permitted to say
