No. 898 of the Madras Epigraphical collection for 1904. The characters are quite similar to those of the Alupa inscriptions of Udiyavara (above, Vol. IX, pp. 15-24), which Prof. Hultzsch assigns to about A. D. 800. it deserves to be noted that the record is written from the bottom upwards like the Amaravati pillar inscription of Simbhavarman (above, Vol. IX, p. 43 and Plate) and one of the sides of the Besväda pillar inscription of Yuddhamalla (Madras Epigraphical Report for 1910, p. 82).
