No. 12.-NAMMURU GRANT OF AMMARAJA II.
BY PROFESSOR E. HULTZSCH, PH.D.; HALLE (SAALE).
Ink-impressions of this inscription were sent to me by Rao Sahib H. Krishna Sastri, who had received the original plates from Mr. G. V. Appa Rao, B.A., of Vizianagram,
Ag Mr. Krishna Sastri informed me, these are three copper-plates with ring and seal. The plates measure roughly 4 by 94" The ring is in thickness, and the circular seal 24 in diameter. The first and third plates beer writing only on their inner side, and the second plate on both sides. The four inscribed sides have their ring raised for the protection of the writing. The seal bears, in relief on a countersunk surface, a boar, acrescent, and an elephantRoad in a line, below them the legend fri-Tribhuvanāinkuba, and below this a floral devios." The bottom of the seal is fixed into an elongated lotus flower with eight petals.
The writing on the plates is in a state of nearly perfect preservation. The alphabet resembles that of other inscriptions of Amma II. The jihvāmuliya occurs once (line 29), and the upadhmaniya five timos (11.6,20 [twice]), 23 [twice]); it is identical in shapo with the
