No. 27.-A SECOND PLATE OF BHASKARA RAVIVARMAN FOUND AT
TIRUNELLI. BY L. A. CAMMIADE, B.A., B.L., BAR.-AT-LAW, AND THE LATE T. A. Gopinatha RAO, M.A.
The copper-plate, the inscription on which is edited below, was discovered years ago by ube of us at Tirunelli, and from the impressions then taken we edit the record below.
The copper-plate measures 8f" by 21", is engraved on both sides, and contains a complete document. Very near the left margin of the plate is a ring-hole; bat, when the plate came to us for examination, there was no ring strong to it. The preservation of the inscription is good. The alphabet employed in the record is Vatteluttu of about the tenth or eleventh century A.D. A few Sanskrit words and letters which occur in the record are written in the Grantha characters, e.g. Svasti Sri occurring in l. 1, sapta in pañchamāsapta in l. 13, 54 iu Vasudeva in l. 15, Sri and shna in Srivaishpava in l. 19, and go-prahmanınā bvasti in l. 25. At the end of the inscription occurs om namo Nārdyandya namas written in the Nagari alphabet of the type employed in the Mahåbalipuram and the Conjeevaram inscriptions of
Meaning :" valiant when boets are wroth."
Either bivana or mapana is possible. * The ink-impression onds here. Elliot's copyist however found the following words on the stone : Banacase. pura .. Sari markkila ... sla-prasa .... 975neya ....
