1 From ink-impressions prepared by Mr. K. V. Subrahmanya Ayyar, BA., M.R.A.S. * Read irao.
Read Kuulakekhara. • The usual form will be Karkofakattil Vigalan ninra; the double locative is uncommon.
The correct accusative will be Tiruckunrappolaiyaiyum. • Nalppadin is the Malayalam form of arpadin (1. 32). Read affipo.
Panni would be more appropriate.
Pati-uputta would be inore grammatical or pati-ugutliyår, a finite verb, may have been used, as the secter.ce following mentions a separate item of fact. Pati-uutti though a finite verb in modern Malayalam cculo not have been in vogue at the time of the present record, as declensional endings have been used in aruliyar, kordår and koduttar.
10 Before wa, letter has been entered and emused.
