1 A dash and adot above ane superfluoualy added to the left-hand vertical stroke of the pa. That they may have stood for an upadhmaniya is highly improbable. Besides, the right-hand vertical stroke of the pa 'is ab. normally long.
1 The danda is unnecessary.
This syllable seems to be redundant. Mr. N. L. Rao reada Bukudravakond in which case there will be no superfluous syllable.
• The formation of this syllable is hardly recognizable.
Tho roading fais tonable, only if the dash and the two dots above it are regarded superfluous. •The reading is very uncertain. Moreover, in case of the suggested reading, the form of j would be Nägarl.
Read probably dasanena. • The corresponding phrase in the Tekkali Plates is chandr-aditya-paryantan.
Perhaps we have to read this syllable as put and correct it into pú, but the vowel sign bere is quite different from that in the pu of the purva-, 1. 25.
10 There is a curve below the ch, but it can hardly represent the required chh after the ch. 11 Read perhaps prabhashyatt. The visargs after this word must originally have been intended to be a dumt. 11 The syllablo rå here resembles the ka as seen in -aika., 1. 5. '11 The right-hand portion of the ya looks separated from it and affixed to the next lotter. 14 There is a sign after phalam, perhaps meant to be the required double dandu. 15 Metre Anushtub.
