1 The difference in the forms of some letters on this plate from those of the previous lines may suggest that this plate was engraved by a different person. There are numerous errors in the writing on this plate.
? The dandas are unnecessary.
It seems that the reading intended was adi kari.... paryantëkë sima. Thus some further indications to garding this boundary appear to have been inadvertently omitted. In adha, dh looks liko dhdh which is the form of dk in the Kalinga script. As to kshi (échi), it may be pointed out that ksh is often written for chi in Oriya inscriptions.
• Possibly sima-samakrünta was intended as in other places. . Read sändhivigrahikasya. The dandas are superfluous. • Possibly the reading intended is ek-aineah or éka våff.
The metre of this verse and the following four verses is Anush lubh. • Read danach=chkréyo. . Read ko fara-väsinud.
