REYURU GRANT OF PALLAVA NARASIMHAVARMAN; YEAR 12
98
Vijaya-Nandivikramavarman, which was also the home of more than one donee of the record. The same place seems to have been alluded to as Krõvagri in the Sätaluru plates of Gunaga Vijayaditya, after about a century and a half. One of the donees in this charter, who belonged to this place, was Nārāyaṇaśarman of the Rāthitara gotra. It would appear from this that this place was the resort of learned Brāhmaṇas for generations. It may possibly be identified with Krósūru in the Sattenapalle taluk of the Guntur District.

* The consonant t inay be read as rla also. This word should be read either as Srimata or brimatam, preferably the former. In the former case it qualifies Bhagarata and in the latter Palladnan.
.Read Bhagavata. The abbreviated invocation jitan Bhagavata is met with in the Uruvupalli and other rocords. . Sandhi is not observed here.
. This letter is peculiar and looks like li. The engraver seems to have incised the wrong form of the intended akshara icha.
In the Uruvupalli and Pikira grants the expression reads Lökapalanan panchamasya Loka palasya, whereas it is Lokapälänam panchamasya only in the Vilavatti grant. The expressions Madhyamalokapala and Lokaprila nam parichama obviously refer to god Varupa.
10 The reading intended is perhaps mahim-opama.. 11 For clarity of sense it is better to separate this compound expression. 11 This anusvára is placed wrongly on the akshara ja. 11 The word is satra in the Uruvupalli grant. 14 Sandhi is not properly observed here.
15 This and the following two expressions may also be taken as qualifying Bappa-bhaffäraku, in which case we need not separate them.
