1 The intended reading is Kalinga-nagardt. The Narasapatam plates have sa devah | before this. * Read brimad-Vajrao. * The danda is superfluous.
There are traces of eight letters after this. [The entire passage from Veryd to iti was incised after having erased what had been previously engraved. The name of the donee's father in lines 45-46 is written as Drädördua Il na, although the subscript r in the first akshara and the a-matra in the second appear to be traces of the original engraving. The actual name may have been Dade-Révana. In cherikala (for chirakala) in line 46, the i-matra of ri similarly belongs to the original writing. Traces of the eight aksharas after the end of the re-engraved record in line 47 read tábhyan Põlaya-Kalayao which is followed on the reverse of the plate (in lines 48-49 of the original record, which were erased) by bhyath udaka-purvvämpúruvan) tamra-basanam kritvi pradatlam=asmabhirthavibhir bhūmipalai..... This shows that the grant of the village of Santaram (possibly not Santarama) bad originally been made in favour of Kotaya and Potaya but that later it was transferred to Pallays and the sentence mentioning him as the donee was reengraved after having erased the original writing. The word tabhyam at the beginning of this sentence shows that the previous sentence, on which isya.....iti was later incised, contained description of Potaya and Kētaya, the original donees of the charter. Pallaya pleased the king by his valour (paurusha) and the latter gave him the village after having honoured him for a considerable time (chirakalams dräddhya). For sva-paurusha-paritoshitaya read paritoshakayu or "paritoshayitri, Cf. above, vol. XXIII, p. 73, text, line 53.-Ed.]
