Professor R. G. Bhandarkar had, by a very similar process of reasoning, independently arrived at the same result. His remarks will be found in a paper on a Western Chalukya copper-plate grant, published by him at Jour. Bo. Br. R. As. Soc., Vol. XIV., p. 16.

This second ra is superfluous.
10 This letter, ya, was at first omitted, and then inserted above the line.
11 The original has chitte in the line, and vṛitta inserted below it, for ttavri, which is the proper order of the omitted syllables.
12 The Visarga was commenced here, but was a mistake. The lower part of it is covered by the m; the upper part remains uncancelled.
13 It is doubtful whether the first syllable is ka or ke; the second is distinctly ta. In all probability the Kalachurie are referred to; and Katachchuri' may be a mistake of the engraver for Kalachchuri,' or it may be a varying form of the name. In some other instances I have found Kalachuri' spelt Kalachchuri,' and also 'Kachchuri,' for metrical reasons, which would apply here; but in prose passages it is always Kalachuri, or Kalachurya'.
