In the counterpart this word is written Keshari.
Varmarku in the counterpart. • Yantiru in the counterpart.
Utie in the counterpart. • The order in which these two villages are named here is reversed in the counterpart: the first place is given in each to the village to which each grant belongs.
The counterpart has the Tamil tri instead of the Grantha ti which is used here.
Onruyinmaiyil in the counterpart. • There are some other minor differences between the two copies, such as an interchange of the two Tamil ns, and the use or omission of Sandhi; and therefore I con clude that the two endorsements were not engraved by the same person.
