ABSTRACT OF CONTENTS.
From the victorious camp (vásaka) at the city of Kalinganagara (line 1), -he who has had the stains of the Kali age removed by doing obeisance to the two water-lilies which are the feet of the divine (god) Gokarnasvamin (1. 3), established on the pure summit of the mountain Mahendra (1.2), who is the father of all things animate and inanimate, and the sole architect

The first figure, 2, is engraved over a 4 which was out here, out of its proper place, and was then beaten in
