11 Dr. Hultzach has read this name as 'Kolára.' He quotes Sir Walter Elliot as giving the name as 'Kalera.' It is given as 'Kaler' in the Index to the Telugu Sasanams; but, in the transcription of the text in the same book, it is given as Kåveru. There are some unnecessary marks in the first syllable; but on the whole it seems to be ko, or possibly ke; and not kd. On this point, however, I should like to see the original plate again. The second syllable is rather spoilt, through the r of the third syllable having been at first commenoed here; and the vowel is of decidedly anomalous form; but the intended akshara seems to be certainly le. - From this word, down to just before the second smd in line 109, the writing has been deliberately damaged, and at some places rendered quite illegible, by paring down the copper; and here and there some letters have been inserted between the lines, as if to add to the confusion.
+ otro, 81óka (Anushtubh); and in the following two versos.
