From the original plates and Mr. Fleet's impression. 12 Thin mark of punctuation is now called Pillaiyar-suli, i. e. 'the curve of Ganba,' and ounsidered by the Vaishnavas as a representation of the holy monosyllable Om. The same sign occurs in line 30 of this inscription, und in line 1 of the Cochin Jews' deed. 23 Read ipai-ppada ?
34 Read kada. » Read yogigalum unintu.
» Read sedam ? 37 Instead of the two vertical lines, the original has a sign which resembles the visarga of the word srih in line 1. Between the Pillaiyar.suli (see note 32) and the second mark of punctuation, it has representations of two Vaishnava symbole, the discus and the conch. These symbols are even now represented on the coins of the Dative states on the Western Court.
