It seems that the story in the Sanskrit verses is a curious medley of a certain result of the misreading of Kharavela's inscription and a certain legend in the Puranas. We are, no doubt, at one with Mr. Jayaswal to think that these verses are important as confirming the correctness of the reading of the first word of Khāravela's inscription, after the invocation formula, as Airena instead of Verena or Kharena.
