EPIGRAPHIA INDICA
NALAJANAMPADU OLD-TELUGU INSCRIPTION
(1 Plate)
ALFRED MASTER, LONDON
I am indebted to the courtesy of the Director General of Archæology, Rao Bahadur K. N
Dikshit, for excellent squeezes of this inscription which is transcribed in modern Telugu characters
in Nellore Inscriptions, p. 676. A plate is given therein, but contains several obscurities. The
inscription is generally considered to be later than the Addanki Inscription of 844-5 A. C.4 but I
had reason to suspect that it was, on the contrary, much older.
The inscription is engraved on the two sides of a stone. The village in a field of which the
stone lies is situated about lat. 15º 05′ long. 79º 30′ in the heart of the Telugu-speaking area as
shown in the Linguistic Survey of India, Vol. IV, Map of Dravidian Languages. The stone has
a bull at the head. Above it is a liṅga on a pedestal, on the left of which is a water-pot and crescent moon and on the right a partly defaced mark, which may represent the triśūla. The characters are of the Western Chalukya type and resemble those of the Bādāmi Inscription5 of Vijayāditya
(696-733 A. C.). As regards orthography the following may be noted : a is occasionally written
for ā ; it is often impossible to distinguish d and ḍ.
