EPIGRAPHIA INDICA
BONANGI COPPER-PLATE GRANT ; SAKA 1508
The sign-manual consists of two parts : the first looks like the Telugu syllable Vṛī ; it cannot
be taken to be the initial letter of the name of the donor ; nor can it be understood to be Śrī1 for
the main letter in the centre has no form of s. The second one is the sign of a weapon, one end of
which has a trident and the other a lance ; the handle in the middle is shown in a spiral. This may
be the crest of the donor himself. Regarding this kind of sign-manual generally found in the
charters issued by the Oriya rulers and chiefs, I propose to write more elaborately when writing
on the charters of the rulers of Nandapur.

_____________________________
[1] cf. Śrī in ll. 1, 2 and 5.
[2] The consonant after anusvāra is doubled.
[3] Read yistuva.
[4] Some blank space is left in the beginning of this line ; perhaps this line is to be understood to read in continuation of the first line Śrī Umāmahēśvara, both together meaning ‘ dedicated to the god Umāmahēśvara.
[5] The second ya is redundant. [Perhaps the intended reading is pāraṁparyyaṁ.─Ed.]
