EPIGRAPHIA INDICA
facts, however, that we have two other charters of Vilāsatuṅga Dēvānanda (II) and that no record
of any of his ancestors has yet come to light make the case of this king more likely.

______________________________________
[1] From the impressions preserved in the Office of the Government Epigraphist for India, Ootacamund.
[2] Expressed by the symbol usually interpreted as Ōṁ.
[3] Although defective, the whole passage seems to have been originally used as an epithet of Jayapurāt, Jayapura being the capital of the king.
[4] This likewise seems to be an incomplete epithet of Jayapurāt although the remaining aksharas of the
epithet as well as the name of the city have been omitted.
[5] The daṇḍa is superfluous.
[6] Read sambaddhu.
[7] The ya at the end of the name may be superfluous.
[8] Read bhavishyad-yathākālaº.
[9] Read bhāvinō.
[10] Read rājānaka.
[11] Read sāmantān.
[12] The daṇḍas are superfluous.
[13] The daṇḍas are superfluous. From this place the engraver abruptly begins a verse in the Śārdūlavikrīḍita
metre ; but he has omitted some syllables, while some have been carelessly substituted by other aksharas. It
should be noticed that the description of the king and his ancestors should properly have preceded that of the
grant partially quoted in lines 3-7.
[14] The following seven syllables appear to have been the ending part of the first verse of the original.
[15] The daṇḍas probably indicate the end of the first verse. Only the first eleven syllables of the following
verse appear to be true to the original
[16] The daṇḍas probably indicate the end of a charaṇa of the verse are superfluous.
[17] It is tempting to suggest the emendation sphīta-mādyat ; but that does not suit the beginning of a
Śārdūlavikrīḍita foot.
[18] The following ten syllables appear to be true to the original.
[19] The daṇḍas are probably unnecessary.
[20] Here the verse seems to end.
[21] Owing to a portion of the plate being cut off, only the upper part of about fourteen aksharas are noticed
after this.
