EPIGRAPHIA INDICA

account both Siddhavaṭṭam and Pushpagiri were called southern gateways of Śrīśaila and considered holy. Our inscription states that the temple of Vaidyanāthā at Pushpagiri was situated on the west bank of the confluence of five rivers. But today at this spot there flows only one river, viz., the Pennār.

^[1] From impressions. The figures of the sun, seated bull and the crescent moon are engraved at the top.
^[2] The engraver seems to have at first written hare by mistake the letters taṭa which he erased and wrote the letters da and pa over the erasure.
^[3] Some letters at the end of line 11 and at the beginning of line 12 appear to have been written even an erasure.
^[4] Originally ne seems to have been written and later corrected into sa.
