EPIGRAPHIA INDICA
No. 2.-SRAVANA-BELGOLA EPITAPH OF PRABHACHANDRA. This inscription was first brought to notice in 1874, by the text and translation published by Mr. Rice in the Indian Antiquary, Vol. III. p. 153. The translation has also been given by him in his Mysore Inscription, p. 302, published in 1879. And the text and translation have finally been revised and reproduced by him, with lithographs, as No. 1 in his Inscriptions at Śravaṇa-Beḷgoḷa, published in 1889.[6] From ink-impressions received from Dr. Hultzsch in 1892, I published some remarks on Mr. Rice’s treatment of the record, and on its real meaning, in a paper entitled “ Bhadrabâhu, Chandragupta, and Śravaṇa-Beḷgoḷa,” in the Indian Antiquary, Vol. XXI. p. 156 ff. And I now edit it in full, with a lithograph, from some better ink-impressions more recently sent by him.[7]
