(L. 7.) the grandson of the glorious Mahârâja Skandavarman (II.),

(L. 9.) the son of the glorious Yuvamahârâja Vishṇugôpa,

^[3] Read –vallabha-, as in l. 18 of the Mâṅgaḷûr grant.
^[4] Here follows a symbol which I cannot make out. Perhaps it is a flourish which serves to till up the vacant space at the end of the line.
