_______________________________________________________________

^[1] From two inked estampages prepared in 1901.
^[2] The â of syâ has an indenture at the top, which makes it look like the ô-sign attached to lô of trailôkya in the same line.
^[3] The whole of this line is engraved so close to the projecting top section of the slab as to make the letters on the estampage look faint and broken ; but every syllable can be made out from the back of the impression.
^[4] The syllable ṇê, here and in the sequel, is written in a peculiar way. The u-sign is first affixed to ṇ and the ê-curl then attached to the former.
^[5] The ṛi of mṛi is represented by u and ṛi.
^[6] The five syllables Jinâya namaḥ are reversed and written from right to left.
^[7] Here and in what follows the enclosure of superfluous vertical strokes in round brackets does not, as elsewhere, represent a correction, but indicates that they have to be omitted.
^[8] The e of re is formed in the same way as in ṇê, note 4 above.
^[9] The syllables ttâru are corrected from ttanâlku, the subscript t, a portion of n and the subscript k being still visible. A similar biruda, held by certain Chôḷa chiefs of the Anantapur district, has aruvattunâlkuº, perhaps correctly ; see below, p. 135, note 8.
