INSCRIPTIONS OF THE KALACHURIS OF RATANPUR

1 Metre: Sragdharā.
2 The missing aksharas in the third pada can be restored with the help of the Ratanpur MS. As कीर्त्तिर्भुवो गगनमण्डलमाविहर्त्तु,but the following aksharas are uncertain. Metre: Vasantatilakā.
3 The Ratanpur MS. reads the following aksharas as सीमन्तचन्द्राम्बुद: which may be correct, but the
reading of the fourth pada cannot be restored.
4 Metre of verses 11-17 Śārdūlavikrīḍita.
5 The historically important name is missing in the Ratanpur MS. Which reads instead युधाश्वद्रिपुनृपान्.
6 The Ratanpur MS. reads श्यामा यस्य च कर्णिका खरतरा सूते यशो निर्मलम्. This may be adopted, but
कर्णिक, in the sense of an arrow in neuter. Perhaps श्यामा यस्य कृपाणिका is the correct reading,
7 Metre: Vasantatilakā.
8 Metre: Śārdūlavikrīḍita.
9 The aksharas in the brackets are supplied from the Ratanpur MS. They have left faint traces
on the slab.
