INSCRIPTIONS OF THE PARAMARAS OF MALWA
NAGPUR MUSEUM STONE INSCRIPTION OF NARAVRMAN

_________________________________________________________
[1] The second akshara of this word has totally disappeared and the restoration is conjectural. On the stone
it is clear though faint. In the previous verse the reference is to Pārāśara-smṛiti (Calcutta edn.). p. 626.
according to which, a warrior killed in a battle goes to Sūrya-lōka. The reference is due to Kielhorn.
[2] Both these letters are damaged and the reading is doubtful.
[3] First मां appears to have been engraved and later on corrected, by scratching off the anusvāra and
scoring off the mātrā by two horizontal strokes.
[4] The consonant of this akshara appears as m. This verse describes Lakshmadēva’s victorious march in
all the four directions.
[5] The east is supposed to be Indra’s direction. There is a play on the word पुरन्दर, meaning (i) Indra
and (ii) puraṁ ( to the town) and दर, ‘dread’.
[6] As Kielhorn has already noted, विहस्तीकृतैः means ‘bewildered’ and also ‘deprived of their trunks’.
[7] By a redundant chisel stroke व् appears as च् here.
[8] The bracketed letters are not clear in the impression.
[9] A redundant anusvāra appears on स, which is due to a fault of the stone.
[10] Some other letter with the medial short i was originally engraved in place of the first letter of this word,
probably धि, as Kielhorn observed.
