INSCRIPTIONS OF THE PARAMARAS OF MALWA
TEXT
[1]
Fragment No. 1
_____________________
From the original and an impression.
[2] Metre : Sragdharā.
[3] It is not known if this akshara was तो, for a vertical after it, if engraved at all, is lost. At first, तुंमधुता was engraved and later on, the sign of anusvāra was erased, retaining the mark, and the consonant of the last was changed to न्.
[4] Metre in this and in the following three lines: Śārdūlavikrīḍita.
[5] Because of a redundant stroke this letter appears as स्व.
[6] Read उद्धतं or समुद्धतं. Probably नौकौजसां = ‘of the gods’ is intended. Va changed to vā, metris causa. The first letter in paśchimē was originally cut as pā and later on the sign of the mātrā was scored off as redundant.
[7] Metre in this and the following line: Sragdharā. Read थः. The word Paramāra is changed to Pramāra, for metre.
[8] These aksharas are partly visible but they cannot be made out. The last two in this line are restored conjecturally.
[9] Metre in this and the following two lines: Śārdūlavikrīḍita. The reading of the bracketed letter that follows is certain but it gives no sense.
[10] The unit figure of the number is lost. Also note the invented origin of the word Kāyastha.
[11] The bracketed letter is erased (?). The phrase gives no sense.
[12] Metre in 11. 11-13 : Sragdharā.
[13] The sign of anusvāra is erased and the consonant of the third letter is changed to t. Should we read
ततिरतुलाः, which also suits the metre (?)
[14] Metre in this and the next two lines : Śārdūlavikrīḍita. v [15] This is apprently a local deity. The name appears to be connected with Vajraṭa occurring in No. 24. v. 11. But also see n. on this name, in the edition of the inscription, above, on p. 196.
[16] Metre : Anushṭubh. The lacunae at the end of this line may be filled in by reading समप्रभः.
[17] Metre in this line and in the beginning of the next : Śārdūlavikrīḍita. The reading of the first four aksharas in this line, which are indistinct, is not certain.
[18] Metre : Sragdharā. This is evidently the description of Bhōja,
[19] Metre in this and the next two lines: Śārdūlavikrīḍita.
