North Indian Inscriptions

INSCRIPTIONS OF THE PARAMARAS OF VAGADA

[1] The first akshara of the name is mutilated and the third is overwritten, and thus the reading of both these is not certain.
[2] Originally सू with the mātrā perhaps erased later on.
[3] The visarga is not dropped here.
[4] This akshara may have been त्व.
[5] A number of the aksharas of this verses cannot be made out but the general sense is to compare this person with Vishṇu by using such expressions as may be applicable to both. The reading may be शार्‍ङ्गपाणे-
[6] What appears as the sign of anusvāra above this letter is either a redundant stroke or an abrasion.
[7] Originally त later on changed.
[8] Reading uncertain.

[9] Here the inscription shows traces of three and not four aksharas as required by the metre.
[10] Both these letters. which are mutilated beyond recognition. may have been नरै:.
[11] A word denoting temple may have been employed here, but perhaps prāsāda was written, In his notice of the inscription in the Report of the Western Circle, 1908-09. p. 49, D.R. Bhandarkar took the first two aksharas of this stich as ārā, instead of [Sanskrit] as we read, and took the name as Ārāthūṇaka, connecting it with Ārthūṇaka, i.e., Arthūṇā. But to me the reading seems to be as taken here.
[12] The sign of visarga is lightly scratched off and that of anusvāra is put here The word means the sky.
[13] The reading of these three aksharas off and that of anusvāra is put here. The word means the sky. on the proper right side of the stone, with an arrow-mark where it is to be supplied.
[14] The twelfth akshara of the fourth foot of this verse is not long as metrically required. The lacuna may be supplied with तांगम
[15] Probably सुसन्धाना may have been intended here.
[16] This akshara is mutilated and the preceding one is altogether indistinct.
