INSCRIPTIONS OF THE PARAMARAS OF VAGADA
PĀNĀHEḌĀ STONE INSCRIPTION OF MANḌALIKA

__________________________________________________
[1] The last letter in this word, as in some others where the stone is exactly broken, is followed by a part of another letter which cannot be distinctly made out. It appears to be व but may also be च, or छ.
[2] The missing letters may be conjecturally supplied here as पूराः प्रसस्रुः, The name वाक्पतिराज appears to have been lost in v. 7.
[3] The second akshara of this word is engraved as न्व.
[4] The mātrā of the first akshara in this line shows an additional vertical, ending in a fine tail, by way of an ornamentation.
[5] Some other letters were originally engraved in place of both the bracketed letters.
[6] The name of Bhōja appears to have been lost here. Perhaps to read श्रीभोजदेव इति,, which also suits the metre.
[7] The figure of speech in this verse is Rūpaka, showing the co-existence of valour and learning. The त्रू in शत्रुणां that follows, is formed in a peculiar way.
[8] Read घ्रिः [9] A combination of the palatal and dental sibilants.
