AN INSCRIPTION OF THE DYNASTY OF VIJAYAPALA
__________________________
[1] Read  .
[2] The mātrā on the first of these letters was first formed as of medial long ī and later on corrected.
[3] Drop the daṇḍa and read the whole as  .
[4] Read  -
[5] Here too is an arrow-mark.
[6] Read  - in the sense of a family coming from Valabhi. The mātrā of kā that follows is
separated from the letter.
[7] Read  ; but it does not suit the metre.
[8] I am not certain about the reading of the akshara in the brackets and it is taken here as read by
Kirtane, which appears to be possible.
[9] The word sūnu used here probably denotes a grandson, as it also means in Sanskrit, because the
word suta is also used along with it.
[10] Read  ;, or rather utkīrṇaḥ, to avoid repetition. The signs of both, the anusvāra and the visarga, are inadvertently put together. The whole line reads like a verse, though metrically defective.
