INSCRIPTIONS OF THE CHANDELLAS OF JEJAKABHUKTI
SĒMRĀ COPPER-PLATE GRANT OF PARAMARDIDĒVA

Third Plate

____________________
1 Here, as in some cases below, the subscript of this letter is either faintly visible or is altogether
missing. The emendations have all been made in view of this.
2 The lower portions of the last three letters were already lost in the time of C. As also noted by
him, the sign of anusvāra may be accidental and the first two aksharas may be Gāgē, Gāṅgē or Gāgū. On the original, which I subsequently scrutinized, the reading is distinctly Gāṅgū.
3 The bracketed letter is indistinct, and the traces show it to have been Śrī, as also suits the context.
4 The anusvāra is doubtful. It is clear on the plate, as I noted in my examination subsequently.
5 The aksharas in the brackets appear to be overwritten, as also noted by C.
6 The letter is perhaps to be read with a subscript r. It is not known whether iti is intended here.
7 The reading of the mātrā here is doubtful.
8 This akshara contains some redundant strokes in its formation.
9 The slanting stroke distinguishing this letter from pa is not formed.
10 The Sanskrit word is Yaśōdēva.
