INSCRIPTIONS OF THE CHANDELLAS OF JEJAKABHUKTI
__________________________
1 This and the preceding akshara which were originally omitted were subsequently written in a smaller
form below the line.
2 Above mā, there appears to have been the sign of anusvāra, which was engraved at first and second
off later on.
3 This akshara is engraved as shṭha.
4 What is intended here is Śrīvāstavya which would not suit the metre.
5 The use of this word is not befitting here. Recast as  .
6 Srivastava read : but I agree with Prinsep in my reading. The matra on va is faintly
visible and the last of these aksharas, thought misformed, looks more like ndraḥ than ndhuḥ. The
reading also suits the metre.
7 This letter has left only traces and it was read by Srivastava as shu, following Prinsep, but shāṁ may
also be equally possible.
8 The daṇḍas are redundant and the visarga on ya is doubtful. Read . In the latter half
of this verse the correction is made in view of the metre but grammatically it is wrong.
9 Perhaps  is intended.
