INSCRIPTIONS OF THE YAJVAPALAS OF NARWAR
_____________________________
[1] A faint trace above shows that the sign of mātrā may have been cut above this akshara.
[2] The correct form of the name seems to be Jaitravarman, for which see n. elsewhere on the corresponding
portion.
[3] Elsewhere this name appears as Dējaï. The daṇḍa is superfluous.
[4] For the sense and also for the name that follows, see n. in the preceding inscription.
[5] It is possible that this akshara is vā.
6 All these letters are indistinct in the impression. Sircar read them as  but I am
not certain about the reading.
7 That is. Rāüta.
[8] Read  .
[9] The name also indicates that the person died in the struggle.
[10] This expression is again obscure and we may accept Sircar’s interpretation of it that the person in
question died in an area belonging to a person named Sabhamma.
[11] From an impression which is No. 212 of A. R. Ep., 1954-55. Appx. B.
[12] Denoted by symbol.
[13] Sircar read this akshara as rt, but what he took the sign of rēpha appears to be a fault of the writing
which is very careless ; and besides this,
a number of the aksharas are damaged and indistinct as the
stone appears to have been for long exposed to rains.
[14] Read . The foot is metrically defective.
[15] The reading of the bracketed akshara is not certain. Should we read  (?). The name that
follows is not known.
[16] The consonant of this akshara appears as sh.
[17] This appears to be the same as Kruddha, but the preceding word, the reading of which is doubtful,
is unintelligible, as also remarked by Sircar.
Can it be the same as appearing in No. 162, l. 3 (?).
[18] The name consists of five aksharas but the reading is doubtful.
[19] The reading is not certain and the language too is defective. But as rightly held by Sircar, the
passage refers to the heroes of the enemy’s side who were killed by him.
[20] This statement indicates that he won the battle, and if so, the victory favoured the Yajvapāla king.
