South Indian Inscriptions |
INCRIPTIONS OF THE KALACHURIS OF TRIPURI which has the same form as ch, seems to be distinguished from it in some places by a dot in its triangle. As the first member of a conjunct, the letter appears generally above the line, but in Karnnadēvasya in line 5 it is written on the line as in the Deopārā stone inscription.1 The ligature nn has two different forms in Karnna and dān-a(ā)rnnava, both in line 5. The language is Sanskrit and the inscription is in prose throughout. The only orthographical peculiarity it presents is the doubling of a consonant after r. The inscription is one of the Kalachuri king Karna2 who is styled here Mahārāja and the King of Chēdi. It is not dated. The object of it is evidently to record the dedication, by the king Karna, of the image of a goddess whose name has not been specified. 1 Loc. cit., p. 305.
