The original of this
inscription is divided into two sections of nine lines each. At the
commencement of each line of the first section, a few syllables are lost, and
the first five lines of the same section are considerably damaged about the
middle. In the first line the date is lost. As, however, the preserved part of
the historical passage, with which the line opens, agrees literally with the
corresponding passage of No.4, the inscription cannot have been engraved before
the 29th year of the reign of Rajarajadeva. Like No. 4, this
