nrar̥pater nr̥pater nānādānamakhotsavas nānādānamalotsavas With note indicating that one would have to read mahotsavas; being based on a wrong reading, we may forget this proposal. -kulāvdhima kulāgdhima Read -kulāgama or -kulāvdhimada? tapasmī tapasvī The intended meaning is no doubt tapasvī, but the stone clearly reads tapasmī. 972 279 The fact that Schweyer misrepresents the order of the numbers also in her edition of C. 156 in the same article suggests this is no accident. nan·vvana nanvvan The word navvan occurs several times in the corpus.

There was a prince, heir apparent, great general, who was nephew of his majesty Parameśvaravarmadeva. And he, solely focused on dharma, was busy carrying out meritorious donations ...

Inspection of the stone shows that no sign is missing at the beginning of this lign, but that an irregularity of the stone explains the shift of the margin.
