Bibliography

First described and edited by Krishna Sastry 1983, pp. 145, 226 and in No name N.d., pp. 1975–76 (1986): 8. Virtually the same reading has been published also in No name N.d., pp. 1975–76 (1986): 8. A very similar reading is provided in Hanumantha Rao et al. 1998, p. 115 (no. 4). The inscription is re-edited here from available documentation and after autopsy of the stone.
