## 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.
