## Edition

⟨1⟩ vāmaḥ ⟨2⟩ parā¿bh?⟨p⟩araḥ

## Apparatus

⟨2⟩ parābharaḥ • Read parāparaḥ (see the Kāñchī inscriptions) or
parāvaraḥ (No. 16). The softening of a single consonant between two
vowels in parābhara, pridhivi (No. 2) and ubhāya (No. 5) is evidently
due to the influence of the Tamil vernacular on the pronunciation of
Sanskrit words.

## Translation by Hultzsch 1890

Vāma (the handsome). Parāpara (the omnipotent).

## Commentary

[[See]] Madras Survey Map, No. 43. Carr’s Seven Pagodas, p. 37, Plate
xvii, p. 224.

## Bibliography
