## Edition

⟨1⟩ (svasti śrī) dānasiṟla mārama (dhā)nimaṅgiyāri pa(ḷli) ⟨2⟩ ceṟuvu

pañcamahāpātakunṟu

## Commentary

The editor states that the inscription is “[u]nintelligible” (1948, p.
332) but does not make clear how big the missing parts might be (confer
line 2). The number of missing characters follows the number of dots in
the edition.

## Bibliography

The inscription was noted in A. R. No. 396 of 1904 and first edited by
J. Ramayya Pantulu without translation and picture (1948, p. 332, №
603). K. M. Sastri re-edited this edition and provided a summary of the
content: “Refers to the endowment of a tank. A Cōḻamahādēvi is
mentioned” (Sastri 1969, p. 333).
