## Edition

⟨1⟩ śrī bhāradvājagōtrasya (prapē)ṟē⟨2⟩cupasa(r)mmasya putra(ḥ)
rēvaśa(r)mmasya guḍi

## Translation by Sastri 1969

The temple of Rēvaśarmma, son of Rēcupaśarmma of Bhāradvāja gōtra.

## Commentary

The Sanskrit grammar is not entirely correct (it should be
prapēṟēcupasarmmaputrasya). The inscription was on a slab near a shrine,
and there is a certain chance that the term guḍi refers to the shrine
and not to the temple itself.

## Bibliography

The inscription was noted in A. R. No. 378 of 1904 and first published
by J. Ramayya Pantulu with few metadata and without translation and
picture (1948, p. 334, № 608). K. M. Sastri re-edits that edition and
provided a translation (1969, p. 344, № 95).
