The text follows the edition of J. Ramayya Pantulu (341-342636) in absence of a picture. The single editorial change was made on grounds of the occurence of the usual collocation. In regard to the date given in lines 6-7 J. Ramayya Pantulu notes that After the figure 8 in line 6 there is a curved line. It is presumed to be an accidental stroke not intended to represent any figure.342. The spelling °paṭṭabhadduṇḍ in line 8 is a misspelling for °paṭṭabaddhuṇḍ lit. 'he whose frontlet is bound' -> 'inaugurated into rulership'. This collocation also appears in the Talagunda inscription as paṭṭabandha° (32) and as loan translation into Telugu (paṭṭam-gaṭṭu and similar spellings).

The inscription was noted in A. R. No. 325 of 1905 and first published by J. Ramayya Pantulu in 341-342636 with few metadata and without translation. On the basis of this edition K. M. Sastri re-edited the text together with a translation (322-32349).
