## Commentary

The width of the gap follows the number of dots in the edition.

## Bibliography

The inscription was noted in A. R. No. 391 of 1904 and first published
by J. Ramayya Pantulu with few metadata and without picture and
tranlsation (1948, pp. 13–14, № 29). K. M. Sastri re-edited that edition
and provided a summary: “The inscription states that during the reign of
Prithivīvallabha Mahārājādhirāja Paramēśvara paramabhaṭāra, Sri
Nityavaruṣa, the queen of Vallavarāja, (together with?) the
three-hundred persons, and the five-hundred persons made a grant to the
hundred-and-eight persons of Viripaṟu. ll. 12-21. Contains a list of
names of persons who seem to have collectively made a gift. ll. 22-25.
Imprecation” (1969, p. 326, № 52).
