Translation

Memorial pillar of Sivadāsa of the Nārada gotra, son of the (...) masters, who died (lit. went to the heavens, svargagata) in battle, (on the occasion of) a cattle raid.

Bibliography

First edited by Srinivasan 1965–1966 and then by Parabrahma Sastry 1977, p. 1 (1). Although no reference is made to any previous edition, Parabrahma Sastry’s 1977 publication almost certainly concerns the same inscription as that published by Srinivasan. It is re-edited here from published documentation.
