[19] Substance of inscription:

[20] Remarks: As noted by von Hinüber 2012b, apropos of the Indian publications of the 1990s and 2000s, which wrongly ascribed this inscription to Takkellapadu, Guntur Tk. and Dt.

(which may be the site of a rediscovery), "[i]t seems to be completely forgotten that this important inscription was published with a good photo already in the Annual Report of

the Archaeological Survey of Indian in 1925/6 in an excellent state of preservation."
