We, however, do not follow Hultzsch 1902–1903 in considering that we have here iyāṇṭu, that is yāṇṭu with epenthesis. Although this is possible, it seems unlikely considering other attestations of the dative variant ki for ku. See, e.g., tfaPallava252, line 2, where the following word begins with p.

Rice 1905’s original reading, according to his transliteration’s scheme, is daḍiyaṅga[2*], which represents, I surmise, daṭiyaṅka[2*].

Translation by Hultzsch 1902–1903

In the twenty-fourth year [of the reign] of king Vijaya-Narasiṁhavikramavarman, Cēḻikar, the servant of Skanda-Bāṇādhirāja, fell, having seized [back] the cattle that had been seized by Daḍiya, Bāṇarāja and Mahendravikrama. Let the Kaṉṉāḍakas ((i.e. the Kanarese people)) look after this [stone]! [Those who] injure it [shall incur the five great sins].

Commentary

Hultzsch: "bears the representation of a warrior riding on a horse at full gallop".

Hultzsch: "reign of the (Gaṅga-Pallava) king Vijaya-Narasiṁhavikramavarman".

Hultzsch: "The infinitive kâṇga is used in a similar manner in l. 105 of the Kaśākuḍi plates; SII 2, p. 351."

Reference to parallel(s) for the formula "[Those who] injure it [shall incur the five great sins]"?
