<p><!--

Thaplyal is certain that the seal is Avantivarman's, and argues (#Thaplyal_1975-76:182-184) convincingly for his case. Since it furnishes no particular information about Avantivarman, I prefer to keep his name out of the title of the inscription.

Thaplyal continues the restoration up to Avantivarman as reigning king.

Note that where all other Maukhari seals I've seen have °anya-rājā in l1, here the o mātrā is clear, though the rest of rājo is not.
