Bibliography
The inscription was noted in A. R. No. 536 of 1906 and first published by J. Ramayya Pantulu in 1948, p. 342, № 637 with few metadata and without translation. N. Lakshminarayan Rao (1948, p. lviii) improved the reading by consulting the respective impression. K. M. Sastri, while relying on J. Ramayya Pantulu’s edition, gives a short summary: “The inscription refers to a Triṇētra with the usual praśasti of the Vaidumba kings and the eldest son of his commander Śrī Vīramahārāju. l. 5 states that the ruler of Ēḻupakālu fought and fell.” (Sastri 1969, p. 342)

Commentary
The text follows the re-reading of N. Lakshminarayan Rao in 1948, p. lviii of the edition of J. Ramayya Pantulu in 1948, p. 342, № 637. N. Lakshminarayan Rao consulted the impression for his re-reading (1948, p. xxxv) but did not provide a picture of it. The dots used in the edition to indicate lost or unintelligible characters can not clearly be attributed to a certain quantity of characters (one dot may indicate one or more lost or unintelligible characters).
