Commentary
The text follows the edition of J. Ramayya Pantulu in 1948, p. 343, № 640 in absence of a picture. 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). In line 6 J. Ramayya Pantulu’s edition reads ḻōjkaḷāku which is corrected to ḻōṅkaḷāku by Lakshminarayan Rao (1948, p. lviii). The form ḻōjkaḷāku in the edition is clearly a misprint.
