Commentary
The text follows the edition of J. Ramayya Pantulu (1948, pp. 341–342, № 636) in absence of a picture. The single editorial change was made on grounds of the occurence of the usual collocation. In regard to the date given in lines 6-7 J. Ramayya Pantulu notes that “After the figure 8 in line 6 there is a curved line. It is presumed to be an accidental stroke not intended to represent any figure.” (Ramayya Pantulu 1948, p. 342). The spelling °paṭṭabhadduṇḍ in line 8 is a misspelling for °paṭṭabaddhuṇḍ lit. ’he whose frontlet is bound’ -> ’inaugurated into rulership’. This collocation also appears in the Talagunda inscription as paṭṭabandha° (Kielhorn 1905–1906, p. 32) and as loan translation into Telugu (paṭṭam-gaṭṭu and similar spellings).
