    Apparatus

    2 10 ÷ • It is unclear what the symbol "÷" represents in Venkatasubba Ayyar 1943. It seems to be an abbreviated form of the ordinal suffix -āvatu.

    Bibliography

    Edited in Venkatasubba Ayyar 1943 (SII 12, no. 32); text and summary in Mahalingam 1988 (IP n° 73); encoded here for DHARMA (ERC n° 809994) by Emmanuel Francis (2020). The available visual documentation (photos, 2011) does not enable to assess the edition by Venkatasubba Ayyar 1943, as the inscription is too heavily damaged.
