Edition

1śrī dāmōdharēśvaraṁbu

Translation by Jens Thomas

(This is the shrine of) Śrī Dāmōdhara

Commentary

The ending -aṁbu makes clear that the inscription does not represent a proper noun. The context, On top of a niche containing a lingaRamayya Pantulu 1948, page 18: , shows that it probably is the name of that niche.
