Translation by Sastri 1969

The temple of Rēvaśarmma, son of Rēcupaśarmma of Bhāradvāja gōtra.

Translation by Jens Thomas

Commentary

The Sanskrit grammar is not entirely correct (it should be prapē ṟēcupasarmmaputrasya). The inscription was on a slab near a shrine, and there is a certain chance that the term guḍi refers to the shrine and not to the temple itself.

Bibliography

The inscription was noted in A. R. No. 378 of 1904 and first published by J. Ramayya Pantulu with few metadata and without translation and picture (1948: page 334, № 608). K. M. Sastri re-edits that edition and provided a translation (1969: page 344, № 95).
