Hail! While Vavahārāju (on behalf) of the illustrious Manuja Triṇētra Vaidumba mahārāja, whose breast is embraced by the Goddess of victory obtained in several conflicts of battles, was ruling the earth, Kurureḷaṟemma attacked Vāṇarāju in the battle-field and went to Heaven.
The text follows the re-reading of N. Lakshminarayan Rao in 1948: page lviii of the edition of J. Ramayya Pantulu in 1948: page 343, № 642. N. Lakshminarayan Rao consulted the impression for his re-reading (1948: page xxxv) but did not provide a picture of it. 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).
The inscription was noted in A. R. No. 328 of 1922 and first published by J. Ramayya Pantulu in 1948: page 343, № 642 with few metadata and without translation. N. Lakshminarayan Rao (1948: page lviii) improved the reading by consulting the respective impression. K. M. Sastry 1969: page 344 provides a translation while relying on J. Ramayya Pantulu’s edition.
