Bibliography

The inscription was noted in A. R. No. 391 of 1904 and first published by J. Ramayya Pantulu with few metadata and without picture and tranlsation (1948: pages 13–14, № 29). K. M. Sastri re-edited that edition and provided a summary: The inscription states that during the reign of Prithivīvallabha Mahārājādhirāja Paramēśvara paramabhaṭāra, Sri Nityavaruṣa, the queen of Vallavarāja, (together with?) the three-hundred persons, and the five-hundred persons made a grant to the hundred-and-eight persons of Viripaṟu. ll. 12-21. Contains a list of names of persons who seem to have collectively made a gift. ll. 22-25. Imprecation1969, page 326, № 52.
