POSTSCRIPT. Another inscription of Jaya and of his sovereign Ganapati (No. 250 of 1897) is engraved on three sides of a pillar which is now built into the roof of the Lingodbhavsevimin temple at Tsandavolu, the capital of the chiefs of Velanaņdu. The second face of the pillar is turned towards the roof and is hence invisible. The first face opens with the same passage as the Chebrdlu inscription published above, and breaks off with the words विहरति फणिभत्त:साof verse 10. The third face bears five Sanskrit verges, the first of which is incomplete at the beginning, and a passage in Telugu prose. I subjoin the text' e the first sixteen lines of the third face.
