No. 33. PENUKAPARU GRANT OF JAYASIMHA II. BY E. HULTZSCH, PH.D.; HALLE (SAALE).
Ink-impressions of the plates which bear the subjoined inscription's were kindly sent to me by Rao Bahadur H. Krishna Sastri. The plates belong to Mr. K. Nagesvara Rao, editor of the Andhra-Patrika, Madras. These are "three copper-plates, each measuring 24" by 7", and strung on a ring of the same metal. The first and third plates are inscribed only on their inner face. The ring is 24" in diameter and is fixed in a circular seal measuring 14" in diameter. The seal bears, in relief on a countersunk surface, the legend Sri-Sarvvasiddhi in Chalukya characters. Above this legend are the figures of a crescent and two stars, and below it a full-blown lotus-flower. The three plates, with ring and seal, weigh 45 tolas."
The writing on the plates is on the whole in a state of good preservation. But some lines near the edges of the plates are damaged by corrosion, especially the two bottom lines of plate
Read perhaps su-kapayē.
This might be the name of some tree.
Cf. above, Vol. III, p. 20, note 6. Read -vama..
Read-samvatsara-.
10 Read perhaps -bala-traye, as suggested in my introductory remarks, and cf. -fata-dvaye, Ind. Ant., Vol. XVIII, p. 145, text line 27.
11 Read rahasyena and of. above, Vol. III, p. 21, note 1.
13 Read perhaps mallina Khandi-bri-samanta occurs in Ind. Ant., Vol. XVIII, p. 145. text line 26 f.
18 See Ep. Rep. for 1924, App. A. No. 4 and p. 98, para. 8.
14 Accordingly, Sarvasiddhi must have been a surname of the donor, Jayasimha II, just as it is known to have been one of Jayasimha If; see above, Vol. XVIII, p. 55, notes 3 and 4.
