NOTE. From this extract it is made plain that pafchavära is one of the internal taxes or fees (antarāya) accruing from lands such as pu-ppon, vēlikkāšu and nirvilai, which incomes, we know from other inscriptions, were due to the king from lands. The fees forming the antarüya are, in this inscription, differentiated from another kind of fees named kudisai.
