---------------------------------------------

{1} From personal information of the original and impressions, as stated above.
{2} Denoted by a symbol.
{3} What appears above dha is not a mātrā but only a fault of the stone.
{4} On the impressions this akṣara appears as sya, but on the original stone I found this akṣara scored off
	by a horizontal stroke and a sign of visarga inserted subsequently, after the preceding letter.
{5} These two letters appear as abraded and the first of them may doubtfully be read as hā or jā, and the
	second as ta. The reading of the first akṣara in the expression is also doubtful.
{6} The sign of mātrā attached to this akṣara is slightly above, touching almost the lower extremity of the 
	letter just above it.
{7} The first akṣara in this line was probably engraved as ṇḍa, with its subscript lost later on, as known
	from the traces left. The expression Brahmāṇḍa svāmin denotes the Sun, for which, cf. Jagat svāmin in
	No.92, 1.12. The name Svāmideva was also read by me in an inscription on another pillar in the
	same shrine in my visit to it in 1972. The record consists of 16 lines, 62.5 cms. high by 13 cms. broad,
	and is dated Caitra śudi Rathasaptamī, (V.), mentioning the donation by one śobhaya to the diety. It 
	is unedited.
{8} Read devagṛhasya jīrṇṇoddhāraḥ kṛta iti.
{9} The reading of the bracketed akṣara is doubtful
{10} Read kṛta iti. Between the daṇḍas is an ornamental design resembling an arrow.
