saṁ lara Sarkar ( 2 219 17) proposed to read saṁ lumaḥ, but his translation itself reveals that this is not persuasive. Perhaps one could supply more, to obtain both here and in 1v10–11 saṁ lumaḥ ri garuṁ. But note Wangwang Bahen lines 2–3 śrī mahārāja vagisvara saṅ lumah ri kayu ramya. kliṅ āryya vev-bya Stutterheim's reading, with its unexplained hyphen, does not yield a sense. Since not a single epigraphic context is known where a list of kilalān contains the item paṇḍikira without this being separated from the word kilalān by the precise words kliṅ āryya siṅhala, I feel convinced that Stutterheim's ve must have been a misreading for the k component of the akṣara kli whose remainder was lost with the severing of a fragment from the plate, while his v-bya must have been a misreading of ryya. bras· gula kasumba I suspect that the elipsis in Stutterheim's reading is a mistake, and that the original read bras· gula kasumba without any lacuna. masuṁhara masuhara ṇḍan suṁharanya ṇḍan suharanya masuṁhara masuhara surat praṣasti praṣa Sarkar's restitution is supported by an occurrences of surat praśasti in the Kasugihan inscription, line 1v1. śrī mahārāja ri garuṁ As suggested above, in my note on 1rv, one could think of restoring śrī mahārāja saṁ lumaḥ ri garuṁ.

Hail ! The śaka year expired, 849, the month of Vaiśākha, first day of the bright half of the month,...

day, (while) the lunar mansion Bharaṇī (stood under) the deity (Yama) (during) the conjunction (of Siddha). At that time, the illustrious great king Pu Vagīśvara who was cremated (?)

communicated his favour unto the rakryān mapatiḥ for receipt of the samgat-s of Amrāti, .........

...tiruan, vadihati, makudur, confirming that the free-hold at Paləbuhan may not be touched by...

......may not be trod upon by pakriṁ, paḍam, tuha dagaṁ, vatək i jro, mamr̥ṣi, piniṅle, kataṅgaran, ...

(mapaḍa)hi, maṅiduṁ, valyan, uṇḍahagi, paṇḍay mas, paṇḍay vsi, all sorts of'people who collect royal taxes

the deity (of) L̥buḥ is the sole authority over this. More over, all of the ‘collectors of royal taxes’.........

.........Ceylonese, Paṇḍikira-people, mambang-s, the people of R̥mən, hunjaman-s, kutak-s, (foreign ?) merchants with pikul-freights may not.........

create troubles for the deity of PaL̥buhan by handling and disturbing this (free-hold), even so its good and bad events

in the free-hold (such as) the fruit without the areca blossom, death and so forth. The deity (of) L̥buḥ is the sole authority over these all.........

.........merchandise (and) all sorts of trades which may be allowed to the ‘master’ in (each free-hold).........

20 (buffaloes), 40 cows, 80 goats, three cages of eggs, 3 transports, what is packed up.........(Even if)

their commodities are pikuled, to begin with (those of the dealers of) clothes, dealers of copper-works and those who come within the city-walls to hawk with cotton, paḍat, sesame oil, unbolstered rice, sugar,

safflower and so forth, (then), of all the pikuled articles, the sixth bantal comes to each ‘master’ (free of charges)........

iron-smith, copper-smith may have (only) three bellows per free hold ; macadar, 4 paramva-s. If for tirvan.........

.........3 vessels without taking (any other boat) in tow, with 8 su(ṅ)hara-s ; if for angin-angin, vadihati, makudur, then there may be 1 vessel.........

(without taking any other boat) in tow, with 3 su(ṅ)hara-s ; the patiḥ-s of Vasaḥ, Kuci (and) MaL̥buḥ may have for śrāddha (funeral) ceremonies 1 vessel with 3 su(ṅ)hara-s without taking (any other boat) in tow.........

these may not be interfered with by the ‘collectors of royal taxes', all miśra-s (and) paramiśra-s; on the other hand, people should take care of the edict.........

If there is more than this defined limit, (then) from this, each surplus may be touched by the ‘collectors of royal taxes.........'

.........black paints, wood-work, purple-red paints, lac, spinning (?), red paints (?), the ensnaring of birds, the making of pots

and so forth. If any body violates these (regulations), saṁ AL̥buḥ shall have (a voice of) authority over them. Such is the command of the illustrious great king......

of Garung. May kings take care (of this edict), the consequences (hereof) being that the sacred free-hold may not again become the subject of discussion in the remotest future !

Cf. the Garung inscription, line 2: tatkāla rakarayān i garuṁ tumurun ājñānira.

Cf. the Guntur inscription, lines 1v4–5: sugyan tamān paṅujara ya muvaḥ dlāhaniṁ dlāha ya donikeṁ jayapātra./
