Indian Palaeography c12.s7.11

c12.s7.11

In the Jaugad S.E. there are three *svastikas* with curved arms and three *ma*’s engraved in the margin, one of the latter having a possible dot in the centre of its circle. It could be read as *maṁ*, and taken to stand for *maṅgala*, meaning auspicious. In the Rajula Mandagiri M.R.I. trisceles occurs. As these symbols are definitely auspicious marks, the attribution of alphabetic meaning to one of them seems far fetched.
