c28.s2.t12.6

1. These two letters are cut across by chisel marks which do not appear to be part of the inscription. They have probably been tampered with, when the adjacent inscription in modern Tamil characters was engraved.
2. I had earlier read this letter as *ḷa*.
3. I had earlier missed this letter.
4. Cf. LT *nākaṉ*. The use of *ṇ* for *n* is due to the influence of Pkt. Cf. *vaccaṇanti* (No. **115**).
5. Reading according to TVM; verified *in situ* at the time of checking the inscription.
