There is a flaw in the stone to the right of the third letter which gives a false impression of there being a letter. It is produced by a higher level of the surface. The last two letters were completely missed by me on the stone in the darkness; but they have come out in the impression. I give a photograph of the whole stone to show its shape. The stone is painted white by the villagers and a few letters in white paint are written above the inscribed portion. It is now called Maṅgalanātha (Śiva). - [Previous: c19.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c19.4) - [Next: c19.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c19.6) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c19.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c19.5) · Pramāṇa
