c12.18

‘A’ *ll. 5-6*: *mūvāṭṭin* . . . . . *aṇiyu bandukkal allāttūrai*: substituting the literal translation† of the phrase ‘*mūvāṭṭin ippaṟam*’ viz., “on this side of three years,” for ‘the last three years’ of Venkayya, we may accept his translation of this passage as correct. Indeed the text is easy Tamil and presents no difficulty.
