Mahаraтhi Tranakayiro.
______________________________
The Mahаraтhi (feudal baron) Tranakayira.

ASWI note
___________
The first letter of the name is not certain. It may be also read as va or bha. I cannot give a transliteration of the whole into Sanskrit, but think that the syllables ayiro correspond to Sankrit аrya. Regarding the meaning of the title Mahаraтhi, see Kаrle, inscription No. 2.
