69. Chеzerla stone inscription of the time of Mahеndravikramamahаrаja and Pрthivиyuvarаjaх

This highly damaged inscription consisting of 94 lines is engraved on two sides of a stone slab set up behind the Nandi-maнdapa in front of the central shrine in the Kapоtещvara temple at Chеzerla, Narasaraopet Taluk, Guntur District, A.P. The inscribed portion occupies an area about 62" by 15" on the first face and 45" by 15.5" on the second. The following transcript is based on the photographs supplied by the Chief Epigraphist, on the personal examination of the record in situ and on the transcript published in SII, VI, Nos 594-95. This record is also partly published in EHAC, pp. 198-99 and JAHRS, XI, p. 50. (SN).
