JBORS. Vol. XIV (1928), pp. 282-84 (S. N. Rajaguru); EI, XXI, No 5, p. 23-25 (G. Ramdas=GR), IO.II.1, 1-3. (S.N.Rajaguru=SR); Bh. No. 2036.

These are three copper-plates which were discovered by a cultivator of Koroøaídà, a village six miles to the south of Parlakimiäi in the Ganjàm district of the Madras Presidency, while he was ploughing his field. The inscription incised on them has been edited by Mr. Satyanarayana Rajaguru in the Journal of the Bihar and Orissa Research Society (Vol. XIV, pp. 282 ff.), but without any facsimile. Owing to certain defects in the reading, re-editing of this record is necessary and I am thankful to the Government Epigraphist for India for giving me an opportunity of doing it in this journal.
Each plate is 7 1/2" long and 2" broad and has a ring-hole about 3/5" in diameter on its left side. I found neither a ring nor a seal attached to them. The first and the third plates are inscribed only on their inner side but the second plate bears writing on both sides.(G.R.)
