The plate in question has been the subject of great controversy. The facsimiles of the plate have appeared in Epigraphica Indica, vol. iv, and in Indian Antiquary, vol. liii. Translations of the plate with comments have been published by Dr. Gundert (Madras Journal of Literature and Science, vol. xiii, part i, pp. 115–125), Kookel Kelu Nair (ibid., vol. xxi, pp. 35–8), Venkayya (Epigraphica Indica, vol. iv, pp. 290–7), and Mr. K. N. Daniel (Indian Antiquary, vol. liii, pp. 185–196, 219–229, 244–251, and 257–261).
