 * Image of the Rachenahalli lake.jpg
 * In this inscription there is a mention of the god Bheteraya, and it can be said that there was a temple of Beteraya in this area. Perhaps the name Beteraya is the basis for the nearby Beterayanapura.
 * There is a reference to Chokkanahalli village in this inscription. So even the nearby Chokkanahalli has a history of around 500 years. *The name of Chokkanahalli village was earlier interpreted differently. This is briefly discussed in the section entitled “Special aspects found by re-reading by 3D scanning”.
 * Calling yelahanka as Nadu, Mahanadu, the mention of yelahanka state is found for the first time in this inscription.
 * In this inscription, besides many agricultural taxes, house tax/house revenue and customs,Special mention is made of Suvarnadaya (tax in the form of cash). This helps to know many taxes that were prevalent in those times.

By Rereading through 3D scanning features were found by Mythic Society

 * 1) Earlier only 15 lines of inscription Recorded 10 new lines recorded by our 3D scanning. In this reference to taxes and incomplete name of the person who donated was found is special. Earlier, Kempadevarasa Gowda was called as the donor”,  but in this, Kempadevarasa wrote to be Dharma for Anna, clearly the name of the person who donated is different.
 * 2) Chokkanahalli, which appears earlier in the inscription, is wrongly mentioned as Chokkanathpura, which is said to be present-day Dommalur. But Chokkanahalli village is three km from Dasarahalli. Seen far away. So this village is statutory, It can be said that it is Chokkanahalli and not Dommalur.
 * 3) The phrase clearly identified in this inscription as Parucheya to the temple of Lord Bhenteyaraya was wrongly read in the previous reading. In lines 13-14 of this inscription Rice reads "Parucheyadevara bh... to the temple of Yirayana", the Yalahanka lords.
 * 4) This in Statute Book, Statute No.-13 It reads "Kempadevarasagoudaru. To the temple of Bairavan". But through our 3D digital scanning we got the lesson "To Parucheya Deva Bhenterayana Temple" where the words Kempadevarasagoudaru Bairavana are not found.
 * 5) This inscription mentions a person named Kempadevarasaanna. This person's name has been misread before. This inscription was originally recorded by BL Rice as reading "Kempadevarasa...lege". But M. Jamuna and others have written the fragmented/eroded part of the letters after Kempadevarasa in lines 8-9 of the Dasarhalli inscription as Kempadevarasagouda.
 * 6) Here the fragmentary/eroded letters of the letters after Kempadevarasa (left blank by Rice) read as Gauda, ​​stating that this is an inscription of Yalahankanada lord Kempegowda. But in our 3D scanning it is clearly identified as Kempadevarasaanna. So, as Kempegowda is not mentioned in this inscription, it cannot be said that it is the original inscription of Kempegowda.
 * 7) Inscription No. 13 of the Yalahanka Nadaprabhus is used as a source document in many texts and is said to be the earliest inscription mentioning Kempegowda. Therefore, there is a need to review and study the articles and books written based on this inscription.
