(See Jaina Satyaprakasa II, p. 508)-Further see Nahar Inscriptions nos. 322 and 1453. In the above inscription no. 2 Sanghapati Candrapala's father and grandfather's names given are Pūraṇamalla and Hola while they do not quite resemble those incorrect names of Chandu Sanghavi's father and grandfather as are given on the reverse of this farman.
