Pp. 364-385. King Kharavela flourished before the beginning of Christian era-caves on the Udayagiri and Khandagiri hills near Bhuvaneswar in Orissa still stand forth as pious dedications from Khāravela and his royal family and servants for rendering shelters to resident Jain saints and recluses-Hathi-Gumpha inscription informs his history, activities, and achievements-epigraph of 17 linescontains a sketch of the autobiography of Kharavela :
(1) Kharavela's army-the traditional four divisions of an Indian Army.
(2) Kharavela's Administrative Policy and Method-traditional method of his forefathers-Fxcavation of the caves for the Jain Saints and recluses on the Kumāri Hill.
(3) Kharavela's Religion & Religious Policy.
