THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY
one-fortieth of a dramma on a horned animal, one tulas from a latal and one ddhakal from & ha!!a. 12
On the eleventh day of the bright fortnight of a month, one ghatika-pala13 (of milk) from every iron saucepan (of confectioners), one pêtaka14 from the gamblers, one pala15 of oil from every oil mill, one rûpaka from the randhani18 at the end of a month, and one chatuḥear (four-stringed garland) from the flower-sellers every day. V. 14 informs us that the temple was begun by the clever artist Agrata on the 5th day of the bright half of Kartika, 1008 (8th October 951 4. D.), while the next verse says that the image of Hari (Visnu) in his incarnation as Varaha (boar) was set up in it on the 7th day of the bright half of Vaisakha of the Vikrama era 1010, corresponding to 23rd April 953 A.D. V. 16 states that such was the arrangement made by the illustrious king Allata, and mentions the names of two scribes (Kayasthas), viz., Pala and Vellake. The last verse (v. 17) adds a few more names to those of the gosthikas already mentioned in vv. 2-8.
[ SEPTEMBER, 1920
The above inscription shows the prosperous condition of Ahâḍa during the reign of Allata, since it was visited by merchants from distant parts of the country.
