II. STONE INSCRIPTION OF YASOVARMAN, OF THE YEAR 1011. The stone which bears this inscription appears to have been discovered some time after A. D. 1843, amongst the ruins at the base of a temple, known as the temple of Lakshmanji, at Khajuraho; and it is now built into the wall inside the entrance porch of the temple at which it is said to have been found. The inscription has been drawn attention to several times in the volumes of the Archeological Survey of India, and an unfortunately very small photolithograph of it was published by Sir A. Cunningham, in Archeol. Survey of India, vol. XXI, plate xvii; but it has not been edited before.'
The inscription consists of 28 lines. The writing covers a space of about 5' 8" broad by 2 5" high. Down to line 16, and from line 22 to line 27, it is (with the
