EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
Vask vana, a resident of Simhapalli in the Hariyana country. This Ibanabiva, persuaded of the vanity of worldly affairs, founded the temple of Siva at which this inscription must be supposed to have been put up originally, and endowed it with (the revenues of) a place called Bhadanaulikå (lines 16-21). This portion of the inscription closeg with a verse (line 21) which appears to intimate that the minister Rulha, mentioned above, was succeeded in his office by Lakshmidhara and Jagatpala, who were as devout workshippers of Siva as their predecessor.
Of the places and districts, which, besides Vodamayuta, are mentioned in the inscription, Anahila pataka is the well-known Anhilwada in Western India, and Hariyaņa the modern Hariâna, described in the Imperial Gazetteer as a tract of country in the Hissar District of the Panjab. The places Simhapalli (1. 16), Bhadanaulika, and Ahadegadha (1. 21) I am unable to identify.
