EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
Of the reign of the prince Haribrahmadeva we possess another carelessly written) inscription of the Vikrama year 1458, which was found at Råypur and is now in the Nagpur Museum, and the full date of which I have given in Indian Antiquary, vol. XIX, p. 26, No. 20. In that inscription, which records the foundation of a temple of
Hatakesvara (Siva) by the Nayaka Hajirajadeva, the prince is described as Mahāraja. dhiraja, and called Rayabrahmadeva, Harirayabrahma, and simply Brahmadeva. The inscription also mentions his predecessors, who are there called Simgha and Ramachandra, instead of Simhana and Ramadeva.
I may mention, besides, that the names of these princes Simhana and Ramachandra also occur in a large mutilated inscription at Ramtek in the Central Provinces of which I owe a faint rubbing to Dr. Fleet.
