THREE LAND-GRANTS FROM SANKHEDA.
21
Though the details about the family of the donor have been lost, the last two state. ments permit us to recognise that the document was issued during the reign of Dadda IV.-Prasantarága II." and that the donor was the brother of the latter; for, as the two Kheda grants of Dadda IV. were issued in Sam. 380 and 385," it follows from the new date, Sam. 391, that the same person must be meant here by the expression "the illustrious Dadda." Further, as Raņagraha is called both a son of Vitaråga and a relative of Dadda, and as the latter was a son of Jayabhata II.-Vitaraga II., Ranagraha must have been Dadda's brother or cousin. Our grant shows, therefore, that the reign of Dadda IV. lasted at least until Sam. 391, or, as the Gurjaras used the Chedi era of A.D. 249, until A.D. 640.

No. III.-- A grant of Santilla, general of Nirihullaka. The plate measures 8 inches by 3 inches, and contains 12 lines in characters closely resembling those of the early Chalukya plates and of the Mahakūta pillar inscription edited by Mr. Fleet, Indian Antiquary, vol. XIX, pp. 7 ff. The plate is slightly damaged at the top and on both sides at the bottom. Two holes on the lower side show where the rings were originally placed. The language of the grant is slightly incorrect Sanskrit. " Ind. ant. vol. XVII, p. 191.
