VI.-THE JAINA INSCRIPTIONS FROM SATRUMJAYA.
By G. BÜHLER, P#.D., LL.D., C.I.E. The subjoined editions and abstracts of 118 inscriptions, found in the Jaina temples on the hill of Satrum jaya near Palitâņâ, have been prepared according to the impressions, taken by Mr. Cousens during the working season of 1888-89, and made over to me by the Editor. They consist of twogreat series, the first comprising Nos. i-xxxii which range between Samvat 1587 and 1710, and the second, Nos. xxxiii-exv, which run from Sanvat 1783 to 1943 or 1887A.D. As the latter series of course possesses in general little historical interest, I have thought it inadvisable to publish them in extenso, and I believe the abstracts given below will satisfy all requirements. I have, however, made an exception with No. cv, because it contains a tolerably complete account of the heads of the Añchala gachchha, regarding which hitherto very little has become known. Moreover, it furnishes a good sample of the Sanskrit, written by the Yatis of our days, and it may be useful for settling the controversy regarding the origin of the “mixed” dialects found in older books and inscriptions, as well as that regarding the advisability of bringing. by conjectural emendations, the language of somewhat older Jaina authors such as Merutunga, Rajasekhara and Jinamandana, into harmony with the rules of Sanskrit grammar. The transcript of this document as well as those of Nos. i.xxxiji and No. cxviii have been prepared by Dr. J. Kirste, Privat-Docent in the Vienna University. and to him belong also the footnotes appended to the same.
As regards the historical information contained in the 118 inscriptions, it falls under the following heads:-(1) notes regarding the political history of Western India;
The dates of Nos. cxvi-cxvii are not certain. No. cxviii ought properly to stand after No. xii.
