0.- PLATE OF VIJAYACHANDRA AND THE YUVARÂJA JAYACHCHANDRA
OF (VIKRAMA-]SAMVAT 1224. This also is a single plate, which measures about l' 5" broad by I' l' high, and is engraved on one face only. In the upper part it has a ring-hole, about " in diameter; and at the end of the text there is the figare of a conch-shell. The lower proper left corner of the plate is broken away, and by this one or two aksharas (of no importance) have been lost; otherwise the 31 lines of writing which the plate contains are well preserved. The size of the letters is between 1 and The characters are Nagari, and the language is Sanskrit. Tho writer (or engraver) has done his work in a very careless manner, so that the text is full of minor errors of all kinds. Besides, some of the signs employed are so badly formed that one is left to guess what letters are meant to be denoted by them. The inscription opens with eleven verses, the first nine of which it has in common with the preceding grants of Govindachandra, while verses 10 and 11, which eologize Gôvindachandra's son Vijayachandra, are already known from the published inscription of this king and from the inscriptions of his son Jayachchandra ;13 and towards the end our inscription has twelve benedictive and imprecatory verses. The formal part of the grant, from line 10 to line 23, is in prose, and is worded like the corresponding part of the published grant of Vijayachandra and the Yuvardja Jayachchandra.
The inscription is one of the Paramabhaftáraka Maharajadhiraja Paramésvara Vijayachandradêva, the successor of the P.M.P. Govindachandradêva, who was the successor
