EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
(VOL. IV.
of the P.M.P. Madanapaladêve, who again was the successor of the P.M.P. Chandradeva,
who by his arm had acquired the sovereignty over Kanyakubja (Kanaaj).' The king records in it that, with his consent, the Maharajaputra (or Maharaja's son) Jayachchandradeva, installed in the dignity of Yuvardja and endowed with all royal prerogatives, on Sunday, the tenth tithi of the bright half of the month Ash&dha of the year 1924 (given in words and partly in decimal figures), on the occasion of being initiated as & worshipper of the god Krishna (Vishạn), after bathing in the Ganges at Benares, and in the presence of the god Âdikêśava (Vishņu), granted the village of Haripura in the Jiâvai pattala to the preceptor of the performance of the Vaishnava worship, the Mahápurohita Praharajaśarman, son of the Mahapurðhita Dikshita Jágů, son's son of the Dikshita Vilhå, and son of the son's son of the Dikshita Purása, a Brâhman of the Bandhula gôtra, whose three pravaras were Bandhula, Aghamarshana and Visvamitra.-- The taxes specified here (in lines 22 and 23) are the bhagabhôgakara, pravanikara, játakara, gôkara, turushkadanda and kumaragadidnaka. The grant was written by the Thakkura Kusumapala.
The date regularly corresponds, for the Karttikadi Vikrama-Samyat 1224 expired, to Sunday, the 16th June A.D. 1168, when the 10th tithi of the bright half of Ashådhat ended 22 h. 5 m. after mean sunrise.
The localities I am unablo to identify. The Jigvai pattald apparently is the Jlavati pattalá of two inscriptions of the Maharajaputra Govindachandra of the years 1161 and 1162, Ind. Ant. Vol. XIV. p. 103, 1. 10, and Ep. Ind. Vol. II. p. 360, 1. 8.
