EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
(Vol. IX.
two should not be considered to be identical. Of the length of the reign of Arjunavarman's father we know nothing; and all we know in this respect nbont Arjunnvarman is, that he reigned during the five years from A.D. 1211 to A.D. 1215. Besides, it should be borne in mind that A sadhara himself, from whole work the above statement is taken, was a contemporary of no less than five successive kings of Malava, fron. Vindhyavarman to Devapala's son Jaitugidêva.
The inscription ends with the words: this is the own hand (i.. thu sign-manual) of the Maharaja, the glorious Devapaladēva,' followed by the usual manyalun mahi-xrih.
