[VIKRAMA-] SAMVAT 1443. This inscription was found at Nadlai, and is, like No. VIII., engraved on a pillar in the temple of Nēminātha called Jadvaji, situated on a hillock to the south-east of the village. It contains 16 lines of writing, which cover & space of 8" broad by 1' 3" high. The characters are Nagari. The language is Sanskpit, and the whole of the inscription is in prose. It is worthy of note that each line begins with two vertical strokes. In respect of orthography, it is sofficient to note that consonants following rare, as a rule, doubled, and that the final d is twice represented as if it were da, Srimada°, 1.7, for Srimad and jagada, J. 15. for agad.
