TWO TALESVARA OOPPERPLATES.
115
The dataka (messenger for the conveyance of the grant) in plato A is said to be the pramātāra Süryadatta, the officer entrusted with the arrangement of) peace and war; and the writer the divirapati Vishnudāsa ; and the dutaka in plate B the pramatara Varanauatta and the writor the divirapati Dhanadatta. The engraver of both the grants was the goldsmith Ananta.
The accompanying plates have been prepared from excellent estampages supplied by Mr. H. Hargreaves, Superintendent, Hindu and Buddhist Monuments, Northern Circle, and the Bials bave been reproduced from photographs of plaster casts kindly taken by Mr. Rājārām Hari Sõjavalkar, Modelling Teacher, Mayo School of Art, Lahore.
I am far from being certain about the reading of the legend of the seals. What I can make out reads as follows:1 Vishnuvarmma-prapo(pauttrasya po(pauttrasya Vpishavarmmana[ho] 2 Sry-Agnivarmma-sutasyroha sāsana[m] Dvijavarmmana[ho] 3 . . . . -nuggrah-ārtthāya sādhu-samrakshanaya cha 4 Somavan-odbhavo rājā jayaty-amita-vikrama[ho]
This legend I might translate,
Here is the charter of Dvijavarman, the great grandson of Vishnuvarman, the grandson of Vpishavarman, and the son of the glorious Agnivarman. May the king, born of the lineage of the Moon, whose prowess cannot be measured, be victorious, for the purpose of favouring . . ., and of protecting the good ones.'
A.-GRANT OF DYUTIVARMAN: THE FIFTH YEAR.
