FOUR CHANDELLA COPPER-PLATE INSCRIPTIONS.
No. 14.]
donli-tray-Opta, 1 Lord of Kalañjara, meditating on the feet of the P. M. P. Sahi Mahārāja Viravarmadava, who meditated on the feet of the P. M. P. Sahi Mahārāja Trailokyavarmadava, who meditated on the feet of the P. M. P. Sahi Mahārāja Paramarddideva, announced the grant of Ko(or KI?)kadagrāma in the Vēdēsaitha-vishaya to two Brahmanas who were apparently brothers, on Sunday, the twelfth day of the dark fortnight of Bhadrapada and the Pushya-nakshatra in the Vikrama Samvat 1346, corresponding to Sunday, the 11th September, 1289 A.D. It will be noticed that in his own case Hammiravarmadeva has left out the grandiloquent title of the Mahäräjädhiraja Paramesvara, which he duly attached to his elders. This indicates that either he was fully conscious of his reduced position, which induced him to be content with a humbler title, or that he was never recognised as the Maharaja while his elder brother Bhöjavarmadeva was on the throne. In the Ajayagadh fort there is & sati record of Sarhvat 1346, which refers to the reign of Bhōjavarman. This copper-plate dated in the same year would therefore point to a usurpation of the throne, unless Bhojavarman died in the same year before the month of Bhadrapada, when the grant under publication was made.
The document was written by Par[dita*] Raurh ( Rāma)pals. The localities mentioned in the record are not traceable.

This is exactly the title used in the Bamhiti sati record which I misread as परमभट्टारक्याधिराजावलौत्रयोपेत. See above, Vol. XVI, p. 10, f. n. 4.
● In Bhadrapada of V. 8. 1846, ba. 12 commenoed on Sunday at 98 but the nakshatra Pushya ended on that day at 23.
See Madhuri, Vol. V, pt. 2, number %.
