charters of villages respected (by all) by the hundred' is borne out by his Cambay Plates issued about four months later, when he granted 600 villages and 3 lacs of gold coins to Brāhmanas and 800 villages and 4 lacs of gold coins to temples. The arrangement of the donor is stated to be that the proceeds of the village granted were to be utilised for the feeding of a thousand Brahmanas every day (apparently at Manyakheta). There is mention of some ceremonies on the Akshaya-purṇamāsī, which is probably the same day as the full moon of Magha, the date of the present grant. The boundaries of the village granted beginning from the east were the villages Karigrama, Maṇḍavaka, Nandasura, Nandalagrāma, Nasapura, Yamalagrāma, Vēllavasa, Dhammanagrama, Sellavi and Kapitthakhēda. None of these localities I have yet been able to identify, but they are apparently to be looked for in the western part of the Deccan plateau.
