DONGARGAON STONE INSCRIPTION OF JAGADDEVA; SAKA 1034. 183
general of the Yadava Emperor Singhana. One of these inscriptions is dated Saka 1150 (A.D. 1228-29). Another stone inscription written in old Marāthi has been discovered at Bhandak (called Bhadrapura therein), now a village 16 miles north-west of Chånda. It records the jirnoddhāra (renovation) of a temple dedicated to Näga-Nārāyana. The name of the Ränā Pavāra (Paramāra) who was ruling there is now illegible. The inscription contained a date in the Saka era, but the last two figures of it are now lost owing to the breaking off of the upper right hand corner of the stone. Rai Bahadur Hiralal conjecturally read it as 1308.1 This is the last record of the Paramāras found in the Central Provinces and Berar.
There is only one place-name in the present inscription, viz., Dongaragrams which is plainly identical with Dongargāon where the inscription has been found.

1 In his Inscriptions in C. P. and Berar Hiralal gives the date 88 Friday, the 10th of the dark fortnight of Margasirsha in the Saka year 13[08] bearing the name Kshaya which he says corresponds to Friday, the 16th November A.D. 1386. But my personal examination of the stone has shown that the reading is incorrect in one respect, viz., that the tithi was of the bright fortnight. The date, if the reading of the year is correct, would correspond to Friday, the 30th November A.D. 1386. ? From inked estampages.
