No. 17.-NOTE ON VIJAYADITYA'S GRANT OF SAKA 653
G. H. KHARE, POONA
Mr. S. C. Upadhyaya has edited a copper-plate grant of the Western Chalukya king Vijaya. ditya, dated Saka 653, in this journal Vol. XXV, pp. 21 ff. He did not, however, decipher the portion of its text concerning the village granted and the specification of its boundaries. Mr. N. L. Rao, in footnote 3, p. 21, has rightly deciphered the portion in question; but the localities have been left unidentified. I have attempted below to identify them.
Village
The following place-names occur in the grant. Navasari: name of the vishaya in which Tellädāhāra was included. Tellada: name of the ahara in which the village granted was situated. Tara[valdra: name of the village granted. Köñchaüttha, Tellada, Padhamatthana, Vēsima: names of villages by which the village granted was bounded. Of these Navasari is too well-known to require any identification. Now, in the Postal Village Directory of the Bombay Circle published in 1902, the names of the following villages are found, with the details shown against them.

? Read Märadasena. The aksharas Märadase, which were inadvertently omitted before na in this line, were afterwards incised in the lower right corner below 1. 14 on the first side of the second plate. For a similar case of omitted aksharas being misplaced, see -müle dattam-iti written in 1. 13 instead of below 1. 20 of the Indore plates of Pravarasens II, above, Vol. XXIV, p. 55.
Read likhitam.
This akshara is superfluous. Read Subham-astu.
