EPIGRAPHIA INDICA
[VOL. XXXI Anantavarman and his capital city beoome famous under the namo Kolahala but does not refer to the original name of the city.
The grant portion of the insoription begins in lino 129. Linea 122-27 state that, on the occasion of a solar collpuo in the Saka year 1120, king Rajarlija III, apparently when he was staying at Sri Purushottama- hotra on the shore of the occan, granted the village of Korada or Korada in the Afthlytua khanda (sub-division) within the vishaya (district) of Bayilo in Utkala-dida al & rent-free holding in favour of a number of Brahmanas of various götras. The grant is stated to have been made for the merit of the king's mother Våghallodovi. It is not impossible that the king and his mother went to Sri-Purushottama-kabētra (i.e. Purt) on pilgrimage for taking a bath in the holy waters of the Bay of Bengal on the occasion of the eclipse. In Saka 1120 there was only one solar eclipse oocurring on Thursday the 28th of January 1199 A.D. The grant, therefore, was made on the said date.
The donees are enumerated in lines 128-45. The names of the Brāhmaṇas aro quoted along with their respective götra as well as the aros of land grantod to each of them. Twelve of the Brāhmaṇas received 102 vafis of land, each Vapi measuring about 20 acres. Sixty-two other Brahmanas received one Griha-udfi or house-site sach, while a Brahmapa named Dharmü alone received four Griha-udfis. It is stated that the Griha-odfis granted to these Brahmapas amounted to fifteen' vafis in area. Vidyakaräryya of the Kankika götra was the paniya-grähin or the principal dones who seems to have rooeived the ooremonial water from the donor on behalf of the donees. He received 20 Vafis out of 30 vafis of land granted to Viddankryys. The details of the grant are quoted below in a tabular form. The last name of the list may be that of the God of Pori.
