Stone-Inscription at Bhorfnd under Jamanagar of the time of Bhimaleva II. Dated Sampat 1275.
Bharina is a small village near Khambhalil, a sea-port town in the gulf of Cutch under Jamanagar in Kathiav!. To the west of the village there is a Bâva's Matha or monastery wherein there is a small open verandah with the picture of Ganapati on its side. In this side this inscription-stone is built up having also a cow's figure on it. It measures 15 in. by 8 in. and contains nine lines of which the last two and a few letters in the first and fourth lines have become quite indistinct. It mentions the name of Sri Samatasiraha, then governor of Saurashtra sent by Raja Bhimadeva who ruled at Agahilapura. By the order of the governor a Vdo was caused to be made and some part of the transit duties of the village of Bharin was assigned for its maintenance. It is written in Devanagari character, the composition being Sauskrit prose. It gives the year Samvat 1975, A. D. 1219.
Aho! Shrutgyanam
