Stone-Inscription at Delavaid on Mount Alu of Viradhaval. Dated Saga 1287.
The temple of Adinatha at Delavadi on Mount Abu contains this inscription cut into a white marble slab measuring 36 in. by 22 in. It is built up in the southern wall of the temple and has thirty-three lines of Sanskrit in Devanigari character. It mentions the building of a Jain temple to Neminatha by the celebrated Jains Vastupala and Tejapala, ministers to Waghela Rani Viradhavala whose father Lavapaprasada was a tributary king and minister of Bhimadeva II. Lavanaprasida also had for his contemporary Somasimhadeva, chief of Sirahatti probably Sirobi, who appears to have made the grant of a village named Haviņi in his territory for the maintenance of the temple. The date of the inscription is Samvat 1287, A. D. 1231, the time when the power of the Solanki kings at Ayahilapur was moving and other branches of the family were coming into power, of whom the Waghelà at last got the upper hand.
