No. 37.- BHADANA GRANT OF APARAJITA;
SAKA-SAMVAT 919. BY F. KIELHORN, PH.D., LL.D., C.I.E.; GÖTTINGEN. These plates are said to have been found, in 1881, with the headman of 'Bhere,' a village about ten miles north of Bhiwandi, the chief town of the Bhiwandi tâlokê of the Thâņa district of the Bombay Presidency. I edit the inscription which they contain from excellent impressions, prepared by Dr. Fleet, to whom the original plates were lent by their present owner, Colonel A. F. Dobbs, late Madras Staff Corps.
These are three oopper-plates, the second and third of which are engraved on both sides, while the first is so on one side only. Each plate measures about 10%" broad. by 73' high. Their edges were fashioned thicker, so as to serve as rims to protect the writing; and, with the exception of a fow short passages on the first sides of the second and third plates, the inscription
This word, tattim, and the word tatti in the next line are quite clear in the rubbings, and cannot be read in any other way. The two previous editions of the text have tatrim in this line, and tatri or tatra in the next.
Metre of this verse and of the two next veries: śloka (Auushtabb). * Read maraka. • Metre : Vasantatilake. The construction in this verse is grammationlly incorrect. * Metre: sloks (Anushţabb). • This word, insted of which the two published versions of the text have déb, is quite clear in the robbings. 7 Instead of sdhdjagatyds, which is quite clear in the rabbings, the published texta bave ndajadidnydin. • Read goli. . See the Bombay Ganetteor, Vol. XIV. p. 60.
