E.-PLATE OF GOVINDACHANDRA OF VIKRAMA-]SAMVAT 1175.
This also is & single plate, which measures about 1'5" broad by 1'1' high, and is engraved on one face only. In the upper part it has a ring-hole, about in diameter. The plate contains 24 lines of writing which is in a fair state of preservation. The size of the letters is about 3". The characters are Nagari, and the language is Sanskrit. As regards orthography, the letter b is throughout denoted by the sign for v, and the dental sibilant is frequently employed instead of the palatal.
This inscription also is one of the Paramabhaffaraka Maharajadhiraja Paramétuara Govindachandradeva, who records that, on Monday, the full-moon tithi of the month Magha of the year 1175 (given both in words and in decimal figures), after bathing in the Ganges at Benares, he granted the village of Achchhavali in the Ughanatêrahôttara pattala to the Purghita Jágúsarman, who is described here exactly as in the inscription B.-The taxes specified (in line 20) also are, as in B., the bhagabhôgakara and prava nikara. The grant was written by the Karanika, the Thakkura Sahadeve.
The date is irregular; for, in Vikrama-Sanyat 1175 current the full-moon tithi of Magha ended on Wednesday, the 9th January A.D. 1118, and in Vikrama-Samvat 1175 expired the same tithi commenced 12 h. 37 m. after mean sunrise of Monday, the 27th January, and ended 13 h. 10 m. after mean sunrise of Tuesday, the 28th January, A.D. 1119.
The localities I am unable to identify.
