G.-PLATE OF GOVINDACHANDRA OF VIKRAMA-]SAMVAT 1176. This also is a single plate, which measures about 1' 53" broad by 1' l' high, and is engraved on one face only. In the upper part it has a ring-hole, about 1' in diameter. The plate contains 25 lines of writing which is in a tolerably fair state of preservation. The size of the letters is between 1 and 3". The characters are Någart, and the language is Sanskțit.As the name of the village, granted by this inscription, is illegible, and that of the district doubtful, and as the inscription otherwise contains really nothing new, it is ornecessary to publish any part of the text.
This inscription also is one of the Paramabhattáraka Maharajadhiraja Paramésvara Govindachandradêva, who records that, on Wednesday, the 9th of the bright half of Kärttika of the year 1178 (given both in words and in decimal figures), after bathing in the Ganges at Benares, he granted a village (the name of which is illegible) in (the) Saru[gå Prs (district) to the MahapurThita Jágufarman, son of the Dikshita Vilhân, and son's son of the Dikshita Purushottama. - The taxes specified in line 20) are tho bhagabhogakara and pravanikara. The grant professes to have been written (like F. and H.) by the Thakkura Gågûka.
The date is irregular; for, the 9th tithi of the bright half of Kârttika' of VikramaSamvat 1176 current ended about sunrise of Friday, the 25th October A.D. 1118, and that of Vikrama-Samvat 1176 expired, 11 h. 33 m. after mean sunrise of Tuesday, the 14th October A.D. 1119. The date would be incorrect also for Vikrama-Samyat 1177 and 1178 expired.
