are Nagari, and the language is Sanskrit. As regards orthography, the letter b is everywhere denoted by the sign for o; the dental sibilant is often employed instead of the palatal; and the word sêkhara is written fêshara, in line 21, and tri tri, in line 23.
This also is an inscription of the Paramabhaffaraka Maharajadhiraja Paramédvara Govindachandradeva who records that, on Sunday, the full-moon tithi of Srivaņa of the year 1200 (given both in words and in decimal figures), after bathing in the Ganges at Benares, he granted the village of Kaila with its patakas Vivamayûta, Jamharimayûtå, Tihunmayûtå, Dadaüâmayûtâ, Åmbåmayûtâ, Savaramayîtê, Palasevali, Duņêndu, Châchâpurs and Pipalavalipi, in the Têmishapachottara pattald, to the Pandita Maharajasarman, son of the Mahapurohita Dikshita Jágú, and son's son of the Dikshita Vilha, & Brahman of the Bandhula gôtra, whose three pravaras were Bandhula, Aghamarshana and Visvâmitra. - The taxes specified (in line 25) are the bhagabhôgakara, pracanikara and hiranya. The writer's name is not given.
The date regularly corresponds, for the Karttikddi Vikrama-Samvat 1200 expired, to Sunday, the loth July A.D. 1144, when the full-moon tithi of Srávans ended 15 h, 31 m. after mean sunrise.
The localities I am unable to identify.
