B.-PLATE OF JAYACHCHANDRA OF VIKRAMA-SAMVAT 1230. This also is a single plate, which measures about l' 6' broad by 1' 2" high, and is engraved on one face only. In the upper part it has a ring-hole, about in diameter. The plate contains 37 lines of writing which is in an excellent state of preservation. The size of the letters is between and 11" The characters are Någari, and the language is Sanskrit. As regards orthography, the letter b is throughout denoted by the sign for v; the dental sibilant is often employed instead of the palatal; and the word dmra is written anura, in line 23, and sêkhara $&shara, in line 25.
This algo is an inscription of the Paramabhaftáraka Maharajadhiraja Paramétvara Jayachchandradeva, who records that, on Wednesday, the 15th of the bright half of Mârgasirsha of the year 1930 (given in decimal figures only), after bathing in the Ganges at Benares, in the presence of the god Ådikesave (Vishnu), he granted the villages of Ahênti, Sarage and Athasue in the Unêviss pattald, with their patakas, to the Mahapurðhita Praharajasarman, the donee of the preceding grant.--The taxes specified (in lines 28 and 29) are the bhágabhôgakara, pravanikara, hiranya, kumaragadiana and nidhinikshépa. The grant was written by the Thakkura Sripati.
The date regularly corresponds, for Vikrama-Samvat 1230 expired, to Wednesday, the 21st November A.D. 1173, when the full-moon tithi of Mårgasirsha ended 7 h. 9 m. after mean sunrise.
