T.-PLATE OF JAYACHCHANDRA OF VIKRAMA-JSAMVAT 1232. This also is a single plate, which measures about 1' 5' broad by 1' 11" high, and is engraved on one face only. In the upper part it has a ring-hole, about " in diameter. The plate contains 32 lines of well preserved writing. The size of the letters is between and 1". The characters are Nagari, and the language is Sanskpit. As regards orthography, the letter bis denoted by the sign for v everywhere except in the words babhramur, 1. 8, and brâhmandya, 1. 23; the dental sibilant is sometimes employed instead of the palatal, and the palatal sometimes instead of the dental; and the word amra is written amura, in line 19, tamra tambra, in line 31, and Yajñavalkya apparently Yadnávalka, in line 23.
This also is an inscription of the Paramabhaffaraka Maharajadhiraja Paramétvara Jayachchandradeva, who records that, on Sunday, the 8th tithi of the dark half of Bhadrapada of the year 1932 (given both in words and in decimal figures), after bathing in the Ganges at Kasi (or Benares), at the játakarman (or birth-ceremony when the navel-string is divided) of (his) the king's son Harischandradêva, he granted the village of Vadêsara in the Kangali pattald to the Purshita Praharajaśarman, son of the Mahadikshita Purohita YAjñavalkya, and son's son of the Mahadikshita Vishņusarman, a Brahman of the Bandhula gôtra, whose three pravaras were Bandhula, Aghamarshaņa and Visvamitra.-The taxes specified (in line 24) are, as in S., the bhagabhôgakara and pravanikara; and, like S., this grant was written by the Akshapatalika, the Thakkura Vivika. Moreover, this inscription contains the same postscript which we have in S., only slightly differently worded. As the donee clearly is the same Praharijasarman who is mentioned in preceding inscriptions, the person here called Yfjñavalkya must be the Jaga of the other grants, and Vishņusarman the man called generally Vilhá, and once, in P., Vedasarman.
