As regards the date, in the Chaitrádi Vikrama-Samvat 1232 expired the 8th tiths of the dark half of the purnimanta Bhadrapada commenced 11 h. 58 m. after mean sunrise of Sunday, the 10th August A.D. 1175, and in the Karttikadi Vikrama-Samvat 1232 expired the same tithi of the amanta Bhadrapada ended about 10 h. 12 m. after mean sunrise of Sunday, the 29th August A.D. 1176; and such being the case, one would at first sight incline to look upon Sunday, the 29th August A.D. 1176, as the true equivalent of the date. But the date of this grant, which was made at the játakarman of the prince Harischandra, must be earlier than the date of the grant published in the Indian Antiquary, Vol. XVIII, p. 130 ff., which was made at the time of giving a name to the same Harischandra. And since that other date, Samvat 1232 Bhadra-sudi 13 Ravau, undoubtedly corresponds to Sunday, the 31st August A.D. 1175, the proper equivalent of the date of the present inscription must be taken to be Sunday, the 10th August A.D. 1175, although the 8th tithi of the dark half only commenced about 12 hours after sunrise of that day. This result shows that the 8th tithi of the dark half of (the púrnimânta) Bhadrapada of the date was taken as the Krishnajanm-ashtami, which must be joined with the day of which the tithi occupies the time of midnight, and which in the present case could not have been coupled with any other day than Sunday, the 10th August A.D. 1175.
The localities I am unable to identify.

Compare a similar date in Ind. Ant. Vol. XXIV. p. 2, No. 126.
- Up to this, the text is essentially like that of the grant of Jayachchandra poblished in Ind. Ant. Vol. XVIII. p. 180. In verse 6 this inscription also has Madanachandru instead of Madanapala. 3 These signs of punctuation are superfluous.
• Read --Ordho-ddhaiz. Here krishna-pakald has been omitted.
• Read -dindenkta. 7 Read - Hariéchandra'; compare Ind. Ant. Vol. XVIII. p. 131, 1. 28. & Rend-triprao.
