________________ No. 44.] THREE INSCRIPTIONS FROM NORTHERN INDIA. 813 . I regret that for the present I am unable to furnish from other inscriptions any certain information regarding the chiefs or princes, mentioned in this record. In a Mount Aba fragmentary inscription of Vikrama-Samvat 1377, of which we have a translation in Ar. Res. Vol. XVI. p. 285 ff., a Chåhumana Samarasimha (apparently of Sakambhari) is mentioned, who, like the Samarasimha of the present inscription, was succeeded by his son Udayasim ha; and in Ind. Ant. Vol. XIX. p. 175, No. 115, I have given, from one of Prof. Peterson's Reports, a date of Vikrama-Samyat 1306, of the reign of a prince Udayasimhadeva who might well have been Rûpådêvi's grandfather. But according to the Mount Abů inscription Udayasimha was succeeded by his son Manavasimha, not by Cháva ;' and I know of no Tējasimha (or Tējahsimha) and of no Samantasimha whom I could place in Vikrama-Samvat 1340. Badhapatra apparently is the village of Burtra' where the inscription seems to come from. I have not found the place on the maps at my disposal.

There is a Guhils Toja huimhs of Méwad for whom we have a date in V. 1884, but he had been succeeded in V. 1835 by his sou Samarasimba, and his wife was Jayatalladovi; 800 Jour, Beng, de. Soc.

The legend is that Krishyn held up the mountain Govardhane, to shelter the cow herds and their eattle from the heavy min, sent by the oftended Indra. - The wond kanatkára either is mistake of the engraver for rapatedra or is used by the writer instond of it. • Metre : Deatavilambita.
