No. 29. - SARSAVNI PLATES OF BUDDHARAJA; [KALACHURI-JSAMVAT 361.
BY F. KIELHORN, PH.D., LL.D., C.I.E.; GÖTTINGEN.
These plates are in the possession of Patel Karsan Daji at Sarsavņi (Sarasavant), a village four and a half miles south of Pådra, in the Pâdra subdivision of the Baroda State. Through Mr. Keshavlal Ranchhod Kirtania they were brought to the notice of Mr. Withal Nagar of Baroda, who kindly informed Dr. Hultzsch of their existence; and at the latter's request Lieutenant-Colonel C. W. Ravenshaw, Officiating Resident at Baroda, was good enough to send the plates to him for examination. I edit the inscription which they contain from excellent impressions, furnished to me by Dr. Hultzsch.
These are two copper-plates, either of which measures 10" broad by 7" high, and is inscribed on one side only. Their margins are raised into rims. Through two holes at the bottom of the first and the top of the second plate are passed two unsoldered plain rings, measuring 2" and 24" in diameter. There is no seal, and no indication of one having been attached to the plates. The writing is well done and carefully engraved, and throughout in an excellent state of preservation. The size of the letters is about". The characters belong to a variety of the southern alphabet which is well-known from Valabhi inscriptions and from the inscriptions
