EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
[VOL. XII.
of his father and mother. He was king of both the Khiñjalis which were mentioned in the Sonpur plates of Satrubhañja as Ubhaya-Khiñjali-mandale and as Khiñjali in plate A. He is styled Rāņaka (1. 17), one who was worshipped by the Mahasamantas, who had obtained the five great sounds, and who had obtained a boon from the goddess Stambhēgvari. The inscription records the grant of the village of Vallagringā in the Khatia vishaya to a Brihmana of the V jasaneya charana, the Maudgalya götra, the Bhārmyasva pravara, and the Angirasa anupravara, the Bhattaputra Damodara, surnamed Bhūsbaņa, the son of Bhattabhishana, who hailed from the Bhatta-village of Khaduvāpalī, and, after his death, to his son the Bhattapatra Chhadoka (?). The grant was made in the 28th year of the king on the 5th day of the bright fortnight of Mārgasiras. It was incised by the merchant (vanik) and goldsmith (suvarnnakara) Sivanāga, the son of Pandi, and sealed with the Royal seal. This man Sivanāga also sealed the Sonpur grant of Ranabhañja's father Satrubhañja. I edit the inscription from the original plate.
