EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
[VoL. XIII.
in the administration of the kingdom during the reign of his brother Kolhapa, since his signmanual and approval are specified in the grant. Nothing is yet known about Ajaynsi ha,' the donor of this grant, or his father Kumarasiha; and it is uncertain whether they were in any way conneoted with the ruling family of the Chahamānas. Only one place-name, vir. Korotaka,. occurs in this inscription. Körötaks survives in the modern village of Körța (Jodhpur State, Rajputānā), which lies a short distance to the north of Bārņērā. Mr. Bhandarkar: observer, “Korţă is no doubt the same as the ancient Koramtaka which has given its uame to a Jaina gachchha and which formerly not only included the present village of Korţa, but bad spread as far south as Bamporå . . . . . . The whole ground between Korţă and Bamņēra is artificial and was doubtless the site of an ancient city, Koramtaka by name, as said above."

B.-BĀŃŅĒRĀ PLATE OF KĒLHAŅA-DĒVA : [VIKRAMA-) SAMVAT 1223.
This inscription is engraved on one side of a single plate which, as the impressions show, measures 61" x 5". The letters are well engraved and are on the whole in a good state of preservation. A hole for the ring holding the seal is seen in the middle of the first two lines of the inscription. Neither the ring nor the seal has been preserved.
1 This Ajayasihs is the same as the donor of grant C, below.
* The name of Körēfaka appears in slightly different forms in all the three inscriptions of this group. Our record has Köröfake in l. 3; Kõranaka is to be inferred from the Taddhita form Koramfakiya, a resident of Köranaka, in 11. 3 f, of record B, below, p. 210; and Koreshaka. occurs in 11. 2f. of record c, below, p. 211. -Loc. citi, p. 52.
