C.-BĀŇŅĒRĀ PLATE OF KELHAŅA-DĒVA (UNDATED). This inscription is on a single plate inscribed on one side only. To judge from the impron. sions, the plate varies from 7 to 8in length and from 43 to5" in breadth. In the centre ot the top line there is a ring-hole. Nothing is known about the ring or the seal.
The record contains 9 lines of writing. The characters are Nagari, and the language is Sanskrit probe with the exception of two customary verses in the Anushțubh metre. In respect of orthography it is to be noted that v and b are both denoted by the sign for t. In one place, however, viz. pa(ba)hubhik, 1.7, the sign for p is employed to represent b. The dental sibilant is repeatedly used for the palatal sibilant in lines 4, 5 and 6. The surds t and k and the labial
are doubled after a preceding r; e.g. pravarttamānē, 1. 2; achandrārkka-kalam, l. 4, and so on. Once ja is substituted for yo, tis. in jāsat, 1. 4. The abbreviation rūja", 1.2, denotes Tijaputra. Instances of peculiar spelling are mahirijäkirāja, 1. 1, for mulvarījadhiraj. ; -rijayarayy,

Resd शासनमनदमशज विभीक भिवोऽपरः. 1. The two augalar marks between the akaharat & and fy on the impressing indicate the omission of the letter मा which has been supplied below the last line. The corrected word thus reads मापि. Read करपि.

IT I do not understand this expression. [Nälaras perhaps corresponds to Hindustani málo, a elannel, and the whole migut he translated 'also the chautnel should not be damaged.'-S. K.]
