tion of a Gäñga grant in Vol. XIII, p. 216. As I have shown in Vol. VII, p. 107, note 4, akhafali, the person to whom the engraving of copper-plate grants is entrusted, means goldsmith,” and must not be confounded with akshapatalika, 'a keeper of records.'
Of the localities mentioned in this inscription, Kalinganagara (1. 1) is the present Mukhalingam," and Urāmalla, where the donee resided ( 1. 12), is Urlams where the copperplates were obtained. In the absence of local maps, I am unable to identify the village granted, Hopdevaka (1. 8 ), and another village, Eattaravanna, which seems to be referred to in the description of the boundaries of the former (116). The district of Krishtuka-vartanī (l. 8) occurs also in the Chicacole plates of Devendravarman."
