TRANSLATION. [LI. 1–3] Bliss ! From Panchanagari- Kumārāmātya Kulavriddhi, who meditates on the feet of the Bhattāraka (i.e., the king), informs, after enquiring about their health, the adhikarana (court) of the vishaya and the village householders, along with the Brāhmaṇas and others and the Chief-officers (Samuyarahārins) of (the two localities named) Trivrită and Srigöhali connected with the village named Vayigrāma.
[LI. 3—6] Bhöyila and Bhāskara, two family headmen residing in this locality, thus apply. The (building) of the temple of Lord Govindasvamin founded by Sivanandin. father of us both, is poorly endowed. In this vishaya prevails (the procedure) of sale at the rate of two dināras for each kulyavāpa of shrubless fallow fields, which do not yield any revenue (to the Skate), (the lands being purchased) in accordance with the principle of perpetual endowment, to be
1 Read ch-akshao.
* This word put before the abbreviated totalisation of the amount of land purchased does not appear to me explicable. Phutta (Skt. aphufita) in line 7 would suggest that it might stand for Skt. ninna meaning low land. -Ed.)
* The Paharpur plate gives tad- (. 19) which is a much better reading.--Ed.
4 This inust be the reading in the Paharpur plate also, where in the place of svakarmando (1. 19) it would be better to read svakarshanao as in this plate.)
This word seems to be the name of the vishaya in charge of Kulavriddhi. It may also be suggested that it may kave been the name of the district headquarters where the court (adhikarana) of the vishaya was situated.
