bulging part is a band and leaves on either side. The kalasa is crowned with what looks like a smaller kalata and may be a cocoanut.
___It is dated in Saka 1182, Raudra Sanvatsara Chaitra vadi 15, Monday on a solar eclipse. The date thus corresponds to Monday, April 12, A.D. 1260, when there was a solar eclipse.1
It records that Sömēsvaradēva, lord of Kõrkana, granted land* (whose limits are mentioned) in Kömthala văţika in the village of Chămdije in Urana and 162 Põrutthao (?) drammas to god Uttarēsvara of Śrl-sthăna on the occasion of an eclipse of the sun.
The king is the same as in E but the names of the ministers are different, except that of the Mahämätya who is, as before, Jhāmpadaprabhu. Other ministers are the Mahāsāṁdhivigrahika Mainiku, Bebalaprabhu, Pomadépandita, and Govénāku.
The places mentioned in the inscription, Urana and Chamdijöare the modern Uran and Chanja respectively, while Kontha(dha)lasthāna may be the same as Kaladhonda, a place a little north of Uran.

1 Pillai, Indian Ephemeris, Vol. IV, p. 122. • In the inscription the word for this is bhd.
• [The inscription seems to record the gift of some building-site at Urana and some garden-land at Kömthala in the Chandije village.-Ed.]
• Bomb. Gaz., Vol. I, Pt. ii, p. 21, n. 1, suggests that this might stand for Parthian drammas.
