EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
[VoL. XXIII.
we learn nothing new, as one more inscription of this year and one of a later date are already known.1
The names of the governor and the viceroy, Jäidēva and Rāmadēva respectively, are not found in earlier inscriptions. But Jäidēva seems to have succeeded Krishnadēva, who is mentioned in an earlier grant as the governor of Kõnkan. Ramadēva, however, may be identified with the person called Sri-Rāma mentioned in the Thâņā plates of the reign of the Yadava Ramachandra of $. 1212, according to which Kțishṇadēva was ruling over Kaunkaņa under the orders of Sri-Rāma, provided that Sri-Rāma, whose birudas, etc., are not given, is regarded as a different person, as suggested by the context, from the Yadava king, who in the two cases in which he is mentioned in the plates, is called Sri Ramachandradēva.
The object of the grant is to record the donation of a village, the name of which seems to be Supali. To the east of it was a village called Gharavali, and on the other three sides a river.
The inscription is in prose and the language incorrect Sanskrit and old Marāļhi. As regards orthography there is nothing particularly to note but the frequent use of dental sibilant for the palatal.
