No. 39.-A FRAGMENTARY INSCRIPTION OF KING MALAYAVARMAN
By Prof. A. S. ALTEKAR, BENARES HINDU UNIVERSITY The inscription, which is here being edited for the first time, has been engraved on a stone fragment, which was lying with an overseer of the P. W. D. of the Kotah State, posted at Mongrol. When I visited this place in 1936 during the course of my archæological explorations organised by the state authorities, the overseer was good enongh to show me the inscribed piece lying with him. He could not say from where it was obtained, but it is obvious that it could not have been from a place far away from Mongrol. The stone fragment is very irregular in shape. Its breadth varies from five to ten inches, and its height from two to six inches. It is at present preserved in the office of the State Historian, Kotah.
1 Metre : Anushubh.
These two letters, which were probably miti, are cancelled.
