1 After this article was sent to the press we noticed Mr. A. S. Gadre's account of two unpublished copperplate inscriptions of the Silähära Aparajita, dated Saka 915. (Proceedings and Transactions of the Ninth AllIndia Oriental Conference, p. 880.) These inscriptions were found at Murupda-Janjira in the Koliba District of the Bombay Presidency, and are now preserved in the Baroda Museum. One of them registers the grant of an orchard in the village Säläpaka lying in the Papada district. These places are evidently identical with those of the same names mentioned in the present grant of Chhadvaideva, which we have located in the Kolabā District. This account has unexpectedly confirmed our readings of the place-names and their identifications proposed above. The two grants have since been published by Mr. Gadre in Important Inscriptions from the Baroda State, Vol. I, pp. 35 f.
The expression means who resorts to (Vishnu) whose eyes are long like a fresh garden-lotus'.
