TWO PALA PLATES FROM BELWA
Pundravardhana bhukti and the Pundarikā mandala are also mentioned in the Belwā plate of Mahipala I, discussed above. The Phānita-vithi vishaya of our inscription is mentioned in that record as the Phānita vithi only. The village of Livanikama and that of Tinnidi which was the original home of the engraver's family cannot be identified with any amount of precision. The village of Vēllāvā, where the donee lived, is no doubt the same as the present Belwă, the findspot of the charter ; but the village of Vahēdā, whence the donee's family hailed, cannot be identified.

1 From an impression. • The reading of those lines is practically the same as that of lines 1-20 of the plate of Mahipala I, edited above • Tho dapda is unnecessary. • The visarga was at first omitted and later made on ke. • Sandhi has not been observed hero.
