No. 25.-FURTHER NOTE ON DHULEV PLATE OF MAHARAJA BHETTI,
YEAR 73
V. V. MIRASHI, NAGPUR
I have read with great interest Dr. D. C. Sircar's Note on the Dhulēv plate of Mahārāja Bhētti, in which he oriticises my interpretation of the grant and its date. I shall deal here briefly with the points raised by him.
1 Better read Ovigraha-futa. *Sanskrit Salyao.
• Here a passage referring to the king's order regarding the grant, addressed to his officials, subordinates and others, seems to have been inadvertently omitted.
• Sanskrit Vataya-sagðtraya parich-arshiyao. 6 Sanskrit Raundilyao. . Read out. Agasti.
Sanskrit Brihaspataye ddsaniksitya. . Read yah kabohit harati harayati narakd pithibhia. . Read Sva-dattan para-dattam vd yo. 1. Read vishthayath brimir=bhütud pithibhia. 11 The intended reading seems to be Brahmana-Priyakal sakshikal. - 11 The first part of the name is no doubt Sanakrit Govinda.
13 The intended reading may be brf-Dhollaja-nämna Gabhuruja-namna cha likhita triphali. The word triphali is found in the records of the Somavam is in the sense of a charter engraved on A net of three copper plates.
24 The double danda i preceded by a visarga-like sign which forms a part of the mark of interpunctuation and apparentıy indicates here a fullstop. Suah marks are found in many other records, v.g., the Madras Museum plates of the time of Narendradhavala (above, Vol. XXVIII, pp. 44 ff.).
» Above, PP. 5 ff.
