2. Plate of Paramardin, V. S. 1239 This is a single plate measuring about 15-2" in length and 11.7" in height. In order to protect the writing, which is on one side of the plate, four copper bands of a width of about 1' are fixed with copper rivets on all the four borders of the inscribed side. There are altogether 20 lines of writing. In the central part of the upper section of the inscription, a space about 2.3" square is occupied by the engraved figure of seated Gajalakshmi which has disturbed the continuity of the writing of lines 1-4. In the middle of the last line of the inscription & space measuring 1.6" in length is left blank apparently for a hole that would have been required if the inscription had continued on a second plate. The plate together with the rivetted border bands weighs 282 tolas.
The date of the document is quoted in lines 8-9 as Tuesday, Phålguna-vadi 4, V.S. 1239. It corresponds to the 23rd February 1182 A.D. if the year is regarded as curreut.
The beginning of the record in lines 1-6 is similar to that of Madanavarman's grant edited above. But, instead of Madanavarman, Paramabhattāraka Mahārājādhirāja Paraméávara Paramardin, who was likewise a devout worshipper of Mahēsvara and the lord of Kalabjara, is introduced
