position was equal to his own. But, from the rubbing, the proper reading is certainly purassara-sakala, in composition. The whole passage, in fact, from Mánagriha, line 4, down to mánasa, lines 5-6, is one continuous compound, meaning, in the latter part, that Jishnugupta's mind had been brought into a state of contentment by devising the means of freeing from calamity all the people headed by Dhruvadêva, &c. And the expression Dhruvadévapurassara-sakala-jana is analogous in its purport to the sa-nripatér-jjagato (hitaya), "(for the welfare) of the world (i.e. of all the people), together with the king," of line 2 of inscription K. below.
H.-Pandit Bhagwanlal Indraji's inscription No. 11; ante, Vol. IX. p. 174.-This is not a formal charter, issued from any specified place. It simply records certain grants made in the augmenting victorious reign of the illustrious Jishnugupta. The era-date, if any was recorded, is lost with lines 27ff.
I.-Pandit Bhagwanlal Indraji's inscription No. 1; ante, Vol. IX. p. 163 ff.-This furnishes the following short genealogy :-Vrishadêva;his son Samkara, with a reference in lines 9 and 10 to other sons, who, however, are not mentioned by name;-Samkara's son, Dharmadêva, who with justice [governed] a great hereditary kingdom (kula-kram-ágatam
rajyam mahat, line 17), and whose wife was Rajyavati;-and Dharmadêva's son Mâna dê v a, who was appointed to reign by his mother on his father's death. The inscription then records that Mânadêva made an expedition to the East, and reduced to obedience some "roguish," ill-behaved, or rebellious Samantas there, and then went back to the West, where also he heard of misdoings on the part of a Samanta. Here, unfortunately, the available part of the inscription terminates, the rest being buried underground. The date is (Gupta)Samvat 386, + A.D. 319-20, A.D. 705-6. J.-Pandit Bhagwanlal Indraji's inscription No. 12; ante, Vol. IX. p. 174 ff.-The charter is issued from Kailasakûṭabhavana. The inscription is one of the Paramabhattáraka and Maharajúdhiraja, the glorious Siva dêva

II. The Dutaka is the Rajaputra Jayadeva." The date is (Harsha)-Samvat 119, +A.D. 606-7, =A.D. 725-26.
K.-Pandit Bhagwanlal Indraji's inscription No. 2; ante, Vol. IX. p. 166 f.-This is not a formal charter, issued from any specified place. It simply records that, by the favour of the illustrious king' Mânadeva, a certain Jayavarman erected a linga named Jayêsvara, for the welfare of the world, (i.e. of all the people), together with the king," and endowed it with a permanent endowment. The date is (Gupta)-Samvat 413, + A.D. 319-20,= A.D. 732-33.
L.-Pandit Bhagwanlal Indraji's inscriptior No. 13; ante, Vol. IX. p. 176 f.-This inscription is very much damaged." The name of the palace whence the charter was issued, is lost. And the king's name is illegible in line 3; but, as it is preceded by the titles of Paramabhattáraka and Mahárájádhirája, the name was probably that of Sivadeva II., as in inscription J.; and Pandit Bhagwanlal Indraji filled up the lacunae in that way. This is a Buddhist inscription. The Dûtuka is the Bhattáraka, the illustrious, or perhaps the venerable, Śivadêva. The date is somewhat doubtful; but Pandit Bhagwanlal Indraji read it as (Harsha)-Samvat 143, + A. D. 606-7,= A.D. 749-50, with the possibility of the second symbol being 20 or 30, instead of 40.
M.-Pandit Bhagwanlal Indraji's inscription No. 14; ante, Vol. IX. p. 177f.-All the introductory part of this inscription, recording the palace whence the charter was issued and the name of the king, is broken away and lost. The Dútaka is the Yuvaraja Vijayadêva. The date is (Harsha)-Samvat 145, + A.D. 606-7, A.D. 751-52.-Pandit Bhagwanlal Indraji, taking Vijayadeva as a " vicarious" name of Jayadeva II., allotted the inscription, chiefly on this account," to Śivadêva II. As far as the date goes, the inscription may be one either of him or of Jayadeva II. But Vijayadeva cannot be a "vicarions" name of Jayadeva II. Occasional instances may be cited in which the special terminations of names vary; thus the Vasantasêna of his
