THREE INSCRIPTIONS FROM UDAYPUR IN GWALIOR.
BY PROFESSOR F. KIELHORN, C.I.E.; GÖTTINGEN. I edit these inscriptions from rubbings placed at my disposal, together with others, by Mr. Fleet, to whom they were made over by General Sir A. Canningham. The originals are at Udaypur, town now belonging to the State of Gwalior, and once forming part of the kingdom of Milava; Indian Atlas, quarter-sheet No. 52, Lat. 23° 54' N., Long 78° 7' E. The inscriptions A. and C, are important, chiefly because they show that the Chaulukya rulers of Anhilwad do not vainly boast when in their inscriptions they claim to have repeatedly defeated the kings of Malava. And the inscription B. is of some interest, both for its date and because it contains the name of one of the districts which is mentioned in the inscription C. I may add here that there is another inscription at Udaypur, which in line 3 professes to have been recorded during the reiga of victory of Jayasimha, the predecessor of the king Kumarapaladóv& who is mentioned in the inscription A., bat that the condition of the rubbing renders its publication at present impossible. According to a statement in pencil which is on the rubbing, this last inscription is outside the entrance of the great temple of the town; it contains 12 lines of writing which cover a space of about 2' 8" broad by 1' 5" high.
A.-Stone Inscription of Kumarapaladova.
(The Vikrama year 1220 P). This inscription is stated to be inside the east entrance of the great temple of the town. It consists of 20 lines; and the writing covers a space of about 1' broad by 1'11" high. But the inscription is incomplete now; for, at the beginning of each line we miss from about eight to ten aksharas, which may have covered a space of about eight inches broad, all the way down, on the proper right of the actually preserved writing. The size of the lettors is between l' and 11 The characters are Nagari, and the language is Sanskrit ; and, judging from what

Regarding the word Tribhuvanayanda, spoken of ante, Vol. VI. p. 186, I would point out that in . MS. which was writton during the reign of Jayasimha, Tribhuranganla is a name applied to Jayasinhs himself. See
