ABSTRACT OF CONTENTS, After the words "Om! Hail!", the record opens with a verse introducing the name of the king' Ravidatta (line 1), by whom, as we learn further on, the grant purports to have been made. The verse begins with the words tad=anu jayati, "after that, victorious is ...... Ravidatta;" which shew that at any rate some invocatory verse has been omitted here.
It then gives Ravidatta's genealogy. It states that there was a king' named Rashtra. varman (1.4), who seems to be described as belonging to the Kasyapa götra (1. 3). His son was
king' Nagadatta (1. 5). His son was the king,' the illastrious Bhujamgadhiraja (1.7), if we accept the correction that suits the metre and is suggested by the syllables that actually occur; and in connection with this person, and evidently as his wife, mention is made of a daughter of the king,' the illustrious Singavarman, but her name either was omitted or cannot be made out. His son was Skandavarman (1. 8). His son was Punnataraja (1.9), And his descendant is the king,' the illustrious Ravidatta (1. 11), who has now been governing the earth for a long time.
While his, Ravidatta's, victorious camp is at the town of Kitthipura, or perhaps Kirtipura, which is the best of towns (1. 11), with the permission of Cheramme, on the new-moon day of Phalguna (1. 12), on Sunday, under the Bevati nakshatra, and at an eclipse of the sun, the village named Pungisoge (1. 13), which is described as being in the east-central desa
