(JOLT, 1910.
Its objoct was to bestow, as a privato writorious gift, about one acre22 of cultivated land, apparently in village Dhruvilāti (the swem in plate A) on a Kāņva-Lanhitya (?) brahman named Bhatta Gomidatta-svamin. The donor was Vatsapūla-svāmin (apparently a brahman) who was a kind of customs officer (800 General Remarks p. 212), aud he bought the land from some Bhiradvāja brahmans (1. 14) at the established rate. The prioo is not statod but must have been about 4 dināras. He then conveyed it to Gomidatta.

Bee General Remarks, p. 216. • The akrar Go is quite plain in the original plate, though it does not come out clearly in the reproduction.
# These letters are illegible, but sbould be equivalent to tat-grasāda in plato A, 1.2, or tad arumodanta in plate B, line 3.
It might perbapa bo read ly, which is no doubt right. Krijā is written bryā in plate A, l. 14.
The mā was omitted and was added by insertion beneath. Read Kale. Soo lines 19 and 20. # Or perhaps sya. Compare plate B, 1. 6, noto 7. The reading should probably be tasya. * Read vyavaharato. Compare plate B, 1. 6.
# The last two skarns should probably be maha-, but so much as appears on the plate hardly agrees there with. n The skana dha approximates to pā but agrees with dha in l. 17.
Compare plate B, 1. 10. # Read gunavat as in plate B, 1, 10, or unavate separately. # Read Kanvarājana:reya-lauhiltya; compare plate B, 1. 10-11. " Seo I. 20. Bead māmine. # The same error as in plate B, 1, 11, 13. Read Pratipadayitum. Rond magotrā, agreeing with bhavanto.
Instead of dhai, we might perhaps road pai. · Bond perhaps arbam akitum iti, the vowel marks being loat. The rest of this line is so much blurred that only two or three letters can be distinguished with any certainty. Its purport mast bavo been to the effect indicated by the alpars suggested, which are compatible with so much of the letters as remains. • The pa appoars to be inserted above and between ta and na.
Rond bawla
Road tri? Jve might be rond stu; but rond probably jana. Boud svamine the termination is omitted in l. 13.
