SEPTEMBER, 1912.]
The inscription opens with the date: Friday, the 10th of the dark half of Margasirsha in the [Vikrama] year 1218, when Kumirapáladeva was the paramount sovereign and Vahadadeva, the great minister, was doing all the business of the seal, relating to the drawing up of documents, etc. It then speaks of a grant made by his feudatory, Mahamandalika Sri-Pratûpasimha, who, we are told, was a son of Vastaraja and grandson of Yogaraja and belonged to the Voḍânâ family of the _eastern_section. Vodāna is the name of a Rajpút clan, which is now well-nigh extinct. It is, however, mentioned in an inscription found at Barla, 34 miles north-east of Jodhpur. The grant consists of a rupee per day allotted from the custom-house (mandapika) of Badari. It was made for the benefit of three Jaina temples, two of which were of Mahavira and Arishtanemi, situated in Nadûlaḍâgikâ, and the third of Ajitasvâmi-deva in Lavandaḍi.
Of the localities herein specified, Nadûlaḍagika is of course Nâḍlâi, as is clearly proved by Inscriptions Nos. VIII and XI published in my paper “ The Cháhamanas of Marwar" (Ep. Ind., Vol. XI., pp. 36 and 43). Inscription XI also speaks of Badari, which has been identified with Borli, 8 miles north of Nâḍlai. Lavandadi I am unable to identify. The two temples of Nâḍlat referred to in our inscription still exist at this place. The temple of Mahavira has now been dedicated to Âdinâth, but the Inscription No. XI found here distinctly shows that it was originally a temple of Mahavira. The temple of Arishțanemi mentioned in our inscription is doubtless the temple of Neminâtha, locally known as Jâdvâji, situated on a small hill to the south-east of Nadial. It was here that Inscription No. VIII was found, and in it the name of the god, Neminathadeva, is clearly specified.
