c8.s4.t4.5

⁷⁴ A Jaina image inscription from Radeb tentatively dated Vikrama (10)78 (= A.D. 1022) and described as being in Hindi was noted in the *Annual Report of the Archaeological Department of Gwalior State for Vikrama 1992* (35, ins. no. 39), but this has apparently never been published in detail and hence cannot be taken as firm evidence of the epigraphic use of Hindi in the eleventh century (see SIE 55 and n. 3).
