There are some medieval Jain inscriptions in Prakrit; e.g. the Ghatiyala inscription⁷ of Pratihāra Kakkuka, dated 862 A.D. Specimens of Prakrit are also found in a few medieval records⁸ in Sanskrit. An inscription⁹ in characters closely resembling those of the Dhar inscriptions of the time of Paramāra Bhoja (c. 1000-55 A.D.) contains specimens of various kinds of Prakrit speech. The Dhar inscriptions¹⁰ referred to above contain the text of the Prakrit poem entitled *Kūrmaśataka* ascribed to Bhoja.
