A number of Hindī inscriptions, mostly on images and hero or satī stones, were discovered in the former Gwalior State now merged in Madhya Pradesh.² The earliest of these records is on a Jain image from the Shyopur region and the date in it has been tentatively read as V. S. 1078 (1022 A.D.).³ The Bhonrasa (old Gwalior State) inscription of 1483 A. D. referring to Sulṭān Ghiyāṣuddīn of Malwa is written in Persian and Hindī.⁴ Among Hindī records of the time of the Gond rulers of Madhya Pradesh, reference may be made to a grant (1550 A.D.) of Dalpat Shāh, son of Saṃgrām Shāh⁵. The Damoh inscription⁶ of the time of Muḥammad Shāh II of Malwa is dated in 1512 A.D.
