(11) A copper-plate grant from Balsâr, in Gujarât,² which contains a charter issued from the town of Mangalapurî by the Râja Mangalarasa, who had the birudas of Vinayâditya, Yuddhamalla, and Jayâśraya, and was another son of Dharâśraya-Jayasimhavarmân, the younger brother of Vikramaditya I. Contrary to the usual practice of the Gujarât grants, this record is dated, not in the Kalachuri or Chêdi era, but in Śaka-Saṁvat 653, which, if the year is to be applied as expired, is equivalent to A. D. 731-32;³ and this fact suggests that the record really belongs, not to the Lâṭa country, but to the territory above the Ghauts, in the direction of Nâsik and Khândêsh.
