Of the *Mahāsāmantādhipati* and *Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara* Chhittarāja, we have a copper-plate charter from Bhaṇḍūp in the Thāṇa District,⁷ which describes his sphere of rule in the same words as those, evidently used in the case of Arikêsarin in the Thâna grant, and furnishes for him a date in the month Kârttika (Oct.-Nov.), falling in A.D. 1026, of the Kshaya saṁvatsara, Śaka-Saṁvat 948 (expired), when he granted some land at a village named Nôura,—the modern ‘Nowohar’ of the map,—in the Shatshashṭi district which was included in (the province of) Sthânaka, *i.e.* Thâna. The command conveyed in this charter is addressed to, amongst others, all the inhabitants of the town named Hamyamana.
