c8.30

The seal on the ring holding the plates together is probably the original seal, as it is badly damaged, the inscription being obliterated and the emblem (an elephant) very indistinct. In this inscription it is said that after kings of the dynasty of Narak, Bhagadatta and Vajradatta had ruled for 3000 years, Pushya Varman ascended the throne. He was succeeded in the direct line in turn by the following kings, the names of their queens being added in brackets:— Samudra Varman (Dattadevi), Bala Varman (Ratnavati), Kalyāna Varman (Gandharvavati), Ganapati (Yagnavati), Mahendra Varman (Suvratā), Nārāyan Varman (Devavati), Mahābhuta Varman (Vijnānavati), Chandra Mukhā (Bhogavati), Sthita Varman (Nāyanadevi), Susthita Varman alias Sri Mrigānka (Syāmadevi). The last-mentioned ruler had two sons, Supratishthita Varman and Bhāskara Varman.†
