¹ An account of the grant was given by Colebrooke in the *Asiatic Researches*, Vol, IX, pp. 434-438, which was republished in his *Miscellaneous Essays*, Vol. II, pp. 279-282. The next attempt to give a reading of the inscription was made by Hoernle in the *Centenary Review of the Asiatic Society of Bengal*, Part. II, pp. 210-218. This was reprinted after revision in the *IA*, 1885, Vol. XIV, pp. 166-168. Kielhorn next published the metrical portion of the grant (first 20 lines) in the same journal in 1892, Vol. XXI, pp. 97-101. Mr. R. D. Banerji has now fully edited the inscription in *EI*, Vol. XV, pp. 295-301. Mr. Banerji is wrong in asserting in his fn. 1, p. 295, that Kielhorn found Mudgagiri is the name of the camp in the rubbings sent to him by Fleet. This was the opinion of Hoernle and not Kielhorn, who distinctly says it is 'not Mudgagiri'; see *IA*, Vol. XIV, p. 167, fn. 39, and Vol. XXI, p. 97. The grant is now in the Asiatic Society of Bengal.
