Single plate (written on both sides, 33+29 lines) surmounted by a highly wrought ornament soldered on the top of it. The main part of the ornament is a seal formed by five concentric rings. On the upper part of the seal is a wheel on a pedestal with a deer facing on either side. Immediately below we have the legend \*Śrīmān-Dharmapāladevaḥ\*. Then comes the genealogy of the donor. The inscription was issued from \*Pāṭaliputra-samāvāsita-Śrīmaj-jayaskandhāvāra\* by \*Paramasaugato-Mahārājādhirāja-Śrīmad-Dharmapāladevaḥ\*. The grant which is dated in his 32nd year, records the gift of the three villages of Krauñcaśvabhra, Māḍhāśālmali and Pālitaka in the \*Viṣaya\* of Mahantāprakāśa, attached to the \*Maṇḍala\* of Vyāghrataṭī in the \*Puṇḍravardhana-Bhukti\* and the village of Gopippalī in the \*Āmraṣaṇḍikā-Maṇḍala\* attached to the \*Viṣaya\* of Sthālīkkaṭa to the temple of Nanna-Nārāyaṇa-bhaṭṭāraka, established by \*Mahāsāmantādhipati\* Nārāyaṇavarman. The grant was made at the request of this officer, and the \*Dūtaka\* of the grant was the \*Yuvarāja\* Tribhuvanapāla. The description of the camp at Pāṭaliputra, beginning with \*Sa khalu Bhāgīrathī-patha pravartamāna\* and ending with \*pādāta-bhara-namad-avaneḥ\* first occurring in this inscription after verse 13, became the stereotyped description of the \*Jaya-skandhāvāras\* of the Pālas in all subsequent grants.¹ - [Previous: v1.c16.71](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c16.71) - [Next: v1.c16.73](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c16.73) - [Up: v1.c16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c16) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c16.72](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c16.72) · Pramāṇa
