⁸ Edited by Fleet, *EI*, Vol. III, pp. 345-51. For previous notices of the inscriptions Nos. 5 and 7 see *IA*, Vol. V, p. 55 ff. and *JASB*, Vol. 41, Part I, *Proceedings*, p. 9 ff. For the identification of the localities see *EI*, Vol. LI, p. 199, and *OM*, p. 166 ff. B. C. Mazumdar has suggested that the *ārāma* or "pleasure garden" from which these records were issued is the same as the *Vihārārāma*, situated near Sonpur of the Maranjā-Mura grant of Mahāśivagupta. As the localities so far identified have no connection with Cuttack, and are distinctly stated to be situated in Kosala, Mr. Mazumdar may be right. In that case the find-spot of the grant seems to have no connection with the extent of Janamejaya's dominions. The grant uses *Kośala* for *Kosala*.
