² Cunningham in his translation of the record accepts the name as ‘Raja Lakhana Deva(?)’. But at that time the Machhlishahr grant was not known. See on this point R. D. Banerji, *JASB*, 1911, pp. 765 ff. Note the inscription engraved on a brick which was found in a village near Jaunpur. It is dated in (V) *Saṁ.* 1273 (A.D. 1217) and is a deed of mortgage recording the loan of 2,250 *Shabdeddika drammas* on the pledge of certain fields. It does not mention the name of the king, but its script is similar to Jayaccandra's grants; see *JASB*, Vol. XIX, pp. 454-56.
