S. 1442 (A.D. 1384) gives us the name of prince (\*Nṛpa\*) Bharma of the \*Rāṣṭroḍa-vaṁśa\*.² Veraval is a port in the State of Junagarh, in Kathiawar, situated in Lat. 20°33′ N. and Long. 70°26′ E. The inscription reveals the existence of Rāṣṭrakūṭa chiefs in Kathiawar even after the Muslim conquest in 1299 A.D., and is chiefly interesting as it supplies the form \*Rāṣṭroḍa\* which shows the gradual vernacularisation of the word Rāṣṭrakūṭa towards modern Rāṭhoḍa or Rāṭhor. - [Previous: v1.c19.s4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c19.s4.4) - [Next: v1.c19.s5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c19.s5.2) - [Up: v1.c19.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c19.s5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c19.s5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c19.s5.1) · Pramāṇa
