(3) *Rakhetra stone-inscription.*—This inscription was found on the right bank of the river Orr within the limits of the village of Rakhetra, not far from the old site of Chanderi in Gwalior. It is written in Sanskrit and incised on a rock-tablet. It is dated in V.S. 999 and 1000, and apparently records the construction of some sort of waterworks at a cost of 95 or 96 crores (of coins) by Vināyakapāla. As there is no overlapping of dates, we may with some certainty identify him with Mahīpāla *alias* Vināyakapāla.²
