The existence of this prince was revealed by the discovery of the \*Partabgarh stone-inscription\*. This stone was found affixed to a platform at Partabgarh, the capital of the state of that name in Southern Rajputana. The inscription contains 35 lines of writing and is naturally divided into four parts. It records a series of grants in favour of various shrines attached to the monastery of Hari-Ṛṣīśvara, who originally lived in Daśapura (mod. Mandasor). The inscription opens with 2 verses invoking the sun-god, followed by two verses in praise of the goddess Durgā. Then comes the statement that the inscription was issued from the \*Skandhāvāra\* situated at Mahodaya. Next is given the genealogy of the Gurjara-Pratīhāras, which is the same as in the Asiatic Society's plate of Mahīpāla as far as Mahendrapāla. \*Tasya-putras tatpādānudhyātaḥ Śrī-Mahādevyām-utpannaḥ Paramāditya-bhakto Mahārāja-Śrī-Vināyakapāla-devas\* \*tasyaputras tatpādānudhyātaḥ Śrī-Devathāddhi(?)-nāma-nija-kula-Prasādhanādevyām-utpannaḥ Parama-māheśvaro-Mahārāja-Śrī-Mahendrapāladevaḥ\*. This last named king grants the village of Kharpara-padraka in the holding of Tala-vargika Hariṣaḍa and situated in the vicinity of Ghoṇṭā-varṣikā, in the western \*Pathaka\* of Daśapura, to the goddess Vaṭa-Yakṣhiṇī Devī, whose temple was connected with the \*maṭha\* of Hari Ṛṣīśvara. The grant was made in V.S. 1003 at the request of Dhana-Sūra. The record was written by \*Purohita\* Trivikramanātha under the orders of Jajja-Nāga. It ends with \*Svahasto'yam Śrī-Vidagdhasya\* (line 13). - [Previous: v1.c20.54](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20.54) - [Next: v1.c20.56](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20.56) - [Up: v1.c20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20.55](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20.55) · Pramāṇa
