Then comes the name of Govindarāja, of this lineage; his son Durlavarāja; his son Indrarāja built the great temple of the Sun-god known (as Indrādityadeva at Ghoṇṭā-varṣikā). This is an entirely new Cāhamāna family, which appears to have risen to importance in the service of Bhoja I (\*c.\* 836-90). Next we are told that there was one Mādhava, who was \*Mahāsāmanta-Danḍanāyaka\* in Ujjayinī, and Śrī-Śarman appointed by Kokkaṭa, who was \*Balādhikṛta\* serving at the feet of \*Parameśvara\* (\*i.e.\*, Mahendrapāla II?) at Maṇḍapikā (mod. Mandu) (line 20). The aforesaid Mādhava (here called \*Tantrapāla-Mahāsāmanta-Mahādaṇḍanāyaka\*) (line 21) having come to Ujjayinī on business and having bathed at the temple of Mahākāla, granted on the Mīna-Saṁkrānti day the village of Dhārā-padraka for repairs to and maintenance of daily services to the temple of Indrāditya deva, at the request of \*Cāhamānānvaya-Mahāsāmanta-Śrī-Indrarāja\*, son of Durlabharāja. In line 26 is recorded a grant of a field. It comes to an end with \*Svahasto'yam Śrī-Mādhavasya Svahasto'yam Śrī-Vidagdhasya\*. - [Previous: v1.c20.55](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20.55) - [Next: v1.c20.57](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20.57) - [Up: v1.c20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20.56](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20.56) · Pramāṇa
