(2) *Khajraho Jain Temple inscription.*—It is carved on the left door-jamb of the temple of Jinanātha at Khajraho. It consists of 11 lines of Sanskrit, partly in prose and partly in verse. The inscription begins with ‘*oṁ*’ and then gives the date (V.) S. 1011 (A. D. 1055). It next records ‘a number of gifts made (probably in favour of the temple where the inscription is) by one Pāhilla,’ who was ‘held in honour by Dhā(a?)ṁga-rāja’ and was a devotee of the ‘lord of the Jinas.’ The gifts mainly consist of gardens (*vāṭikā*). Line 10 mentions the name of *Mahārāja-guru* Vāsavacandra.²
