v2.c28.196

⁴ A fragmentary stone inscription, written in Nāgarī characters of about the 11th or the 12th century was discovered on the walls of the ruined fort of Jhansi. Line 2 of this inscription refers to the Ganges as the resting-place of Kānyakubja. It also appears to mention the (Candella?) Kīrtivarman and (the Malwa ruler) Udayāditya. The record belongs to the illustrious Sallakṣaṇa-siṁha. Kielhorn did not see 'any cogent reason' for identifying him 'with the Candella Sallakṣaṇavarman or for assigning this inscription to the Candella ruler. See *EI*, Vol. I, pp. 214-17. The inscription is now in the Lucknow Museum.
