(6) *Madanpur stone-inscriptions of Cāhamāna Pṛthvīrāja.*—These were discovered by Cunningham on the pillars of a *maṇḍapa* of an old temple in the village of Madanpur, ‘situated at the mouth of the best and easiest pass leading from Sāgar to the north.’ The village ‘is 24 miles to the S. E. of Dudahi, 35 miles to the S. S. E. of Lalitpur and 30 miles to the north of Sāgar (Saugor).’ The inscription informs us that *Jejāka-bhukti*, the country belonging to Paramardi, was devastated and plundered by Pṛthvīrāja in *(V.) Saṁvat* 1239 (A. D. 1182-83).³
