⁴ This inscription was first published in 1848, in *JASB*, Vol. XVII, Part I, pp 317-20, as an appendix to Maisey's account of the antiquities of Kalinjar. It was then noticed by Cunningham in his *ASR*, Vol. XXI. p. 39. It has not yet been properly edited. Kielhorn noticed another Kalinjar inscription from rubbings supplied by Burgess in *EI*, Vol. V, *Appendix*, p. 35, No. 241. In line 3 it gives the date (*V.*) *Saṁ.* 1340 (A.D. 1283) ; but unfortunately it does not mention the name of the king. Cunningham noticed another stone-inscription at Ajaigarh, which is dated in 1372 *V.S.* (1315 A.D.) in the reign of Vīravarman. As the earliest inscription of the successor of Vīravarman is dated in *V.S.* 1345, he assumed the existence of a second king of that name. But it is more likely that there is some mistake in the reading of the date or the name of the king; see *ASR*, Vol. XXI, p. 54.
