The record opens with \*Oṁ namaḥ Kedārāya\*; then follows a verse in adoration of Śiva. It then praised the \*Vāstavya\* Kāyasthas of the town of Takkārikā. Various persons of this family served under the Candella kings. One of these, Vāśe, was appointed \*Viśiṣa\* of Jayapura by king Trailokya-varman.² His younger brother Ānanda had a son named Rucira. Rucira had 3 sons, viz., Gopatī, Mahīpāla, and Subhaṭa of whom the last was a \*Saciva\* and the Superintendent of treasury (\*Kośādhikārādhipati\*) of king Bhojavarman. The immediate object of the inscription is to record the construction of a temple (\*devālaya\*) by Subhaṭa. 'The inscription closes rather abruptly and it neither contains the names of the composer, writer, and engraver, nor is it dated.'³ - [Previous: v2.c28.373](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c28.373) - [Next: v2.c28.375](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c28.375) - [Up: v2.c28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c28) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c28.374](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c28.374) · Pramāṇa
