The inscription consists of 49 lines written on two copper plates which were originally held together by a ring. The seal, which was found detached from the plates, bears in relief in its upper part, the seated figure of the goddess \*Gaja-Lakṣmī\*. At the bottom is a bull couchant. Across the centre is engraved—\*Śrīmat Karṇadevaḥ\*. The inscription opens with \*Oṁ Brahmaṇe namaḥ\* and a verse in praise of Śiva. Then in 30 verses the genealogy of the dynasty is traced from the moon and the 'thousand-armed Haihaya emperor.' The historical part of the genealogy begins with Lakṣmaṇarāja, and ends with Karṇa. In the prose part we are told that \*Pb.-M.-P.\* Vāmadeva-\*pādānudhyāta\*-\*Pb.-M.-P.\*-\*Parama-māheśvara-Trikaliṅgādhipati\*-\*nija-bhujopārjit-Aśvapati-Gajapati-Narapati-rāja-trayādhipati\* Karṇadeva, while (residing) at the \*Jaya-skandhāvāra\* situated in Karṇatīrtha, after having bathed in the Gaṅgā and the holy Arghatīrtha and worshipped the divine lord Śiva, granted the village of Candapahā in the Kośamba-\*pattalā\* to the \*paṇḍita\* Śānti Śarman. It is dated in the 7th year of the administration of Karṇa (\*Śrīmat-Karṇa-prakāśe Vyavaharaṇe\*),¹ 'on the full-moon \*tithi\* coupled with a Thursday, of the month of Kārttika.' (This date perfectly agrees with Thursday, 5th November, A.D. 1047.) It was written by the \*Karaṇika\* Sarvānanda, and engraved by Vidyānanda. It ends with \*maṅgalaṁ-mahāśrī\*.² - [Previous: v2.c29.s2.166](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c29.s2.166) - [Next: v2.c29.s2.168](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c29.s2.168) - [Up: v2.c29.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c29.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c29.s2.167](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c29.s2.167) · Pramāṇa
