(1) *Khairha grant*—This was found in a large stone chest at Khairha (N. Lat. 23° 12′, Long. 81° 30′ E), a village in the Rewah state about 11 miles S. E. of Sohagpur, the headquarters of a *tahsil* of the same name. The inscription consists of 44 lines, and is incised on two plates. The bell-shaped seal which is attached with a heavy ring has the usual figure of *Gaja-lakṣmī*, and the bull, and between them the legend *Śrīmad-Yaśaḥ-Karṇadevaḥ*. It opens with *Om namo Brahmaṇe*, and then gives the usual genealogy of the Kalacuris from the mythical Viṣṇu down to Yaśaḥ-Karṇa. In the prose part of the inscription we are told that *Pb.-M.-P.-Vāmadeva-pādānudhyāta-Pb.-M.-P.-Parama-māheśvara-Trikaliṅgādhipati-nija-bhujopārjit-Aśvapati-Gajapati-Narapati-rāja-trayādhipati* Yaśaḥ-Karṇadeva granted the village of Deulā-pamcela in the Devagrāma-*pattalā* to a Brāhmaṇ named Gaṅgādhara Śarman. The inscription is dated in (K.) Saṁvat 828 (1073 A.D). It was written by *Dharmalekhin* Vacchūka.⁵
