(4) *Gopalpur stone-inscription.*—This inscription was discovered at the village of Gopalpur, about two miles to the south of Bheraghat, where it is said to have been brought from Karanbel. The stone which bears it is broken, and the record has been much damaged in consequence. It contains 21 lines, and opens with *Oṁ namo bhagavate Vāsudevāya*. The proper object is to record (lines 16-21) the erection of a temple of Viṣṇu by a member of the Kāśyapa family. By way of introduction it gives the genealogy of the Kalacuri kings of Tripurī from (Lakṣmī-Karṇa) down to Vijayasimha. The preserved portion does not contain any date.¹
