⁴ Noticed in *ASI, WC*, 1906, p. 56. Edited by B. N. Shastri, *Journal and PASB*, Vol. X, pp. 241 ff., and Plate XXII. The *Udayapur Praśasti* of the Paramāras of Malwa, which is incised on a stone slab, ‘ at present lying in the courtyard of the great temple at Udayapur (Gwalior) may also belong to this prince. The record opens with verses in praise of Śiva, Pārvati, and Gaṇeśa, and may have recorded the erection of a Śaiva temple by Udayāditya. But unfortunately it is fragmentary; and though the last name in the preserved portion is that of Udayāditya we cannot be sure that the lost portion did not contain the name of one of his immediate successors. The record was first noticed by Dr. Hall in *JASB*, Vol. XXXI, p. 114, note, and was edited with a valuable introduction by Bühler in *EI*, Vol. I, pp. 222-38. It is one of the most important records for Paramāra history.
