It contains 28 lines, and is much damaged. It opens with \*Om namaḥ Sarvajñāya\* and 4 verses invoking Śiva (Śarva, Mṛḍa, and Samiddheśvara) and Sarasvatī, and then eulogises the family of the Caulukyas. In that family was born Mūlarāja. After many other kings of this line came Siddharāja, who was succeeded by Kumārapāladeva. The proper object of the inscription is to record that in the course of his campaigns against the rulers of Śākambharī he came to the Citrakūṭa mountain, and having worshipped the god Samiddheśvara and his consort granted a village (name lost) and made some donations to his temple. The \*praśasti\* was written by the chief of the Digambaras Rāmakīrti. The date (V.) \*Saṁvat\* 1207 (\*c.\* 1150 A.D.) comes at the end.³ - [Previous: v2.c31.315](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31.315) - [Next: v2.c31.317](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31.317) - [Up: v2.c31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31.316](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31.316) · Pramāṇa
