(1) *Veraval stone-inscription of Bhāva-Bṛhaspati.*—Found lying loose in the Fauzdar's office at the sea-port of Veraval, in Junagarh state. It contains 45 lines, many of which are damaged and extremely fragmentary. It opens with verses in praise of Śiva and Sarasvatī; then follow an account of Gaṇḍa-Bhāva-Bṛhaspati and his family and the names of the Caulukya princes from Siddhaprāja to Bhīma II. The proper object of the inscription, which is undated, seems to be to record that Bhīma II built a temple called Meghanāda at Somanātha.¹
