(1-30) *Abu stone-inscriptions.*—These 30 short inscriptions are engraved in the temple of Neminātha⁵ at Abu. They are all incised either on the lintels of the doorway of the main temple or that of the cell-shrines in the corridor of the temple recording the erection of these shrines or of images of Tīrthaṅkaras. The records all belong to Tejaḥpāla, and contain dates from 1287 to 1297 V.S. They are of interest as showing that the minister in the years following V.S. 1287, when the temple was erected, did not cease to enlarge and embellish the sanctuary which he had erected.¹
