(1) *Bijolia*⁷ *rock-inscription.*—Found in the village of Bijolia in Mewar about 100 miles from the capital (Udaipur). It appears to be a Jain record, and opens with salutations to Pārśvanātha and other Jain divinities. Vs. 10 to 26 are devoted to the Cāhamāna genealogy which is traced from Sāmanta to Someśvara. V. 27 seems to state that the last ruler had the *biruda Pratāpa-Laṅkeśvara*. V. 28 states that he gave the village of Rewna to the 'self-existent Pārśvanātha.' Vs. 29-30 apparently give the genealogy of the person who built a temple to house the deity. It is dated towards the end in (V.) *Saṁvat* 1226 (A D. 1170).¹
