(2) *Nadol grant (i).*—Found at Nadol. It contains 38 lines, opening with *Oṁ namaḥ Sarvajñāya* and a verse addressed to Mahāvīra. It then records the genealogy of the Cāhamānas of Naddūla from Lakṣmaṇa to Ālhaṇadeva, omitting Ratnapāla and Rāyapāla. In the formal part it registers that *Mahārāja* Ālhaṇadeva of Naddūla in (V.) *Saṁ.* 1218 (*c.* 1161 A.D.), after worshipping the sun and Īśāna and making gifts to Brāhmans and *gurus*, granted to the (Jain) temple of Mahāvīra in the Saṇḍeraka-gaccha at the holy place (*Mahāsthāna*) of Naddūla a monthly sum of 5 *drammas* to be paid from the custom-house (*Śulka-maṇḍapikā*) in the Naddūla-*talapada*. The *Dūtaka* of the grant was the *Mahāmātya* Lakṣmīdhara of the Prāgvāṭa race. It was composed and written by Śrīdhara, and ends with the sign-manual.²
