We are then told that Ālhaṇa and Kelhaṇa were pleased to give to the *Rājaputra* Kīrtipāla 12 villages, appertaining to Naddūlāi (mod. Nadlai in Godwar). In (V.) S. 1218 (A.D. 1160), after bathing at Naddūla and worshipping the Sun and Maheśvara, Kīrtipāla granted a yearly sum of two *drammas* from each of his 12 villages to the Jina Mahāvīra at Naddūlāi.¹
