Contains 15 lines of corrupt Sanskrit, opening with date (V.) S. 1219 (*c.* 1162 A.D.). It mentions the *Mahārāja-putra* Gajasimha in connection with the city of Māṇḍavyapura (mod. Mandor). It records that his general the *Saulumkī* Jasadhavala, son of Dāmodara, granted to the god Vāsudeva one *dramma* from the income of his generalship of Jhamara (mod. Jhamvara).
