(2) *Sevadi stone-inscription (ii).*—Incised on the lintel of another cell in the front corridor of the temple of Māhavīra at Sevadi. It contains 8 lines of writing, opening with the invocation of the Jain Tīrthaṅkara Sāntinātha. It then traces the genealogy of Kaṭukarāja from the Cāhamāna Aṇahila through Jinda and Aśvarāja, his son and grandson, and records that Kaṭukarāja made an annual grant of 8 *drammas* on the *Śivarātri* day in (V.)S. 1172 (*c.* 1115 A.D.), to the Jain Thallaka, belonging to the Shanderaka⁶-*gaccha*, for the worship of Sāntinātha in the *Khaṭṭaka* (niche) of *Balādhipa* Yaśodeva, the grandfather of the donee. Sāntinātha was apparently established in the temple of Vīranātha (Mahāvīra), which, we are told, was situated in the *bhukti*¹ of Kaṭukarāja.²
