The record opens with two verses invoking the moon on the forehead of Śambhu (Śiva) and Pārvatī, and then traces the genealogy of the family from 'the hero Cāhamāna, a source of great joy to the Ṛṣi Vatsa' to Cāciga. It is a *praśasti* of Cāciga composed by the Jain Sūri Jayamaṅgala, and is dated in (V.) S. 1319 (A. D. 1262). Cāciga is stated to have remitted certain taxes at Śrīmāla, granted funds at Rāmasainya for the worship of the god Vigrahāditya, and visited the Sugandhādri, where he established a *maṇḍapa* at the temple of the goddess Cāmuṇḍā, known by the name of Aghaṭeśvarī.⁴
