(2) *Chitor stone-inscription* (i).—54 lines, incised on a large stone near the burning-ground in the neighbourhood of the *Kīrti-stambha* of Kumbha. It contains only the first portion of the inscription; the second is lost. The opening verses invoke (Śiva) Candracūḍa and Gaṇeśa. It then eulogises the *Guhila-vaṁśa* of Medapāṭa and its capital Nāgahrada. Next it traces the genealogy of the family from Bappa, who won Medapāṭa through the favour of Haritarāśi to Naravāhana. It was composed by Veda Śarman. Its date (V.)S. 1331 (*c.* 1274 A.D.), shows that it must belong to the reign of Samarasimha.²
