(4) *Abu stone-inscription*.—In a monastery adjoining a temple of Acaleśvara (Śiva) near Achalgarh on Mt. Abu. It contains 48 lines. The inscription was composed by the same as in No. 2 above. It is dated in the reign of Samarasimha or Samara of Medapāṭa in (V.) S. 1342 (*c.* 1285 A. D.), and records that he repaired a *maṭha* on Mt. Arbuda (Abu) at the request of the Pāśupata ascetic Bhāvaśankara. Its main value is that it supplies the genealogy of the family from Bappa, who first gained royalty through the favour of Hāritarāśi, practising penance at the town of Nāgahrada.¹
