dha, Wednesday, and refers to the reign of mahdrdja Prithiva 

 Deya and the mandalesvara rand Katia. Then it records some 

 privilege granted by the latter — who is further described as a 

 Pa vara of the Kaundinyasagotra and a son of Palhana — to the 

 temple (?) of Lokesvara at P r ijaya (?) pura , in the territory of 

 Vikramapura. The text of the record proper ends 1. 15, the 

 last lines containing only bare names, apparently of witnesses. 

 As already explained above, Prithiva Deva seems to be the same 

 as Prithl Raja, the Cahamana king of Ajmer, and rand Katia, 

 one of his feudatories. It also appears that the latter was 

 ruling over Vikramapura (Bikampur), and that the old name 

 of the place where the temple stands, was Vijayapura (?), and 

 it was included in the territory of Vikramapura. It is, how- 

 ever, to be remarked that there is some doubt in the reading 

 of the word Vijayapura, the text actually having Vtajayapura.

5 As the Sanskrit in the present as well as the following inscriptions 

 is very corrupt, and in most cases so mixed with the Bhasa that it is 

 impossible to make it agree with any grammatical standard, it has 

 seemed desirable to give the text as it stands, and refrain from burden- 

 some notes and amendments.
