6. Critical Examination of the Transcript of Aitpoor 
or Atapura Inscription. 
By Panpir MoHANLAL VISHNULAL PaNDIA.

only of one of them, dated Samvatsara 1034=a.D. 977, at the 
end of his well-known work ‘‘ Annals and Antiquities of Raja- 
sthan.'’’ A copy of this translation is appended to this paper

himself has said thus :—

name and the transposition of others, they were in perfect 
accordance.’’
