Bhanldasota. The inscription is fragmentary as the stone h 

 broken just under the third line. It reads as follows : 



1. *faor \i°$ cr?qfnr-

A short distance from the same temple, near the wall 

 enclosure, there stands a Mrtistambha formed of a plain block 

 of red sand-stone, without any mouldings of any kind. It 

 bears an inscription dated Samvat 1681, the twelfth day of the 

 bright fortnight of Magha(l). and recording that on that day. 

 under the victorious reign of maharaja Sura Singha, the conse- 

 cration took place of a chattri (?) made by the sutradhara Dedo 

 Nibavata(l). The kirtistambha has been evidently removed 

 from its original place, for there is no chattri near it to-day. 

 The inscription consists of 15 lines, covering a space of 12" 

 high by 6 J* broad :—
