On the site of the old talava, which nowadays is separated 

 from the modern talava by the metalled road leading to Gajanera 

 and Kodamadesara, there is a chattri of the usual quadrangular 

 style, without any inscription, and a kirtistambha near by. 

 The kirtistambha consists of a plain block of red sand-stone, 

 and has no mouldings of any kind. The inscription is on the 

 eastern face of the stone, and consists of 7 lines covering a 

 space of 8' high by 10|" broad. The characters are much 

 effaced, especially in the centre, and in places illegible. The 

 object of the inscription is to record that the talava was caused 



to be dug by i, the son of Rama, and inaugurated the 



second (?) day of the dark fortnight of Vaisakha of the year 

 Samvat 1659 :—

1 The entire name is illegible, but probably was either Naraina or 

 Paficama, as the two terminal syllables °ina can be still read distinctly-
