" The room of THra (the sage) Galunatha." 



The only doubtful word in this record is the first. It looks very like 

 an adjective for the name ; if so in ordinary Hindi, it can mean quiet, 

 peaceful, not given to much motion ; but it is a very unlikely one to be used 

 in such a place. In Pali thera means a sage, an expounder, a teacher, and I 

 am disposed to accept it here in that sense. It may, however, be a part of 

 the name.

" Salutation to Ganes'a. During the northern declension (of the sun), 

 in the year -of the sea, (4), the arrow, (5), the flavours, (6), and the moon 

 (1), Samvat 1654, (The date is given on the top of the line as shown in 

 the transcript) on Monday, the 6th of the waxing moon in the month of 

 Chaitra, the palace of the auspicious Mana, the great lord of the earth, on 

 the hill of Eohitasva, the noblest of the race of hills, was rejDaired, during 

 the government of S'ridhara, the purohita of the auspicious great king of 

 kings (MaMrdjddhirdja the great king, Maharaja S'ri Mansin. The work 

 was done by Madabala Bhatta. Eemember this." 



The only doubtful letter is the first of the name of the architect ; it is 

 very like a bh, but as Bhadabala makes an unmeaning word, I prefer to take 

 it for an m. The text is in Sanskrit, but the last sentence is in corrupt 

 Hindi. I take it to be equivalent to Sniaran raMio. 



No. 6 is a duplicate of the last.
