8 N. N. Vasu-—Copperplate-grant of Vigva-ripa. [No. 1, 
a great-grandson of Paracara-déva-carman, grandson of Garbhé¢vara- 
déva-carman and son of Vanamali-déva-carman, in a proper manner and 
im accordance with the rules in force, stamped with the mark of 
Sadagiva in the month of Bhadra of the 14th year (L. 38-51), effected 
by the illustrious Kopivisnu, the chief officer for peace and war in 
Gauda. (Engraved) on the Ist Acvina of the year 14 (L. 60). 
Of the places mentioned in this inscription Pinjakasthi, the village 
granted by it, is evidently identical with Pinjari, a postal village in 
the Parganah Kotalipada, near the village of Madanapada, where 
the grant was found. 
The other important point for notice, is the distinctive titles of the 
four Séna kings mentioned in this inscription, and which have, I think, 
hitherto escaped the attention of the antiquarians; thus :—Maharaja 
Vijaya-séna-déva was styled as Vrsabha-cankara-gaudécvara, his son 
Maharaja JBallala-séna-déva as Nihcanka-cankara-gaudé¢vara, his 
son Maharaja Laksmana-séna-déva as Madana-Cankara-gaudégvara 
(L. 35), and his son Maharaja Vi¢vartipa-séna-déva as Vrsabhanka- 
cankara-gaudecvara. 
The contents of the grant published by Prinsep as that of 
Kécava-séna, agree closely with those of the grant under review, with 
a slight exception. The place where the name of the pseudo Kécava- 
séna occurs in the grant, is in such a state as to show that, originally there 
was some other name, in the place of which, that of Kécava-séna had been 
putin. This circumstance led Prinsep to believe that at the time of the 
copper-plate being engraved, Kégava-séna’s elder brother Madhava-séna 
suddenly expired, hente his name was erased for that of his brother’s. 
But in the face of the copper-plate grant under review, Prinsep’s 
inference can scarcely hold good. The reading, moreover, of Prinsep 
is not correct. The 10th verse of his published reading gives :— 
waald waa fegaytuaaaAat | 
farenafafaraattaaaag Siferaet zu: | 
(J. A. 8. B., Vol. VIL, Pt. 1, p. 44). 
The correct reading of it according to the facsimile published by 
him, of the original grant of the drd year, and as shewn in the newly 
discovered grant of the 14th year (9th verse), is as follows :— 
wawg WIAA feyasTTSAaT | 
frenafafamrsaticcnaq Ateaeut =: | 
It is evident from the above Cloka that both the plates have the 
name Vicva-rupa. In the 10th verse of Prinsep’s facsimile and in the
