124 Three Sanskrit Inscriptions. [No. 2, 



~ s * 6\ C\ 



We are here told, that, in A. V. 1177, corresponding to A. ~D. 

 ] 120, a transfer of landed interest was made in presence of King 

 Govinda Chandra, of Kanauj, and his court. The property that 

 exchanged hands, the village of Karanda and the fallaf of Karanda, 

 in the pattella of Antarala, passed from the possession of Bhattaraka 

 Kudras'iva, a royal chaplain, into that of the Thakkura Vasishtha. 



Rudras'iva, it is stated, was invested with his estate hy Raja Yas'ah- 

 karna.J It can scarcely be questioned, that this was the ruler of 

 Checli. And how could the king of Kanauj have had authority, save 

 as the result of conquest, over soil which was once under his control ? 



* Here is a blunder of the first magnitude. Other mistakes, not quite so 

 glaring, have been left as they were found ; while a few, of a trifling character, 

 have been silently amended. 



t This term is a stranger to all the dictionaries. 



X Yas'ahkama was son of Karna, whose grandfather Kokalla fought with 

 Bhoja during the first half of the tenth century. In A. D. 1042, lilioja was 

 Btill on the throne. We know not how soon he may not have ascended it after 

 A. D. 993, when Munja, or Vfikpati, his predecessor, was as yet in power. 



A Rudras'atnbhu is named in one of the Chedian inscriptions.
