1836.] Facsimiles of various Ancient Inscriptions. 347 



Filling up the place of the 3rd and 4th p£das by a crowded three of his own 

 making entirely, except the eight last syllables of the last— though so much 

 more of them are clearly legible on the stones at their proper intervals— just as 

 I have placed them in the midst of the conjectural supplements. The B. P. has

XI. This last verse, which is Anustabh, like the nine first, is read by the B. 

 P. as I read it, except that the 2nd quarter is with him *jferrpg faf^jfT«f quite 

 unlike the stone, and that the 3rd he begins differently, viz. "q^TTlfgpT^frilTEI | 

 borrowing to this place what he had omitted in the 2nd. The stone gives clearly 

 throughout what I have written above. 



After the date and the word JPCT, t^ e B. P. has gratuitously expanded the 

 rest into a sloka, as follows : " /

I will add, that the inscription, as it is now legible, affords no counte- 

 nance to the B. P.'s supposition, that the discreet Sva'mi Ra'ja acted 

 under his elder brother Chandragana. He rather appears to have 

 been his successor. W. H. Mill. 



Barahdt Inscription. 



No. III. of the same plate, is the inscription from Barahdt in 

 Garhwal, presented, in duplicate, to the Society by the Commissioner, 

 Mr. Traill. This inscription also has been deciphered in part by the 

 Rev. Principal of Bishop's College, who has kindly communicated 

 its contents to me in the following letter : 



" I have the pleasure of sending one of the Kemdon inscriptions, 

 that of Barahdt in Garhwal. 



It opens with the invocation ^f% ^1: Svasti Sri, addressed apparent- 

 ly to a prince, and the first line contains the words ^Ef^j ^"^ ^*j tsj^f 

 ITff^iDT ^ttf ' whose and where is a palace which is on a lofty peak 

 and splendidly magnificent.' The second line of the inscription is 

 a turgid verse in the Sdrdula vikridita measure, as follows :
