I860.] Two Letters on Indian Inscriptions. 19 



Another family is afterwards spoken of. There was a Brahman 

 named Bhima, of the S'andilya gotra and Udgara aniuaya. He had 

 a brother Vasudeva and a sister Lakshmi. Her one Vamana seems 

 to have married : but I have failed to ascertain who he was, as like- 

 wise the purport of all that ensues of the inscription. 



The year 1115 of the Samvat era corresponds to A. D. 1058. 



To the Secretary, Astatic Society of Bengal. 



Sir, — I have the honor to present to our Society, on behalf of 

 Major B. R. W. Ellis, a copper-plate land-grant, dated in the year 

 of Vikramaditya answering to A. D. 1097. The donor informs me 

 that this record was " discovered, six years ago, by the Jdgirddr of 

 Koti, in. removing some ruins in a fort, Baipur, near Sohawal, an an- 

 cient city four Icos east from Nagod." 



This grant is the first of the two which I have translated in our Jour- 

 nal for last year, (Vol. XXVII. pp. 217, 250). On recent reference to 

 the original, I find that, at p. 221, 1. 6 ah infra, I should have read 

 ^fT^J ^ITT^I- in place of ^^TtfJTftfrrsi-. But the change of sense en- 

 tailed by this correction is only very immaterial. In my rendering of a 

 passage a little higher up the same page, perhaps it would have been 

 preferable to restrict ^TCTTWTq*?f?T to "WW^flT ^o & c ., %T*Rf«T to 

 fsrfwo &c, and ^Tf^f«T to TTSWfft* &c. 



Calcutta, Maundy Thursday, 1859.
