782 Ancient Land Grants in Assam, [No. 104. 



" This inscription states, that by order of Shwurgu Diva Pramatta Singha, the king of 

 Assam (his viceroy or Navab) Taruna Duvara Bara Phukkan, built the Doljatra 

 mandap of Kamakhya in Shakabon 1672. Equivalent to 1751 a. d." 



"This inscription (near Ganesha) informs us that by order of Pramatta Singha, the 

 Raja of Assam, (his viceroy or Navab) Taruna Duvara Bara Phukkan, did dig up the 

 Durga Sarobara (or tank of the goddess Durga) in Shakabon 1666. Equivalent to 

 1747, A. D. 



The similarity of the name (No. 1.) ShuMa, to that of ChuTcra Dwaja 

 (noted in Useful Tables as Raja of Assam in 1621) would lead me to con- 

 clude that the persons are identical, especially as the descent of the late 

 Assamese reigning family from that of Cooch Behar is well known, were it 

 not that Mr. Prinsep's date, attested by dates on coins, and that of the 

 inscription, differ by fifty-five years.
