1224 Inscriptions at Oowgu. [Dec. 



Ouseley,* which I have before me, I find the name of a Raja Luchmun 

 Deva, who, it would appear, fell in battle with some hill chief he had 

 gone to attack. The lines which are so much worn, appear to read — 

 " Son of Koomar Raja." The date of this inscription is 1297, or 199 

 years earlier, which allowing an average of 22 years to each reign 

 for the nine chiefs intervening, renders it not improbable that the two 

 persons are one and the same, for the titles Pala and Deva, are of the 

 same value ; but these are mere suppositions which I offer as hints to 

 other labourers in the same field, with which I must take leave of the 

 present subject.

* I avail myself of this opportunity of acknowledging Mr. Robert Neave's disclaimer 

 which appeared in the Calcutta Star, of having 1 taken any part in the defacing the Cufie 

 inscriptions in the Temple of Oomga ; it appears that the act was that of the Raja of Deo, 

 at the suggestion of other parties. — M. K.
