Read the following letter from Capt. Righy, Bengal Engineers. 



To the Secretary of the Asiatic Society, Calcutta. 



Cuttack, 2Gth January, 1847. 

 Sir, — I have the pleasure to enclose copy of an inscription from a stone ex- 

 humed, a few days since, from the ruins of the stone revetment against the 

 Kajoorey ruin, a work to which the city of Cuttack owes its continuance, for a pe- 

 riod probably but little short of that of its existence. 



The work was so seriously damaged during the last rainy season, as to render 

 necessary the preparation of an estimate for a new line of works, giving temporary 

 repairs merely to the old one ; and it was in clearing away the ruins for the latter 

 purpose that the stone came to light. From its position when discovered, it would 

 appear to have been concealed, by a facing of stone given subsequently to the 

 work in which it had been fixed as a record. 



I may add that the letters on the stone (a basalt) are as sharply defined as if cut 

 yesterday. 



I shall be greatly obliged by your favoring me with a translation of the inscrip- 

 tion. 



I remain, Sir, 



Your obedient Servant, 



H. Righy, Capt. Engineers.
