1860.] Two Letters on Lidian Inscriptions. 19 



Another family is afterwards spoken of. There was a Brahmán 

 named Bhíma, of the S'ándilya gotra and Udgara anwaya. He liad 

 a brother Vásudeva and a sister Lakshmí. Her one Vámana seems 

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

 wise tbe purporb of all tbat ensues of the inscription. 



The year 1115 of tbe Samvat era corresponda to A. D. 1058. 



To the Secretary, Asiatic Socíety of Bengal. 



Snt, — I bave the honor to presen t to our Society, on bebalf of 

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

 of Vikramáditya answering t3 A. D. 1097. The donor informs me 

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

 Kotí, in removing sorae ruins in a fort, Raipur, near Soháwal, an an- 

 cient city four Icos east from Nágod." 



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

 nal forlastyear, (Vol. XXVII. pp. 217, 250). On recent reference to 

 tbe original, I find that, at p. 221, 1. 6 ab infra, I should bave read 

 ^"JT^ií ^TTT^T- in place of ^H^ToíTfarTSj-. 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 WTWTq^fsí to W^cíft ^» & c ., %T^f?r to 

 faíW» &c, and ^TÍ^ffT to TT*TCT^V &c.
