400 SANSCRIT INSCRIPTIONS 



differing in the name of the villages. One of them also has Sumbut, !230 ; 

 two years posterior to that of which this is a transcript. 



The small plate is a grant of the village of Kavanda-gram in the Pergun- 

 nah of (or dependent on) Ambulila-pattala, to a Brahmana named Vasish* 

 tha Sarman. It bears date Sumbut, 1177, (or A. D. 1120.) The village 

 was bestowed by Sri Govinda Chandra, a king of Kanoj ; he was father of 

 Vijaya Chandra and grand-father of Jaya Chandra by whom the grant of 

 land dated A. D. 1J77, was made. 



The exordia and contents of the whole of the plates are exactly similar, 

 excepting the dates, names of villages, donor and donee's names. 



Historical Remarks on the preceding- Inscriptions by the Se- 

 cretary. 



The Inscriptions now presented to the Society, and other authorities, to 

 be met with for the most part in the preceding volumes of the Researches, 

 enable us to form a tolerably satisfactory idea of the series of princes who 

 reigned at Kanoj and Dehli, in the period that intervened between the first 

 aggressions of the Musselmans and the final subversion of the native states 

 in the upper parts of Hindustan. 



The present inscriptions relate to the dynasty of Kanoj, which terminat- 

 ed with Jaya Chandra, the last of the series, in 1 192. The names may be 

 thus recapitulated, assigning to them the dates which we may venture safe- 

 ly enough to compute from those of Govinda Chandra and Jaya Chandra, 

 as specified in their grants, and that of Vijaya Chandra in another place, 

 (A. R. ix. 442.)
