THE ANTIQUITIES OP MUKHALINGAM. 95 
Abstract of Contents, (a) From the victorious city of 
Kalinga (1.1), he who has had the staias of the Ealiyuga 
washed away by bowing down before the feet of the god 
Gokarnasvamin (1. 2) and who has acquired supremacy 
over the whole Kalinga by the edge of his own sword (11. 
3 and 4), the founder of the pure Gdnga dynasty (1. 6), 
Maharaja Indravarman (1. 8) ; 
(h) Commands the kutumhins or house-holders of the 
village Siddhdrdhaka in the district of Vardhavartant (11. 
8 and 9) : 
(c) Be it known that^ inasmuch as we have separated a 
portion of the laud of the Rdjatatdka Kshetra (1. 10) and 
bestowed it free from all dues, during the time of udaga- 
yana (1. 13), on Durgasarman, a brahmachdrin of the Gotama 
gotra, he should be allowed to enjoy it freely, and none 
should molest him. 
(d) The boundaries of the land are given from line 15 to 
17. 
(e) The usual benedictive and imprecatory verses with a 
request that future rulers should recognise the grant (11. 17- 
22), 
(/) The grant was made in the 87th of the years (ex- 
pressed in words as well as in figures) of the increasing- 
successful reign, on the amdvdsyd of the month of Chaitra 
(1. 23). 
(g) Written (composed) under the command of the best 
king (rdjasimha) by Vinayachandra, son of Bhdnuchandra. 
Remarks, [a) The characters used in this plate are quite 
similar to those of plate No. CXLII. published in Vol. XIII. 
of the Ind. Antiq., page 1 19 ; and the text is word for word 
the same as that employed in the 'Parlakimedi grant ^ of In- 
dravarman {Ind. Antiq., Vol. XVI. p. 131) as far as the end 
of the tenth line, the only exception being that the word 
sukha is added between sarvartu and ramaniydt (I. 1) in
