by him while be was staying at bis camp in Vikramapura (11. 27 ff,), and 
consisted of a portion of a field in Matbarandiya {Matharandiya-khanda- 
ksetra ; 1. 38) wbicb is described as lying in Vyagliratati, a place or 
district belonging to tbe hhukti of Paundravarddhana (11. 37 ff.). Tbis 
piece of land was given to a Pandit, Baghudevagarmman by name, tbe 
son of Devaddsadevagarmman and grandson of Carjkaradevagarmman, and 
great-grandson of Vipraddsadevagarmman, wbo belonged to tbe Kaugika- 
gotra^ and studied tbe Kdnva-gdkhd of tbe Yajurveda (11. 70 
Tbe grant was made on tbe 9tb day of Bhadra, in tbe 3rd year of 
Laksmanasena’s reign (1. 56). Tbis date taking tbe year 1119 A.D., 
tbe epoch of the Laksmanasena Era, as tbe beginning of bis reign, cor- 
responds to A.D. 1121-22. Tbe Minister for piece and war, Ndrdyana- 
datta^ acted as dutaka (11. 54-55). 
Historically we gather no new information from tbis inscription. 
I am unable to identify tbe exact position of tbe localities mentioned in 
tbe grant.
