1861.] Of Two Land-grants, issued hj King TLastin. 
Mavrika and Amvratasantaraka, in Yalaka; and, on the west, by 
Nagasari. To the south lay the allotment* of Balavarman. 
The three stanzas of the other grant are repeated in this ; but, 
before the last of them, we have another : ‘ He who resumes land, 
given by himself, or given by another, transformed to a dung-worm, 
along with his progenitors, receives retribution.’ 
Suryadatta is now become ‘ great fecial.’ He styles his grand- 
father ‘ financier,’ and no longer ‘ minister.’ Bhagraha, as seven 
years before, is the commissioner. His name here precedes his title, 
in the Sanskrit. 
Each of the sets of plates as I have said already, is accompanied 
by a rude signet ring. ‘ Of the fortunate Hastin,’ is inscribed on one 
of the rings ; and ‘ The fortunate King Hastin,’ on the other, f 
Saagor, December 22, 1860.

styled ufciY- 
+ and ^ftjtTTST. The latter should terminate in — or — 
The genitive is preferable. 
The following passage of an inscription was faultily printed at p. 18 of the

altogether free from inexactness. A re-translation is subjoined to the original.

‘Auspiciousness! Year of Samvat, 1115: Thursday, the 8th day of the dark 
fortnight of Phalguna. 
‘ May the son of S'ambhu — with exudation fallen on his cheeks ; of brilliant 
tusks ; whose head impedes all darkness ;• waving his ears ; adorned with a staff- 
like proboscis, hard as adamant ; potential in removing mental obstructions — 
protect you.’ 
The metre is the Malim. There is a prosodial blemish in dividing the word at 
the conclusion of the third verse.
