,1861.] A Donative Inscription of the Tenth Century. 
VII. Subliatavarman, son of V.* 
VIII. Arjuna, son of S. A. D. 1210 — 1215. 
Devapala, nominally a Raja, if not really one, was reigning at 
Dhara in A. 1). 1353. His ancestors’ names have not transpired.! - 
Vakpafciraja, mentioned iii tlie following inscription, was cousin 
german to Bhoja of Dhara. Their life-times most probably osculat- 
ed. The former, who dwelt at Ujjayim, appears as an independent 
potentate ; and there is no cause for thinking that he was not so. J 
Insceiption.

ignorance, on the part of the poetaster, for Jayavarman, or else a liberty such as 
an unskillul practitioner might not scruple at, if in metrical distress : for the two 
names are hardly interchangeable. Yet Professor Lassen here encounters no 
difficulty. 
See this Journal, for 1836, pp. 377 etc. ; and for 1838, pp. 736 otc. : also Colc- 
brooke’s Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. II., pp. 297 etc. 
The above is in supersession of a note in the Journal of the American Oriental 
Society, Vol. VII., pp. 35 — 37. Since writing that note, I have been able 
to consult the plates containing Haris'chandra’s grant, the date of which is A. V. 
1236, or A. D. 1179. 
* As I have remarked elsewhere, between Vindhyavarman and Subhata- 
varman a King “ Amushyayana” is interposed by Mr. Wilkinson, who mistakes 
an epithet for a proper name. This and several other misinterpretations are 
copied, without correction, by Mr. A. K. Eorbes, in his Rds-muld, Vol. I., pp. 
114, 208. 
A'mushyayana is the adjective of amushyayana, ‘ son of somebody,’ an hidal- 
go, a eupatrid. 
f See my paper on an inscription where he is spoken of, in this Journal, for 
1859, pp. 1—8. 
I Professor Lassen is of a different opinion. Indische Alterthumslcunde, Vol. 
III., pp. 841, 842.
