136 M. M. Chakravarti —Two copper-plate [No. 2, 
The second passage worth noticing is Rajno yasya Gayasadina 
.to ...sandliydnuragachalat (A. V. 6-8). 
Translation:—“The king’s (Bhanudeva II’s) war with Grhayasu-d-din 
beginning, the blood flowing from the necks of the many big chiefs 
wounded by his valour filled the world. The blood stream gushing up 
profusely from the then wounded breasts of the (enemy’s) elephants was 
such that still shines in the sky in the disguise of sunset glow.” 
Grliayasu-d-din is evidently a Muhammadan name.—The war spoken 
of is thus probably the incursion of Ulagh Khan, in 1323, A. D., after 
his capture of Warangal. Ziyau-d-din Barni in his Tarikh Firozshahi 
thus speaks : — 
“ The prince (Ulagh Khan) then marched towards Jajnagar and 
there took 40 elephants, with which he returned to Tilagg.” 1 
Jajnagar was the name by which Orissa was known to the early 
Muhammadan historians. 
Lastly, the grant portions (4) in both the inscriptions are, curiously 
enough, mostly in Uriya. This is the earliest authentic writing in 
which Uriya words have been found. The language shows that in words 
and syntax the old Uriya of five hundred years ago, was nearly the same 
as now. 
The inscriptions are too long, and the descriptions too verbose and 
hyperbolical to re-pay the labor of an English translation. The material 
portions have been noticed in this sketch.
