Dr. Hoernle —Two Copper-[date Grants of Ratnapdla. [No. 1, 
or clauses, may be compared, the references being to Tukaram Javaji’s 
Bombay edition of 1892 (Nirnaya Sagara Press). 
(1) . Bargaon Plate, line 31, Gurjjar-ddhirdja-prajvdrena, etc. Compare 
Harsa Carita, p. 132, Huna-liarina-kesari Sindhu-raja jvaro 
Gurjara-prajdgaro Gdndhdr-adhipa - gandha - dvipa - kuta - pakalo 
Lata-patavu-pataccard Mdlava-laksmi-lata-paraguh. 
(2) . Bargaon Plate, line 43, Vdsav-avasa-sparddhini . Compare Harsa 
Carita, p. 104, Vasav-dvasa iva (adliivdsah). 
(3) . Bargaon Plate, line 48, Arjjnno yagasi Bhzmasend yiidhi (or 
Sualkuci Plate, 1. 24, Bhismd dhanusi), &c. Compare Harsa 
Carita, p. 110, Arjuno yagasi Bhlsrnb dhanusi , etc. 
Finally, I may add three corrections in the Gauhati grant. The 
blundered phrase bhiimya-paksa-sta in II b 6 should be bhumy-apakrsta , 
as in the Bargaon grant 1.53; it means the ‘inferior or non-arable 
land.’ Also vydvohdrika in II b 7 means ‘officer’: tlie whole passage 
in which it occurs should be translated as in the Bargaon grant. Again 
the phrase viahisi-jdtika should be read, as in the Sualkuci grant, mahis- 
dj-dvika ‘ buffalos, goats and sheep.’
