Three Sanskrit Inscriptions.

Beginning with Yuvaraja, father of Kokalla, and ending with 
Ajayasinha, heir-apparent, the line of kings recorded in the inscrip- 
of last January. Gopalpur is a small village on the Nerbudda, about ten miles 
from Jubulpore. Some twenty or thirty years ago, as I was informed, in an at¬ 
tempt made to remove the tablet, it was broken. 
The space occupied by writing,—twenty lines and two-fifths,—measures about 
a yard and a half by two feet. The inscription is entirely in verse, and it has 
no date. Its left-hand portion, the smaller, contains few words any longer 
decipherable ; and the right-hand portion is legible only here and there. Still, 
the fragments which I here annex leave no doubt as to its origin.

Here we have the names of Arjuna the thousand armed, of Kalaclmri, Kama, 
Yas'ahkarna, Jayasinba, Gosala, and Vijayasinha; and these names indicate, 
that the inscription is Chedian, and of nearly the same time with that of the 
inscription printed at large in the coming pages. Whose concubine madam 
Jogalk was, does not appear. Nor is it known who Harigana and Malhana were. 
Equally in the dark are we as to the bigamous husband of Mahadevi and of 
another lady whose name has been oblir-erated. Finally, a part, at least, of this 
memorial was composed by one Somaraja. 
Malhana, I think, is a name that occurs in the Rajatarangini. But J write 
in the wilderness, with few books about me. For Malhana of Kanauj, see 
Dr. Aufrecht’s account of the Vis'w a-pr ah asa in Cat. Cod. Manuscript. /Sans¬ 
crit. &c., p. 187. 
Last Christinas I was encamped at Bilahari,—in the Jubulpore district,— 
which place the common fame of the neighbourhood connects with Raja Karna. 
It must once have been a town of some importance. I found there one complete 
inscription, in the character of twelve or fifteen hundred years ago, but well nigli 
completely obliterated by time and weather j and two fragments of a second
