Three Sanskrit Inscriptions. 
[No. 2, 
The present inscription is, by one year, the latest, as yet brought 
to light, published by the Haihaya rulers in Central India. We 
learn, from it, that the capital of those potentates, from the very 
first, was Tripuri; and that their kingdom, so long as they are 
known to have possessed it, was called Chedi. We find it set forth, 
that, “ In that KalacJmri family was a monarch, eminent among the 
just, His Majesty Yuvaraja,—a young lion in destroying odour¬ 
bearing elephants, i. e. f pride-blind kings,—who sanctified Tripuri, 
resembling the city of Purandara.”* 
As I have elsewhere made out, the era to which the date of the 
inscription is to be referred is a point still awaiting solution.f

Then come, unnamed, the madia pratihara, the dushta-sadkya-charadhyaksha , 
the bhdnddgdrika, the pravdtioa-vdra, and the as'wa-sadhanaka. 
Ot the duties of several of these officers nothing is known with certainty. 
The title before the last, with, perhaps, the last itself, is, probably, represented 
amiss. The das'a-mulika is called, near the end of the inscription das'a-nmlin. 
* So runs the seventh couplet. See the note on it, and two notes further on.
