The next inscription, hitherto unpublished, is, like the first, en¬ 
graved on copper. It has been transcribed from the original plates, 
which belong to the Asiatic Society of Bengal. The stanzas, nine 
in number, introducing the grant proper, have already appeared in 
print, and need not be repeated.! Nor are the verses that follow 
the prose of sufficient interest, on the score of novelty, to deserve 
copying.J

* Not as was formerly misread. But the plate wants the final conso¬ 
nant. And the name of the engraver is Lena, not Lema. 
Confusion of sibilants has, in several instances, unspecified, been redressed 
in the transcript now printed. 
On the seal attached to the two plates are the words 
Above is a figure of Lakshrm, supported on each side by an elephant sprinkling 
her with water from its proboscis. Underneath is Nandi.

j Any one familiar with the poetical excrescences of Hindu land grants will 
recognize them by their opening words : | fUf' I I 
W I *ITWT I I | ^Trrrof^wf^ I 
| All but the last three of these stanzas will be seen at the page of this 
Journal following the last just referred to. 
Thus ends the inscription, much more abruptly than is commonly the case 
with such writings. 
On the seal, the ring of which holds together the two plates, are the words 
Above them is an effigy of Garuda, with folded hands: beneath is a conch- 
shell.
