GRANT OF JAYACHCHANDRA; VIKRAMA-SAMVAT 1234.
137
Among the taxes, etc., to be paid to the donee, this inscription, in addition to the bhdgabhogakara and provanikara, in line 26 enumerates the yamalikúmbali, which is also mentioned below in the inscription H, line 29, and in I, line 25, and is called javalikámbali in J, line 25, and in K, line 24. I have not met with this technical term elsewhere, and am unable to explain it.
As regards the localities, the Kosamba pattalá evidently takes its name from KauśAmbi, with which has been identified the village of Kosam, on the left bank of the Yamuna, about 30 miles above Allahâbâd, which is said to have been a large and flourishing town, as late as a century ago. The village mentioned in the inscription I am unable to identify.

Mangalam mahå-brih 11 1.-Another Bongal Asiatic Society's Copper-Plate Grant of Jayachchandra.
The (Vikrama) year 1294. A translation of this inscription by Captain E. Fell, with remarks by H. H. Wilson, has been published in the Asiatic Researches, Vol. XV. pp. 447-469.
This inscription also is on a single plate, measuring about 201" by 17%", and inscribed on one side only. The edges of it were partly fashioned thicker and partly raised into rims; and though in a few places the surface of the plate is slightly worn, the writing in general is well
1 From the impression.
1 Up to this, the text of the insoription, excepting some differences of spelling, is the same as that of the inscription E. 3 These signs of panctuation are superfluous.
