EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
line 13; and the non-observance of the rules of Samdhi in dvahan Subhra-, line 4. The consonant b is throughout denoted by the sign for .
The inscription refers itself to the reign of a prince Jajalladeva, a ruler of Tummåņa, of the Chedi family; and it is dated, in figures only, in the year 919, which, taken as a year of the Chêdi ers, would correspond to A.D. 1167-1168. And it records the erection, at the town of Mallala, of a temple of the god Kedara (i.e., Siva) by the Brâhman Somarája, a younger son of Gangadhara, who in turn was the son of Prithvidhara. In the introductory portion we are told that the prince JAjalladeva was preceded by his father Pșithvideva, who again was the son of the prince Ratna. deva, the vanquisher of Choda and Ganga princes, of the lunar race (verses 4-7). And we are further informed that the Bråhman Pțithvidhara had been settled at the village Kumbhati in Madhyadesa; and that his son Gangadhara had come from there to the country Tummåņa, and had been honoured by the prince Ratnadeva with the gift of the village Kosambi. (Verses 9-13.)
Mallâla most probably is the modern Malhar (or Malar), where the inscription is stated to have been found. The other places I am unable to identify
