EPIGRAPHIA INDICA. This main part of the inscription closes with the date, the (Vikrama) year 1161 = A. D. 1104-5. The additional line 41 (vv. 57 and 58) appeals to the reader to study carefully and with impartiality and to appreciate properly the poem, here set before
him.
The history of the earlier Paramaras of Mâlava, down to Udayaditya, has been fully treated of by Professor Bühler, ante, vol. I, pp. 223-233. The names of the later rulers of the same dynasty I have given from their copper-plate grants in Indian Antiquary, vol. XIX, pp. 346-347. All these later records make Naravarman the immediate successor of Udayaditya, and so does the inscription from Madhukargadh, the substance of which is given in the Transactions Roy. A8, Soc., vol. I, p. 226. But from the present inscription it is clear that Udayaditya was succeeded by his son Lakshmadeva, and he by his brother Naravarman; and the dates available show that Lakshmadeva's reign falls between the years A. D. 1080 and 1104.
