occurs also in the PAli plate of Govindachandra referred to by me above, Vol. V. p. 114, note 4, in the passage Saruvara- (or, more probably, Saruvara I) Onavala-pathaké Sirasi-pattalâyán || Pále-gråma-. Of the localities mentioned in this passage, Pali is the village Palee' in Indian Atlas, sheet No. 102, long. 83° 25', lat. 26° 30'; Sirasi is Sirsi,' ibid. sheet No. 87, S.E., long. 83° 9', lat. 26° 32'; and Opavala survives in Unaula, (Unoula, Unaola, Anaola, Aonla), a name of one of the parganas in the western part of the Gorakhpur district. As the Onavala pathaka (with Sirasi and Pali included in it) according to the Pali plate formed part of Saruvara, this would indicate in a general way where the localities mentioned in the present inscription should be looked for ; but I have searched for them in vain on the maps at my disposal.

In the Indian Atlas, on the margin of sheet No. 87, S. E., we hava. Unauls,' in Archæol. Survey of India, Vol. XXII. p. 66, Unsola' and Ansola,' and in the Imperial Gazetteer, 2nd ed., Vol. V. p. 166, Aonla.' Accord ing to Thornton's Gazetteer, Unoula' is the principal place of the pargans of the same name in the Gorakhpur district); it is described as a small town, 13 miles south of Gorakhpur, in lat. 26° 32' and long. 83° 21'. If this is correct, it must be the 'Bubhnowlee of the Indian Atlas, sheet No. 102, 21 miles north-west of Palee.' The same sheet, 10 miles south by west from Palee,' contains the name 'Oonowlee.' • From impressions supplied by the Curator of the Provincial Museum, Lucknow.
* Up to this, the text is practically identical with the text of the Kamauli plate of Govindachandra, published above, Vol. IV. p. 100 f. • This sign of punctuation is superfluous.
Read -sambaddha.. . Read pattaldydrh; the second yd most probably is struck out already in the original. 1 The two aksharas kari were originally omitted and are engraved on the margin at the foot of the plate. * Read -dmra.
Hero and in some places below the rules of sandh i have not been observed. 10 Read .sanpatsare. 11 The second akshara of this word originally was 16. Read samvat.
