EPIGRAPHITA (NTICA.
[VOL. XXVI.
the feudatory Kumārapala is stated in the inscription of V. 3. 1225 referred to above, to be the chief'. It is ever now the name of the tract which comprises the estate of Begin, Singoli, Kadvāsa, Ratangarh Khedi, etc. Vadauva (1. 29) is the modern Badauva about 3 miles south of Biitoli. Laghu Vijholi (1.29) is called Chhoti Bijolia at present, and is about 3 miles west of Bijnoli.
Lastly it may be mentioned that this site is regarded by the Digambara Jains to be holy exclusively to their religion, but v. 71 of the present epigraph clearly indicates that it had become as such only after the manifestation of Parávanātha taking place in the beginning of the thirteenth century of the Vikrama era. That the whole table-land had been a Brahmanic tirtha centuries before this period, and is even now no less so, hardly needs any mention.
