D. C. SIROAR, OOTACAMUND Sometime about the middle of the year 1951, reports reached me that Mr. S. C. De, Curator of Archives, attached to the Orissa State Museum, Bhubaneswar, had found an inscribed stone in the vicinity of the well-known town of Bhadrak in the Balasore District of Orissa. I also learnt that the stone, believed to have been originally the lintel of the door of a temple, had been secured for the Orissa State Museum and brought to Bhubaneswar. I wrote to the authorities of the Museum requesting them to send me a few impressions of the inscription for examination; un
Chakravarti roads : yathadisati viditam-astu bhavatar Gould- khanda, but takes the name of the subdivision to be Ulökhanda.
Chakravarti reads: sambandhab Pajāragrama sayari karatab s8 diba sa. • Read sambaddha. • Read 8-parikarab.
Chakravarti roads : rbba-vådna-vivarjita chatubraya simd laya parika. • Read vadhà-vivarjitas-chatub-olma-valaya-parikrili.
Chakravarti reads : rata paryanlat karastaru pla 10 Aviddha. • The danda is superfluous. • Read Sasanatočna dattal. 10 I.e., rūpya-palani dada. 11 Chakravarti reads : vinirgata Bhafa-putra Valukanya ana.
11 The shashfhf vibhakti is preferred apparently because Valluka received the village (possibly by purchase) as a kara-fasana and not as a revenue-free gift.
13 Read sulasya. 16 Read tafakanan. 15 Read satani cha.
** The reading intondod is yasya yasya yada bhimis-tasya tasya tada phalam. The first ball of tho stanza is inadvertently omitted.
11 The intended reading is Má bhad-a-phala-banka, etc. 18 The intended reading is ava-danal=phalamadnantyan, eto. 19 The reading intended is Sva-dallah para-dalla ud, ato. * The second half of the stanza could not be completed owing to want of space.
