North Indian Inscriptions |
INSCRIPTIONS OF THE CHANDELLAS OF JEJAKABHUKTI king Jayavarmadēva who had spread his fame in all the directions. The inscription is concluded by expressing the name of the writer and the date which we have seen above. It is strange that the record contains no allusion to the successors of Dhaṅga nor anything else about Jayavarman besides his name. From the other records of the house, however, we know him to be the sixth descendant of Dhaṅga, as we shall see in their proper context. Of the two place-names mentioned in the inscription, Kharjūravāhaka (ll. 32-33) is the modern Khajurāhō in the Chhatarpur District of Madhya Pradesh, as already seen above ; and Tarkārikā from where the poet originally hailed (v. 57) and which is also the original home of the donee of the Nānyaurā grant of Dhaṅgadēva, has already been shown to be existing in Bihar. The other names like Kāñchī, Āndhra, Rāḍhā and Aṅga do not figure in the main context and they are all well known to need identification.
