SUPPLEMENTARY INSCRIPTIONS

we have already seen above, while identifying place-names in No. 179. For we have no evidence to show that the Yajvapālas in their last days succeeded in extending their dominions so far as to include Dēogaḍh in the Jhansi District which was under the Chandellas.

The second half of the inscription (ll. 4-7) is more corrupt and also fragmentary ; but as reconstructed by Sircar, it seems to introduce the Pradhān Ravija of Jatuhaṭṭa, his son Mudhaïsīha, and the latter’s two sons, Harirāja and Jayarāja, both of whom lost their lives in a battle with an unspecified enemy, and also that the pillar was erected in memory of their death, by Jayarāja’s son, Yamarāja. Here the word used is nirvahita.^[1]

As already observed by Sircar, the name of Ravija’s wife and that of the mother of Yamarāja cannot be fully deciphered, because of the mutilated condition of the record.

Of the geographical names appearing in the inscription. Kīrtidurga is more possibly Chandērī rather than Dēogaḍh with which we have identified above ;^[2] and Jauhaṭṭa (Sans. Jatuhaṭṭa) appears to be a locality in the vicinity of Budhērā where the pillar was found.
