EPIGRAPHIA INDICA
SAKRAI STONE INSCRIPTION ; V. S. 699
(1 Plate)
B. CH. CHHABRA, OOTACAMUND
Sakrāī is a village in the Śēkhāvāṭi province of the Jaipur State in Rājputāna,fourteen miles
north-west of Khaṇḍēlā. This latter place, in its turn, is twelve miles north-west of Sri Madhopur,
a railway station on the Rewari-Phulera section of the Bombay Baroda and Central India Railway. Sakrāī is a sacred place for the Hindus, reputed for its temples of the goddess Śākambharī
on the bank of the rivulet called Śarkarā, which is supposed to be the origin of the name of the
village. The stone, bearing the inscription edited here, is said to be stuck in a corridor wall
of the front entrance to the temple. The inscription was noticed as early as 1909 by Mr. (now Dr.)
D. R. Bhandarkar, the then Assistant Superintendent, Archaeological Survey of India, Western
Circle, Poona.2
The inscribed surface of the stone measures 3′ 1″ broad by 6¼″ high. The inscription consists of seven lines. The engraving has been very well executed. The letters have been treated
ornamentally. The graceful flourishes of the śirōmātrās are conspicuous to the eye throughout.

[2] Inscription No. 2517, Progress Report of the Archaeological Survey of India, Western Circle, for the year ending
31st March 1910, pp. 12, 28 and 56-7. Again, it is No. 23 of Bhandarkar’s List of Inscriptions of Northern India.
The date given by him is V.S. 879 ; but more probably it is V.S. 699, as is sought to be made out in the present
paper. See below, pp. 29-31.
