EPIGRAPHIA INDICA

BARDULA PLATES OF MAHASIVAGUPTA : YEAR 9

(1 Plate)

P. B. DESAI, OOTACAMUND

These copper plates were found buried underground some years back at Bārdūlā, a village in the Sarangarh State, Central Provinces. They were traced and sent for examination to the Government Epigraphist for India by Pandit L. P. Pandeya, Secretary, Mahakosala Historical Society, Raigarh. As a member of the office of the Government Epigraphist for India, I had an opportunity of studying them critically. I am grateful to Mr. Pandeya for his king permission to edit them here.

_______________________________________________


[1] The temple is called pañchāyatana, because, the main structure was surrounded by four small shrines dedicated to Durgā, Gaṇapati, Sarasvatī, etc. ; of. above, Vol. XXII, p. 130. For another such temple of a slightly earlier period see the Rewah stone inscription of Vapullaka, Haihayas of Tripurī, etc., p. 131.
[2] Lit, celestial.
[3] This verse is rather obscure. Perhaps the temple was surrounded by water on all sides and therefore resembled the city of Dvārakā.
[4] According to the Mahābhārata and the Purāṇas, Muru or Mura was killed not Śiva, but by Kṛishṇa.
[5] i.e., at the time of a solar eclipse.
[6]As the author speaks in this verse of his knowledge of the Buddhist āgamas, the three ratnas may be the Buddha, Dharma and Saṅgha.
