EPIGRAPHIA INDICA PHERAVA GRANT OF SAMANTAVARMAN, KING OF KALINGA, YEAR 185 (1 Plate) R. C. MAJUMDAR, CALCUTTA This is a set of three plates which were dug up from a field nearly a furlong west of Chidivalasa (near Narasannapeta) in the Ganjam District, and are now in the possession of the Mohant or Pontiff of Balaga maṭha at Chicacole. Mr. M. Narasimham kindly brought the grant to my notice and sent me estampages of the plates. Subsequently a fresh set of estampages was supplied by the Government Epigraphist. The grant was noticed in the Annual Report on South Indian Epigraphy for the year 1937-38 (p. 80), and referred to by Dr. B. Ch. Chhabra in this Journal (above, Vol. XXIV, p. 132). Mr. M. S. Sarma edited the grant in the Journal of Oriental Research (Vol. XI, pp. 55 ff.). Each of the plates measures 5·8″ X 2·2″. There is a ring-hole about the middle of the left hand side, but neither the ring nor the seal was actually found. Each plate contains six lines of writing on each side, save that the third plate has only one line on the back side, and that one side of the first plate is blank. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
