EPIGRAPHIA INDICA
KONI INSCRIPTION OF KALACHURI PRITHVIDEVA II ; K. E. 990
(1 Plate)
V. V. MIRASHI, NAGPUR
This inscription is edited here from an excellent ink impression which I owe to the kindness
of Dr. B. Ch. Chhabra, Government Epigraphist for India.
The inscription was discovered at Koni, a small village on the left bank of the Ārpā, about
12 miles south by east of Bilaspur, the chief town of the Bilaspur District in the Chhattisgarh
Division of the Central Provinces. The circumstances of its discovery are stated in the following
note kindly supplied by Dr. Chhabra.
“ Early in November 1945, I received information, almost simultaneously from the following
three gentlemen, Pt. L. P. Pandeya, Raigarh, Mr. P. L. Gupta, Bilaspur, respectively Honorary
Secretary and Joint Honorary Secretary of the Mahakosala Historical Society, and Mr. G. L. Kumar,
Executive Engineer, Public Works Department , Bilaspur, to the effect that a stone slab bearing
a finely engraved longish inscription had then been dug up at an ancient site, not far from the
village of Koni, about 12 miles from Bilaspur. Subsequently I visited the place on the 8th January, 1946, in company with Mr. G. L. Kumar, Mr. K. L. Agnihotri, President of the Mahakosala
Historical Society, and Dr. B. P. Mishra, Principal, S. B. R. Arts College, Bilaspur, Up to the
village of Ḍarrī on the left bank of the river Ārpā, 7¾ miles from Bilaspur in the easterly direction,
we drove in a truck. Further on, to reach the site, we walked about 5 miles, almost following
the river downstream, passing the villages of Lāwar and Koni on the way. The site with a black
granite Śiva liṅga prominently standing in the centre, then recently exposed, lies about ½ mile
west of Koni. At that point the river takes a graceful bend towards the south, thus providing
an excellent site for a sanctuary. The one that stood there in the 12th century was a Śiva temple,
as indicated by the surviving liṅga. The temple is referred to in the inscription by the special
designation of the type, Śivapañchāyatana. The site consists of a small mound strewn over with
