EPIGRAPHIA INDICA

and anujñāta (witnessed) by Vāguli Ratna. The document is stated to have been written by the Sandhivigrahin Śaṅkara while the plates were engraved by the akshasālin (goldsmith) Napa, already known as the engraver of the plates of another king of the family, named Neṭṭabhañja III Tribhuvanakalasa, which have been edited above.^[1] The charter ends with the date, year 198.

Of the geographical names mentioned in the inscription, Vañjulvaka is well known from many other records of the family, although its exact location is as yet unknown. The Ramalava district and the villages of Kōṅkaïrā and Santōshamādhava are difficult to identify. The Bhaṭṭa-grāma Khaḍuvāvallī in Madhyadēśa (roughly identical with the modern Uttar Pradesh) cannot be identified.
