INCRIPTIONS OF THE KALACHURIS OF TRIPURI A transcript of its text accompanied by a lithograph was published by Mr. R.D. Banerji in his Haihayas of Tripuri and their Menuments, p. I42. The record is edited here from excel- lent estampages supplied by the Superintendent of Archæology, Central Circle, Patna The inscription is incised on a stone slab let into the front wall, on the right- hand side of the door leading into the sanctuary of the temple of Gaurī-Śańkara at Bhērā-Ghāţ, 13 miles from Jabalpur, the chief town of the Jabalpur District of Madhya Pradesh. The writing, which measures I’ 9” broad by 9’’ high, contains four lines. It has suffered considerably on the right-hand side owing to the peeling off of the surface if the stone. About six aksharas at the end of the first three lines and one akshara in the beginning of the last two have been either wholly or partly damaged. (The characters are Nāgarī and the language Sanskrit. The orthography does not call for any remark.
TRANSLATION The Mahārājñī the illustrious Gōsaladēvī, the glorious Mahārāja, the illustrious
Vijayasimhadēva, the Mahākumāra Ajayasimhadēva, - these constantly bow to the Des-
Troyer2 of diseases for (their) welfare. 1 Hiralal makes Gōsaladēvī the queen of Vijayasimha. See I. C. P. B. (second ed.), p. 37.
The Kumbhi copper-plate inscription, however, makes it plain that she was his mother. See Appendix, No. 4,
below. 1 Properly, Salakshanavarmadēva.
