North Indian Inscriptions |
SUPPLEMENTARY INSCRIPTIONS who despoiled kings of their fortune and planted his foot on their heads. His generosity and other merits were described in verses 15 and 16, but the record is very much mutilated in this portion. Yaśaḥkarṇa is eulogised in verses 17-19, and Gayākarṇa, in verse 20, but these verses also are very much mutilated. Narashiṁha is extolled in verse 22, and his younger brother Jayasiṁha, in verses 23. The latter's wife Gōsaladēvī is named in verse 24 Finally, Vijayasiṁha, the son of Gōsaladēvī, is described in verse 25. Judging from the preserved portion, the description of all these princes, though written in an artistic style, was merely conventional and did not contain any historical information. Its author Sōmarāja is mentioned in line 16. The inscription is not dated, but as it belongs to the reign of the Kalachuri king Vijayasiṁha whose known dates range from K. 932 to K. 96 (x), it can be referred to about the last quarter of the 12th century A.C
