INSCRIPTIONS OF THE PARAMARAS OF MALWA

in the vicinity, this place also appears to be identical with the same as mentioned in the Halāyudha-stōtra found in the temple of Amarēśvara, as to be seen below. [1] Ghaṭāüshari (1. 34), which is mentioned as the place of origin of the third donee, remains unidentified ; how-ever, we find a place of the name Ghaṭwā about 8 kms. south of Dharampurī and on the other side of the river, and this suggests itself to have been a short form of the first compound of the name.

TEXT [2]
[Metres: Verses 1-21, 23, 25-27 and 30 Anushṭubh ; v. 22 Śārdūlavikrīḍita ; v. 24 Vasantatilakā ; v. 28 Śālinī v. 29 Pushpitāgrā ; v. 31 Indravajra].

First Plate

[1]See below, No. 180. The place cannot be identified for want of sufficient data. It is here interesting to note that the original site of the Hindu University at Vārāṇasī is also known by the name Nagawā.
[2] From the original plates and impressions.
[3] Expressed by a symbol.
[4] The numbers of the stanzas are only preceded by two daṇḍas each and not followed. In the transcript I have retained the same arrangement, to avoid insertions so often.
[5] Originally a daṇḍa, later on changed to visarga.
[6] After the third akshara of this word, either the sign of visarga or a daṇḍa was first inserted and later on erased as redundant. Similarly, a daṇḍa which was redundant was scored off after the third akshara in this line.

>

[7] In place of the first two aksharas in this hemistich and the preceding one, some other letters were originally engraved and later on scratched off.
[8] Some other akshara appears to have been originally engraved in place of this one which was later on corrected.
[9] Originally द्मा, with the mātrā so lightly scored off as to be seen only on the plate.
[10] The mātrā of short i was at first engraved before this letter and later on erased so as to leave the mark.
[11] This akshara is damaged and appears as overwritten.
[12] This letter is so formed as to resemble va.
