The object of the record is to register the grant of certain pieces of land given on
different occasions to a Brāhmaṇa named dvivēda-Āsā(sā)dhara, son of dikshita Dēvaśarman and
grandson of dvivēda Nārāyaṇa, who had hailed from Sṛingapura in Madhyadeśa, who was a
student of Madhyandina śākhā and whose gōtra was Kātyāyana, with three pravaras, viz. Kātyā-
yana, Kapila and Viśvāmitra. We are then told in 11. 13-14 that Naravarman himself donated
twenty nivartanas of land, measuring it by a daṇḍa containing ninty-six parvvas,' to this Brāh-
maņa on the 12th day of the bright half of Magha in the year 1162, corresponding to Thurs-
day, the 3rd February, 1110 A.C., when the charter was issued. The document in 11. 14-18)
also refers to previous grants of twenty halas of land, as shown below, in a tabular form:
(a) Ten halas donated by the Mahāmaṇḍalīka Rājya(ja)dēva on the 15th day of the
bright half of Kārttika in the year 1154.
(b) Four halas by his wife, the illustrious Mahādēvī (probably on the same date?).
(c) Six halas by the king Naravarman himself, on the 15th day of the bright half of
Pausha in the year 1159, on the occasion of Bhītaraprana(?)-parvan. Thus all the different grants are registered in the present charter which was issued by Nara-
varman from his stay at Dhārā (1. 7), and the land is stated to lay in possession of the Mahā-
maṇḍalīka Rājya(ja)dēva and was situated in the pratījāgaraṇa (parganā) of Mandārikā in the
Upendrapura-manḍala. Lines 19-21 state the terms of the grant and sound a note of warning
usually to be found in those of the Paramāra dynasty, and this acount is followed by five imprecat-
ory verses. Then the date is repeated in numerical figures, and stating the name of the dūtaka
to be Ṭhakkura Kēśava, and with the sign-manual of Naravarman in the end, the record is closed.
