39 lines; 13 verses : 9 in the introductory portion (lines 2-19) same as INSNandodbhava00007 and INSNandodbhava00005 and 4 customary verses (lines 33-38).Acharya 2014, n. 49, p. 399: "An interesting passage in the descripiton of the king Devānandadeva II is found in this record as well as in the other plates of the family is śīta-dhātu-maya-godhā-śikharākṛta-lohita-locanāmbara-dhvajaḥ. It shows that the banner of the Nanda kings was a piece of cloth with the emblem lohita-locana having an alligator (godhā) above, which was made of śīta-dhātu. The expression śīta-dhātu usually means "chalk"; but it can be so interpreted as to suggest that the alligator on the banner of the Nanda kings was made of silver (EI 27, p. 237)". On the date, Acharya 2014, n. 50, p. 399: "Behera is inclined to believe that the grant was issued in the Bhauma year 152 corresponding to CE 888. K.V. Ramesh, the editor of the journal, however, remarked that the passage containing the date, "is incomplete and appears to have been inserted subsequently" (p. 244, note 1). "
