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, 50399: "Behera is inclined to believe that the grant was issued in the Bhauma year 152 corresponding to CE 888. K.V.
