Commentary

Bibliographical reference : PR Srinivasan EI 38 1968 p 124-128 ; AK Rath OHRJ 11-4 1963 p 242-254 ARIE 1964-1965 CP n°47 1006 Gai 1986 . Date : (Bhauma) year 161 (samvat 100. 60. 1, line 41) The date is expressed in numerical symbols. Acharya 2014, n. 44, p. 395: "The introductory section in prose and verse is almost the same except the different names of the donors and the ancestors. According to Srinivasan (p. 125?), "But in the present record the incomplete verse 1 praises a certain Accharadeva. The context in which he is mentioned clearly implies that he was no other than the ruling chief and the issuer of the charter whose coronation name Vinītatuṅga is mentioned later on un line 17 ... Verse 2 (lines 10-12) is also in praise of the ruling chief Accharadeva alias Vinītatuṅga" The Santiragrāma plate of Daṇḍīmahādevī of Bhauma year 180 (CE 916) refers to a chieftain named Rāṇaka Apsoradeva, who was in charge of the territory of Yamagarttamaṇḍala. The identification of this Rāṇaka Apsoradeva with Accharadeva alias Vinītatuṅga II of the present plate cannot be dismissed altogether." Nine verses altogether. Four in the introductory portion and 5 customary verses lines 28-40.
