amwb : here I note some interesting information contained in notes or in the introduction of EI23
Line 2 : Bhattacharyya note 3 : analogous passages in Nidhanpur Plate of Bhāskaravarman EI12 p.73 and Deo-Baranark inscription of Jīvitagupta II (Fleet CII 3 p.213)
Place and date of discovery : during the excavations carried out by Mr. J.A. Page of the Archaelogical Survey of India in 1927-28 at Nālandā, Patna District among burnt debris in the north veranda of Monastery number 1 (identical level of the grant of Devapāladeva EI17 p.310-27)
Noticed first by Dr. Hirananda Sastru in the Annual Report of the Archaeological Survey of India, 1927-28 p.138.
Cause of the loss of a large number of lines : the destruction of the monastery by fire
Characters very similar to those of the Khalimpur Plate ;
Peculiarities : kta and ku almost identical ; separate signs have been used for final T and N ; some details on how ā, i e are noted
Orthography . b is always noted by v
