Commentary

Bibliographical references : Iyer Tripathy EI41 1975-76 p 148-153 ARIE 1974-1975 CP14 Pal n°117 OSM CP68. Introductory porrtion agrees with INSNalodbhava00001

Informations collected from EI41. Place of discovery : somewhere in the Aska division in Ganjam District in Orissa. Place of presevervation : Odisha State Museum, accession number CP68. Seal : a crescent moon at the top and a standing boar below, no legend. Total 34 lines of writing. Script : kaliṅga alphabet of about the 11th century A.D. comparable with INSNalodbhava00001 and INSNalodbhava00003, but with some special features. Date : year 189 evidently of the Bhaumakara era on the 12th day of the dark half of the minth Phālguna (i.e. 1020 A.D.). Importance of this record : from it, it can be asserted that Narendradhavala belongs to the Nala family. The use of the bhaumakara era shows that the Nalas might once upon a time have been the feudatories of the imperial Bhaumakaras.
