Khoh Copper-plate Inscription of the Maharaja Sharvanatha

        Ôm! Hail! From Uchchakalpa; — (There was) the Mahârâja Ôghadêva. His son, who meditated on his feet, (was) the Mahârâja Kumâradêva, begotten on the Mahâdêvi Kumâradêvî. His son, who meditated on his feet, (was) the Mahârâja Jayasvâmin, begotten on the Mahâdêvî Jayasvâminî. His son, who meditated on his feet, (was) the Mahârâja Vyâghra, begotten on the Mahârâja Jayanâtha, begotten on the Mahâdêvi Ajjhitadêvî.

(Line 5.)— His son, who meditates on his feet, the Mahârâja Sharvanâtha,— begotten on the Mahâdêvî Murundasvâminî,— being in good health, issues a command to the cultivators, beginning with the Brâhmans, and to the artisans, in half of (the village of) Dhavashandikâ in the Vôta santika: —

        (L. 8.)— "Be it known to you that this half village is, by (this) copper-plate charter, given to Chhôdugômika, [to be enjoyed] by the succession of him and (his) sons, sons' sons, sons of the latter, &c.,— to endure for the same time with the moon and the sun; with the udranga and the uparikara; (with the privilege that it is) not to be entered by the irregular or the regular troops; with remission of all the taxes; (and) with such tribute as may accrue. And it is agreed by him (and) by me, that it is granted for the purpose of the repairs, by the above-mentioned succession (of him and his descendants), of whatever may become broken or torn, belonging to the divine goddess Pishtapurikâdêvî, and for the maintenance of the bali, charu, and sattra.

        (L. 13.)— "You yourselves shall render to these persons the offering of the tribute of the customary royalties, taxes, gold, &c., and shall be obedient to (their) commands.

        (L. 15.)—"And those kings who shall be born in Our lineage,— by them this grant should not be confiscated, (but) should be assented to."
