figure in the present charter. The reason for making this new grant─which in effect cancelled the previous one, though it is not said so explicitly─is not known; but it may be noted the of the forty Brāhmanas to whom the first grant was made, thirty five were residents of the donated village Śirīshapadraka, while the remaining five were dwelling at Bhērajjikā. In the present grant all the five names of the Brāhmanas of Bhērajjikā have been omitted. It may, therefore, be conjectured that there was some dispute between the Brāhmana donees of the two villages Śirīshapadraka and Bhērajjikā, which eventually led to the cancellation of the first grant.1 It may again be noted that all the five Brāhamanas, whose names are omitted here, were students of the Atharvavēda which, as is well known, was looked with disfavour in ancient times. The reason for omitting three out of the other thirty-five names may be the death of the donees, without leaving any issue.

The geographical names occurring in the present grant have already been identified.

CXXXIX 1.38-9), Indraśarmā of the Bharadvāja gōtra (id. 1. 40) and Bhadra, Vāyuśarmā, Drōnasvāmī, Rudrāditya and Pūrnasvāmī of the Chauli gōtra (id. 1. 41); and two new names are introduced, viz., (1.37) Vāda of the Vatsa gōtra, and (1. 40) Indraśūra of the Dhūmrāyana or Dhaumrāyana gōtra─thus making up the number of thirty-four grantees, as stated in 1. 40. The names are arranged, ─not according to charanas, as in No. CXXXIX─ but according to gōtras; and three persons─Dhara, Dāmadhara and the second Iśvara─ who, according to No. CXXXIX 1. 40, seemed to belong to the Bharadvāja gōtra, are here said (1.38-9) to belong to the Lākshmanya gōtra’ (Ind. Ant., Vol. XIII, p. 88.) No. CXXXIX referred to in this passage is the Kairā inscription of Dadda II., dated K. 380 (No. 16, above).

1The thirty-two Brahmanas of Śirīshapadraka, whose names are repeated in the present grant, were no longer living at Śirīshapadraka. They had removed to Jambūsaras their original home.
