The
record refers itself to the reing of Nityavarsha and is dated
in Saka 847, parthiva (=A.D. 925).
Since Govinda IV was the ruling king in that year, it
has to be surmised that he also had the surname Nityavarsha like
his father Indra III. (See
Annual Report on Epigraphy 1916, Pt. ii, para. 38). The inscription registers a gift of land made by Nagayya to a
temple built by him while Chandraprabha-Bhatara of the
Dhora-Jinalaya of Ba[nka]pura was administering Pasundi (i.e.,
modern Asundi) and nagapuli Gavunda was the head-man (of the
village.)

A Slab Set Up On The Tank-Bund
The
inscription belongs to the reign of Suvarnavarsha, i.e., Govinda
IV and is dated in Saka 855, Vijaya (=A.D. 933).
It records several gifts made by Ballajja, the Gavunda of
Kovujagere to the temples and mathas constructed by
him at Kovujagere, Belvanige and Evamgal.
The erection of a gavikallu for himself and the
stone (-structures) for his two sons, mentioned in the inscription
is note worthy. He is
stated to have constructed five temples.
