Inscriptions.The Jagsvámi temple has the honour of supplying fifteen of eighteen unmodern inscriptions found at Bhinmál. Of the fifteen inscriptions belonging to Jagsvámi’s temple nine are in place and six have been removed to other buildings. Of the six which have been moved five are in Báráji’s rest-house in the east and one is in the enclosure of Mahálakshámí’s temple in the south of the town. Of the three remaining inscriptions of one (No. 3) the date S. 1106 (a.d. 1043) is alone legible. Of the letters on the two others, one in the bed and the other on the north bank of the Jaikop lake, no portion can be read. Arranged according to date the sixteen inscriptions of which any portion has been read come in the following order:

I.—(S. 950–1050; a.d. 900–1000. No. 1 of Plan.) On the left hand side of the eastern face of the broken architrave of the porch of the shrine of Jagsvâmi. The letters show the inscription to be of about the tenth century:

Śrî Jagasvâmidêvasya vâsare

on the day of Śrî Jagasvâmi.[68]

II.—(S. 950–1050; a.d. 900–1000. No. 2 of Plan.) On the south face of the eightsided section of the northern pillar of the shrine porch in the temple of Jagsvâmi. Wrongly described in Bhâvanagara prâcînaśodhasaṅgraha I. under No. 46 of the State Collection, as referring to a man called Vasuṁdhara and dated Vi. S. 1330. As the letters show, the inscription is of about the tenth century. It consists of a single

III.—(S. 1106; a.d. 1049. Not on Plan.) On the east side of the southern water channel into Gautama’s lake three-quarters of a mile north of the town. Except the date nothing can be deciphered.
