Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal Part I History Literature &c. 1874

1874

In this space are delineated on the first face the figure of a crescent surmounted by a sun symbolical of the gift's enduring as long as the sun and the moon shall exist in the heavens ; and on the second face the figure of Vishnu riding on Garuybs which would denote that the dynasty was Vaishnava in religion a fact borne out by the three names mentioned in the plate which are all synonyms of [...] The plate was also found by a Muhammadan." The language is Sanskrit Poetry with the exception of the first sentence and the description of the boundaries of the lands which are the subject of the gift. [...] It would seem that the description of the dynasty the donor and the donee and the usual formula at the end were drawn up by the court Pandits who left the details of the boundaries to be tilled in by subordinate officials. [...] Glad with this simulated speech and repeatedly kissing the agitated disc of the face of Lakahmi [who is steady in him) atter forcibly embracing her the= abandoned limbs may Damodari delight you! Cruel in robbing the lotus of her beauteous prosperity ; the object of the Maracas love; the jewel in the diadem of the conqueror of Tripura ; the husband of the night; the festive abode of Kaudarpa ; [...] From the Sanskrit of the Vedas to the more polished language of the Epic poems and through the Prakrit of the dramatists the old Hindi of Chand and the Braj Bldisha of Tulsi This down to the current speech of the rural population of Mathuri at the present time the transitions are never violent and at most points are all but imperceptible.
