Simmia, 1873.] MORBI COPPERPLATE. 257
THE MORBI COPPER-PLATE.
BY PROP. RAMK^ISHNA GOPAL BHANDARKAR, M.A. BOMBAY.
Through the kindness of Major J. W. Wataoa, a loan of this plate was obtained from the
Morbi Darbar more than a year ago and a facsimile made, which, however, has only recently been
printed. There were two plates a few years ago, bnt the first has gone amissing: it is snpposed
that it was lent and never returned. This is greatly to be regretted, as it doubtless gave the
genealogy of the royal donor. The date is given in words which interpret the figures for Samvat
585 in the penultimate line: in this the figure 5 is recognisable enough, the vertical stroke with a
fine over it for 8, though found elsewhere, is loss usual.—Ed.
