IN00199 Nachna Inscription of Vyaghradeva

The Nachnā-kī-talāi stone inscription was located in 1883-84 by Alexander Cunningham. The inscription is inscribed on two sides of a loose slab which was found on the ground outside the fort of Kuṭhārā. The inscription is identical to the one found at Ganj. The inscription records the meritorious action of Vyāghradeva who is described in the inscription as meditating upon the feet of Pṛthivīṣeṇa. It has not been definitively proven whether the inscriptions refer to Pṛthivīṣeṇa I or Pṛthivīṣeṇa II. It is assumed that Vyāghradeva was a feudatory or officer under the Pṛthivīṣeṇa mentioned in the inscription.
