INIG1339 pauṣa badi 10 guruvāra Narwar (Shivpuri). On a slab. 27 lines, old nāgarī, Sanskrit. Records the construction of a well (vāpī) and the planting of a garden (upavana) by Gaṅgadeva, son of Ajayadeva and minister (saciva) to Gopāladeva; also mentions Jayapāla or Jajapella, the progenitor of the Jajapella dynasty, who was brought forth at Ratnagiri by the goddess Mahāruṇḍā. Born in the Jajapella dynasty were Cāhaḍa (who captured Narwar or Nalagiri), his son Naravarman or Nṛvarman, his son Āsalladeva and his son Gopāla who defeated Vīravarman, lord of Jejabhukti.

The inscription was discovered in ruins of an ancient monastery belonging to the Jētavanārāma group, north of the Kūṭṭam-pokuṇa in Anurādhapura. It consists of 14 lines of Sanskrit prose engraved on a granite slab. It seems to be the second portion of a text. The first part must have been written on another slab, which has not been found. The inscription records rules for the guidance of monks and laymen living in within the precincts of the vihāra or in its lands. No date is given in the inscription but, according to Wickremasinghe, it is probably from the first half of the 9th century A.D.
