Desāṃ Stone Slab

INRAJ0001  Desāṃ Stone Slab Inscription of VS 1453 and 1520.

Deogarh (देवगड), Uttar Pradesh. Located next to a flight of steps in the gorge named Nāharghāṭī, leading down on the south side of Deogaṛh Fort to the river Betvā. Below the inscription is a relief of seven Mātṛkās flanked by Vīrabhadra and Gaṇeśa.

A corner moulding block next to the doorway. The block, probably sandstone, is rounded at the top, and the inscribed area is a slightly recessed rectangular panel with a roughly cut surface. Its depth has not been measured.

This is the exterior lower moulding of the Comeśvar Mahādev temple. The inscription is engraved mainly on one stone block, but the ends of some lines extend, just barely, to a second block. The inscribed surface is immediately to the right when facing the temple gate, and its top is about 60 cm above the temple platform. The inscription campus is slightly recessed in the main block, but this does not appear to be the case with the second, larger block. This may mean that the second block has been replaced and re-engraved, but a more likely explanation is that the engraving was carried out in a work phase separate from the carving of the recessed panel. There is, however, no indication that the inscription as a whole is a later copy.

Slab of stone on the front portion of a platform in the temple of Kumbheśvara, Pātan. No date.
