The Ganj stone inscription was located in 1919 by Rakhaladas Banerji. The inscription is inscribed on a loose slab lying close to the ruins of a structure which could possibly be a dam at the village of Ganj. The inscription is identical to the one found earlier at Nachnā-kī-talāi (IN00199). The inscription records the meritorious action of Vyāghradeva who is described in the inscription as meditating upon the feet of Pṛthivīṣeṇa. It is 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.

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.

The four lined stone inscription was first published in 1963-64. It was discovered in what is considered to be a wall of ancient bricks which appear to have made a dam near the village of Hisse-Borālā. The inscription, which is dated to the reign of Devasena, contains a reference to the Śaka year 380 (i.e. A.D. 458-59), which is the earliest known reference to the Śaka era within the Vidarbha region. The inscription records the construction of a tank called Sudraśena by Svāmilladeva, an officer of Devasena.
