Vasanta

Rock inscription at Balkhandeswara on the northern slope of the hill fortress of Kalinjar in the Banda district in Bundelkhand, Uttar Pradesh. The inscription which mentions a sāmanta named Vasanta is placed above a sculpture showing a water carrier, which is itself placed to the left of an ekamukhaliṅga. Several other such figures are found at Kalinjar. See Hans T. Bakker, The World of the Skandapurāṇa. Northern India in the Sixth and Seventh Centuries. Leiden/Boston: Brill, 2014: 205-209.
