11. Baranga plates, year 15.
OHRJ, 6, pt.2: 109-14 (Saratchandra Behara);  IO, II, I, 78-80. (S.Rajaguru=SR)

The circumstance under which the plates were discovered at Baranga in the Chikati Taluk, of the District of Ganjam is given in the notes for No. 1-A. alove. So. it needs no repitition. This grant consists of three copper-plates attached to a ring. Each plate measures about 7" x 2.1". The ring contains a seal whereupon the legend is not visible. No.12 Inscription belongs to Nandaprabhaãjanavarman who seems to be the same king, mentioned in this grant. But, there he is styled as Paramabhàgavata which title is absent in the present grant. The last portion of the text of No. 12 seems to be incomplete, as the date of issue and the name of writer are omitted. (SR)
