OHRJ 6, pts. 2 & 3 : 106-09 (Saratchandra Behara). IO, II, I, 75-77. (S.Rajaguru=SR)

This set of copper-plate inscription has been recently discovered from Baranga village of Chikati Taluk in the District of Ganjam, by Sri Sarat Chandra Behara, M. A., of Chikati, who will edit it in due course of time. This set of plates was found burried in a paddy-field along with two more sets of copper-plate inscriptions. No. 12-A is the second set of plates and the third set was destroyed by a gold smith. The plates are three in number, each measuring about 4-5" X 2-2". They are attached to a copper-ring containing a circular seal. The legend, on the seal, is not visible. There is a village called Bhilliêga near Baranga of the Chikati Taluk where the plates were disjovered. (SR)
