In the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, for April, 1839, there is a translation of a copper grant, which Mr. H. T. Prinsep conjectured to have been made by a king of this dynasty. It is a grant of land by the Rája of Láta, a country mentioned in most of the lists of desas, but of which the exact locality has not been determined. Professor Wilson, in the second edition of his Dictionary, calls it “the upper part of the Dekhan,” and this agrees with the grant in question, from which we learn, that at the period at which it was made there were four kingdoms occupying part of the Dekhan and Hindustan, namely, Gúrjara, westward, Málwa, centrical, Gaura, eastward, and Láta, southward; the capital of the last named kingdom was Elapur, founded by Krishna Raya. The date of the grant is a.d. 812, and the princes mentioned in it are, 1. Govind Raja; 2. Karka, his son; 3. Krishna, his son; 4. Dhruva, his son, who died at Alláhábád; 5. Govind II., son of Dhruva; 6. Indra, brother of Govinda; 7. Karka, son of Indra, the author of the grant, whose heir presumptive was Danti Varma, his brother. The date agrees with that of our dynasty, and Mr. Prinsep, by supposing Karka to be the same with Kongani, traces all the above-mentioned princes in the Chera list with the exception of Indra. Independently, however, of the difference between the names Karka and Kongani, supposing them to belong to the same person, the succession of the princes differs entirely from that given in our MSS., in which neither the kingdom of Láta, nor any of the events recorded in the grant, are noticed. Hence it seems clear that the grant must belong to a different dynasty, ruling over a country far to the north of Chera, the Láta desa being probably situated immediately south of the Nerbadda river.

^{page 18 note 4} Professor Wilson, in his Catalogue of the M'Kenzie Collection, states the number as twenty-six, omitting No. 12, Mádhava Mahádhí Ráya, and No. 15, Kongani Mahádhi Raya II., and an unnecessary comma has been inserted in the press between Chaturbhúja and Kumara or Kanara deva (No. 4), thus making the actual number of names twenty-seven. (See Catalogue, , vol. i., p. 199.Google Scholar) Mr. Taylor has adopted the list with its errors; (Taylor, 's MSS., vol. ii., p. 64Google Scholar;) as has also Mr. Prinsep, in his Tables, in the latter, however, Raja Malla deva (No. 24), is divided into two names, viz., Rája Deva and Malla Deva; and Malla Deva II. the last prince is entirely omitted.
