By Pushpa Prasad

This is a compilation of 120 inscriptions, arranged chronologically, found in Delhi and in Uttar Pradesh. Several of the inscriptions record land-grants made by various rulers and chiefs; others are descriptions of battles or eulogies to rulers. Together, they constitute a wealth of information on the history of different regions and localities, and provide valuable supplementary details about local dynasties and potentates. Detailed historical background on the inscriptions and extensive notes on orthnography and linguistic peculiarities contribute to making this an essential resource for sanskritists and historians.
