The remaining two inscriptions, both of which are on copper-plates and discovered at Mandhata, refer themselves to the reign of Jayasimhadeva alias Jayavarman (C. 1255-75), described as lord of Dhara.
The first of these, dated in V. S. 1317 (A.D. 1261), records grant of a village Vadauda (the village Burud, 22 miles from Mandhata), in Mahuada pathak (Mohod, 28 miles from Mandhata), by Pratihara Gangeyadeva to three Brahmanas after bathing at the confluence of the Reva and the Kapila, near Amaresvara temple. This charter was later ratified by Jayavarman while he was staying at Mandu.2
The other one, dated in V.S. 1331 (A.D. 1274), is a charter issued by Sadhanika (a commander of the army), Anayasimhadeva, with the permission of the Paramara king Jayavarman, granting four villages to a number of Brahmanas residing in the Brahmapuri (i.e. the Brahmana settlement at Mandhata).3 It is evident from these inscriptions that the north of East Nimar was under the sway of the Paramaras from the beginning of the ninth to the last quarter of the thirteenth Centuries.
