Two inscriptions of the reign of Devapaladeva (C. 1218-32), were found at Harsauda (modern Harsud) and Mandhata.
Harsud Stone Inscription, dated in V. S. 1275 (A.D. 1218), records construction of a Siva temple and a tank nearby by a merchant and states that Devapaladeva of Dhar was the then ruler.[2]
An inscription dated in V.S. 1282 (A.D. 1225), with the name of this king was found near the Siddhesvara temple at Mandhata. It records grant of a village Satajuna, still existing under the same name 13 miles south-west of Mandhata, to a number of Brahmanas after the king had bathed in the Reva (Narmada), while staying at Mahishmati which, as discussed in detail earlier, is equated with Mandhata. Inscription records not only names of the donees but also name of father, grandfather, place of origin, gotra and sakha, epithet used by each one
[p.48]: of them. The donees were connected with far-flung places of the country like Mathura, Jodhpur, Tripuri, Akola, the country between the Himalayas, etc.
The list of donees reveals an interesting feature. In case of 20 out of 32 donees, the same epithet is borne by grandfather, father and son; in 7 cases the grandfather and father have the same epithet, but the son has a different one; and in one case the epithet of father and son is the same while that of grand-father differs. In the four remaining cases we have the sequence: Dikshit, Awasthi, Shukla, Upadhyaya, Agnihotri, and the like. It is revealing, for it shows that the family names were not still stereotyped in the families since the donee and his father and grandfather have not the same distinctive designations or epithets.[3]
