Notes

This extremely weathered inscription accompanies the Saptamātṛkā panel on Gyānnāth Hill in Badoh-Pathari (Vidisha District, Madhya Pradesh). The inscription was reported by M. B. Garde (Annual Report of the Archaeological Department, Gwalior State for Samvat 1980, Year 1923-24, p. 12) who mentioned that the name of viṣayeśvara mahārāja Jayatsena could be read in it along with a partial date, the 13th of a bright half-month. The area has been surveyed by Anne Casile and reported in "Changing Religious Landscapes in Gupta Times: Archaeological Evidence from the Area of Baḍoh-Paṭhāri in Central India," South Asian Studies 30 (2014): 245-268; the inscription studied and published by Dániel Balogh, "The Badoh-Pathari Saptamātṛ Panel Inscription," Indo-Iranian Journal 65, no. 3 (2019): 191-226.
