S.L. Katare has referred to one other inscription of Jayavarman incised on a badly damaged slab of stone. [...] The contents of this record are said to be “of great value for the history of the Candellas and their contemporaries, the Kalacuris of Tripurī, the Paramāras of Dhāra, the Pratīhāras of Kanauj, The Gāhaḍavālas of Kanauj and Vārāṇasī and the turkish invasion of India. Vidyādhara is expresly stated to have defeated Hammīravīra (Mahmud)”.—(cf. I.H.Q., XXXV, pp. 340-357)
