This copper plate (mentioning Kekhaṇḍikā) was in the possession of a Brahmaṇa of Sātārā, who lent it to James Grant. It records the grant, by Bhoja II, of the village Kaśeli for providing food daily to twelve Brāhmaṇas. It was made at the request and for the prosperity of the prince Gaṇḍarāditya, on the holy occasion of the Dakṣiṇāyana-saṅkrānti, which occurred on Thursday, the fourth tithi of the bright fortnight of Āṣāḍha 1113 Saka years had elapsed and the cyclic year Virodhakṛt was current.
