Then it records a grant of five ropanīs of land made on the 14th of the waxing moon of the month of Phālguna in NS 840 in order to conduct the pūjā of Vatsaleśvarī. Again it documents a land grant of four ropanīs made on the new moon of the month of Śrāvaṇa in NS 844 for the annual śrāddha to be held in Gokarṇa. For the last time it records a grant of seven ropanīs of land made on the 3rd of the waxing moon of the month of Caitra in NS 845 for conducting the pūjā to Vajrayoginī and Bhairava.
