Synopsis

The renowed city Gwalior is well-known for its historical and religious significance. The legacy survives in form of prehistoric and historic archaeological materials, invincible fort, amazing places, opulent historical buildings, cemeteries, rich literature, various inscriptions, and so on. Inscriptions are vital source of information for chronological reconstruction of all aspects of Indian history and the present study of the Gwalior inscriptions is an endeavor to bring together and study more than thousand of unpublished and published inscriptions as well as to give a comprehensive account of the data related to the historical milieu, the society and social structure, economic condition and diversififed religion, religious beliefs and practices. The authors have taken extreme care in documenting the epigraphs in two volumes, grouped on the basis of languages, Sanskrit, Arabic-Persian and Roman (English), used and the relevant data in each inscription have been systematically classified making the volume a descriptive catalogue of the inscriptions of Gwalior. It, thus, painstaking furnishes detailed information about the rulers and the beneficiaries, administrative and revenue terms, religious presuasion, occasion and purpose of the grants, year and other astronomical details and persons present at the time of grants, right and privilages transferred to the donees, land measures, constructions or renovation of temples etc. and installations of images, digging, renovation or upkeep of tanks and wells, patronage, pontiffs, sravakas, family structure, memoirs of the deccased persons, topographical details, development of languages and scripts, and so on. A complete history written today, taking in account all recent epigraphic discoveries would be significantly different from and more complete than one written earlier. It is hoped that the innovative and scholarly work should entice the spirit of students, historians and researchers, especially those who are interested in the local history of Northern Madhya Pradesh.
