Ramtek Kevala Narasimha temple inscription
The Rāmtek Kevala Narasiṃha temple inscription is an epigraphic record of the Vākāṭaka dynasty, documenting the construction of a temple dedicated to the Narasiṃha or lion-man incarnation (''avatāra'') of Viṣṇu. The inscription dates to the fifth century CE. The inscription is presently built into an interior wall of the Kevala Narasiṃha temple at Ramtek, in Nagpur district, Maharashtra, India. The inscription is written in 15 lines of Sanskrit but is damaged. It records the lineage of the Vākāṭaka rulers and the foundation of the temple. The inscription is composed in ''Puṣpitāgrā'', ''Upajāti'' and ''Śloka'' metres.
==Historical Significance==
The Rāmtek Kevala Narasiṃha temple inscription is a key and unique record for the history of the Vākāṭaka kings and their interrelations with the Gupta dynasty. Like many eulogistic inscriptions it provides the genealogy of the donor's family, in this case a daughter of Prabhāvatīguptā, herself the daughter of Chandragupta II. Of particular significance is the fact that the inscription records the marriage of Prabhāvatīguptā's daughter to Ghaṭotkaca, the king of central India who made a bid for supremacy and who is mentioned in the Tumain inscription of Kumāragupta. This daughter returned to the Vākāṭaka realm after the death of her husband.〔Hans T.
