Locating the whereabouts of the Original Inscriptions quoted by Tod in his book remains a tricky problem being faced by the researchers, kindly see how :
About Ram Chandrapoora near Bundi Inscription [Inscription 1. quoted earlier], Tod has mentioned that after making translation of the document: ”It was thence conveyed by me in the Museum of the Royal Asiatic Society.” But something went wrong enroute as it did not reach London. What happened with this and numerous other stone slabs containing inscriptions dispatched for the Museum is still a mystified issue for us.
Dr. Gopinath Sharma, [Rajasthan ke Itihas ke Srota, 1983, pp. 51-52] tried to find out the inscriptions mentioned by Tod in his book
.His efforts failed and he arrived at the conclusion that when the big slabs of stone like Maun Mori inscription of Chittore, were being taken to England by sea, perhaps in an attempt to ease out the ship of heavy load, they were thrown into the sea and lost forever.
He goes on to state that in the absence of the original inscriptions engraved on the Stones, we have to depend upon the available English translation of these inscriptions done by Tod in his Annals and Antiquities….
