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.
