An inscription of the Paramara king Jayavarman II, dated 28 August 1256 CE, was issued at Rahatgarh and discovered on a stone slab by Alexander Cunningham during the 1870s. The 14-line inscription is written in Sanskrit prose.Template:Sfn
The inscription drafts a royal document of Maharajadhiraja ("great king") of Dhara. As the inscription is partially damaged, different scholars have read the name of the king as "Jayasimhadeva" or "Jayavarmadeva".Template:Sfn
