The plates, however, are not from Katni itself, but are reported to have been recovered at Uchahara, the ancient Uccakalpa, in Satna district.

The inscription records how mahārāja Jayanātha divided a village named Kalabhikuṇḍaka into a sixty shares and donated these to twenty-five different people.
The donees are individually named as is their caste affiliation: brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya or śūdra.
