The grant identified Nadivanāka as belonging to the "naya" (subdivision) of Ajapura (which Shastri identified with present-day Ajaipur), in the "vishaya" (province) of Rājagṛha (present-day Rajgir). In the grant, the revenues from Nadivanāka and several other villages, along with all of their attached fields, pastures, and mango and madhuka orchards, were granted tax-exempt for the upkeep of a Buddhist monastery at Nalanda that had been founded by the king Balaputra of Srivijaya.
