HULTZSCH, PH.D.; HALLE (SAALE). "The Seven Pagodas" is the Anglo-Indian name of an extensive group of ancient rocksculptures on the sea-shore, about 30 miles south of Madras. These interesting remains can be reached from Madras by boat on the Buckingham Canal, or from Chingleput Junction by bullock-cart via Tirukkalukkanram. The present Tamil designation of the place is Mavalivaram, while the Brahmapas call it by the more learned Sanskrit name Mahabalipuram, i.e. the city of Mahabali.' In the Chola inscriptions of the "Shore temple" we find the terms Mamallapuram, i.e. the city of Mahamalla,' and Tirukkadalmallai, .e. the holy Mallai on the sea. Mamallapuram then formed part of Amur-nadu, a sub-division of Amur-kottam.2 Both this 'district and its sub-division were named after the present village of Amur3 near Mamallapuram. The four last of the subjoined inscriptions (Nos. 23-26) are at Saluvanguppam, a village 2 miles north of Mavalivaram. The wonderful monuments at the Seven Pagodas have attracted the attention of many ourists and antiquarians. A collection of notices of them was published at Madras in 1869 by Captain Carr under the title "Descriptive and Historical Papers Relating to the Seven Pagodas on the Coromandel Coast." By far the best and most authentic account was furnished in 1880 by Dr. Fergusson in his Cave Temples of India, pp. 105-159. The Madras Journal of Literature and Science for the year 1880 (pp. 82-232) contains an excellent guide, with a map, by Colonel Branfill, which will be much appreciated by visitors to the spot and will save them much time and trouble. The important question of the authors and the dates of those excavations can be answered only by a careful study of the inscriptions engraved on them. These I published already in 1890 in the first volume of South-Indian Inscriptions, pp. 1-8. I now reprint my former readings and translations, with some improvements and a few additions, to accompany six plates which are based on excellent inked estampages, prepared recently under the personal South-Ind. Inser. Vol. I. p. 68. The same form of the name occurs in the Nalayiraprabandham. the sacred scriptures of the Tamil Vaishnavas. 2 South-Ind. Inser. Vol. I. p. 64. No. 133 on the Madras Survey Map of the Chingleput taluka. Compare South-Ind. Inser. Vol. III. p. 165. Two short inscriptions (Nos. 18 and 19) were only lately discovered by Mr. Venkayya. Of two others (Nos 25 and 26) no fresh impressions were taken, and they are consequently not included in the plates. Page #13 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.. [Vol. X. supervision of Rai Bahadur Venkayya. For the introductory remarks and the notes I have utilised some fresh materials which have accumulated since the time of the original publication. The language of the inscriptions is Sanskrit. Nos. 1-19, 25 and 26 are in prose, Nos. 20-24 in verse. The anthors of the inscriptions themselves inform us that they were members of the ancient southern dynasty of the Pallavas. As none of the inscriptions contains any date, we must try to fix their approximate time on palgeographical grounds. As the accompanying plates will show, the sculptors employed four different alphabets, three of which are of the southern type, while the fourth is in northern characters. I.-The majority of the short epigraphs on the monolith now styled "Dharmarajaraths" (Nos. 1-16) resemble the Mahendravili and Siyamangalam cave inscriptions which I have assigned to the Pallava king Mahendravarman 1. Among the names and surnames of the king who excavated the "Dharmaraja-ratha " we find twice Narasimha (Nos. 1 and 7), which seems to have been his actual name, while the remaining designations look like mere surnames. Among the successors of Mahendravarman I. there were two kings named Narasimhavarman. As the type of the alphabet is more archaic than that of the second set of inscriptions (which, as will appear presently, probably belongs to the time of Paramesvaravarman ... the fether of Narasimhavarman II.), the Narasimha of the "Dharmaraja-ratba" inscriptions may be identified with Narasimhavarman I, the son of Mahendravarman I. and the contemporary and enemy of the Western Chalukya king Pulakasin II. (A.D. 609-642). This identification is rendered almost certain by a reference to the published facsimile of the Badami inscription of Narasimhavarman I.;: the alphabet of this record is nearly identical with that of the "Dharmaraja-ratha " inscriptions. Consequently, the Dharmarija-ratha" must have been sculptared in the first half of the seventh century of our era. II.-The second, very florid niphabet is found in the inscriptions of the Pallava king Atyantakams on the monolith now styled " Ganesa temple " (No. 20), in the two caves called "Dharmarija-manda ps" (No. 21) and "Ramanuja-mandapa" (No. 22), and in a short inscription of the same king on the "Dharmarja-ratha" (No. 17). The same alphabet is emploved in the Kanchi inscriptions of Rajasimha and his son Mahendravarman (III.). The Kanchi inscriptions seem to call Rajasirha algo Narasimhavishnu, and they state that he was the Bon of Ugradanda,' the destroyer of Ranarasika's city.' Dr. Fleet was the first to point out that in one of the Kanchi inscriptions Ugradanda is named Paramesvara, and that the epithet Ranarasika refers to the Western Chalukya king Vikramaditya I. (A.D. 655 to 680). He thus established the identity of Paramesvara alias Ugradapda with the Pallava king Paramesvaravarman I., who, as we know from the Koram plates, crossed arms with Vikramaditya I. Dr. Fleet further concluded that Rajasimha alias Narasimhavishnu was the Pallava king Narasim bavarman II. of the copper-plate gran 8. This then was the king in whose time the Kailasanatha temple at Kanchi was built. The alphabet of Atyantakama's inscriptions at the Seven Pagodas agrees so closely with that of the Kailasanatha epigraphs that both must be assigned to about the same period. Now from verse 2 of No. 20 I venture to conclude that Atyantakama's actual name was Parametvara. Consequently, I propose to identify this Atyantakama with either Paramestaravarman I., the father of Rajasimha, or Paramesvaravarman II., the son of Rajasimha, - preferably with Paramesvaravarman I.. , There are, however, a few prose words in No. 20, line 12; No. 21, 1. 12; No. 23, 11. 16 and 17; and No. 24, 1. 16 ? Above, Vol. IV. p. 152 1., and Vol. VI. p. 320. The alphabet of the Trichinopoly cave inscription is more recent, and the opinion that it belongs to Mahendravarman I. (South-Ind. Insor. Vol. II. p. 341) cannot be upbeld. 1 Ind. Ant. Vol. IX. p. 100, and Dr. Fleet's Dyn. Kan. Distr. p. 328 1. + South-Ind. Insor. Vol. I. Nos. 24 sad 27, and Vol. II. Plate is. Dya. Kan. Distr. p. 329.

The second group of inscribed monuments at the Seven Pagodse would thus belong to about the third quarter of the seventh century, III.-The third alphabet is that of an insoription of the Pallava king Atiranachanda on the left of the cave at Saluvanguppam (No. 28) and of three short epigraphs : one at the top of the same cave (No. 25), another on the " Dharmaraja-raths" (No. 18), and a third near the " Gopis' Churn " (No. 19). It resembles, though it is not quite identical with, the alphabet of the Kagakudi plates of Nandivarman. The name (or surname) Atiranachapda is unknown from other sources. As the alphabet of stone inscriptions sometimes differs slightly from that of contomporaneous records on copper, there would be no objection to Assigning these records, as will be done in the sequel, to the time of Nandivarman, the contemporary of the Western Chalukya king Vikramaditya U. IV.-The last alphabet, an early kind of Nagari, is employed in the inscription on the right of the Saluvangappam cave (No. 24) and in a short label at the top of the same cave (No. 26). No. 24 is a copy of the first six verses of Atirapachanda's epigraph on the left of the same cave (No. 23), and No. 26 is a repetition of the label in the third alphabet which is engraved immediately above it (No. 25). The characters resemble those of the Nagari version on the Pattadakal pillar of the Western Chalukya king Kirtivarman II. As we know that the predecessor of this king, Vikramiditya II.,' took Kattohi from the Pallava king Nandivarman, it is perhaps not too bold to surmise that the inscriptions in the third and fourth alphabets belong to the reign of bis enemy Nandivarman, who would then have borne the surname Atirapachapda. The sudden collapse of the Pallava power at the hands of Vikramaditya IL may have been the reason why so msay of the excavations at the Seven Pagodas have remained unfinished. As I have remarked in South Indian Inscription Vol. I. p. 10, we meet with the same plurality of alphabets in the Kailasanatha templo a Katichi. The enclosure of this temple bears three tiers of identical inscriptions. The characters of the third tier are those of the epigraphs of Narasimhavarman II. The alphabets of the second and first tiers are, respectively, those of the left and right inscriptions of the siluvatguppam cave. Consequently they must have been added at a later date by Atiranaobanda (Nandivarman P). I am fully aware that my remarks on the third and fourth alphabets do not rest on quito firm ground. But, in the absence of further information, we may place the inscriptions written in both alphabets in the time immediately preceding the conquest of the Pallava territory by Vikramaditya II. (A.D. 733-784 to 746-747). The fact that a northern alphabet was employed along with a southern one suggests that the artisans were recruited from the north of India The two last columns of the accompanying table will show at a glance to which of the Pallaya kings of the third column I propose to assign each of the Pallava records of the Seven Pagodas. It is worth noting that, with his asual sagacity, Dr. Fergusson had already succeeded in fixing the approximate period of the remains at the Seven Pagodaw at about 650 to 700. The contents of the subjoined insoriptions are singularly uninteresting and devoid of historical facts. All that we learn from them is a string of names and surnames of three different Plato.

Pallava kings, and the fact that the excavations on which they are engraved were shrines of Isvara (Biva) and bore each the name of its respective founder. Thus the "Gadesa temple" (No. 20) and the "Dharmaraja-mapdapa" (No. 21) were called Atyantakama-Pallavesvaragriha, i.e. 'the fsvara temple of Atyantakama-Pallava.' On the " Dharmaraja-ratba," which had probably been founded by Narasimba(varman 1.) alias Atyantakima, the same name Beems to have been bestowed by his descendant (Paramesvaravarman I.] alias Atyantakama or Rapajaya (No. 17). The Saluvaiguppam cave bears the label Atiranachanda-Palla[vesvaragriha) (Nos. 25 and 26), i.e. the fsvara temple of Atiranachanda-Pallava.' The last column but one of the table on page 4 shows that each of the three Pallava kings Narasith ha, Paramosvara and Atirapachnoda bore the two surnames Srinidhi and Sribhara. In this connection I would like to mention certain Pallava coins from MAvalivaram which I saw in the cabinet of the Rev. E. Loventhal of Vellore. All of them bear on the obverse a bull (the crest of the Pallavas), and various legends above it. One of the coine, with a star on the reverse, reads Sribharah; another, with a fish on the reverse, Srini[dh]; and a third, with a cross on the rererse, Manapara. With the legend of the last coin compare the biruda Atimana in the inscription No. 9 of the "Dharmaraja-ratha." A.-INSCRIPTIONS ON THE DHARMARAJA-RATHA" AT MAVALIVARAM. Nos. 1-16 of these inscriptions consist of a number of words in the nominative case, which their first decipherers, Drs. Babington and Burnell, took for names of deities. From a comparison with the remaining inscriptions of the Seven Pagodas, where several of them recar, it follows, however, that they are biru das of & Pallava king wbose actual name seems to have been Narasimha (Nos. 1 and 7). Among these surnames, Atyantaksma, Srinidhi and Sribhara were borbe also by the two kings 'nientioned in the later inscriptions of the Seven Pagodas. Others appear again in the inscriptions of the Pallava king Rajasimha at Kafichi, vis. Parapara Bhuvanabhajana, Srimegha and Sarvatobhadra.

Chitramiya occurs as the name of a Pallava king in the Udayondiram plates of Nandivarmau (SouthInd. Insor.

Paramosvara is the only word in the whole inscription which looks like the actual name of the king. This view is suggested by the fact that two Pallava kings named Paramovaravarman are known from copper-plate granta; see South-Ind. Inser. Vol. 11. p.346 This birsda of Paramosvara occurs also in verse 8. The same had been & surname of his predecessor Narasimha; see No. 14. I.e. he is a devotee of siva.

The subjoined inscription is engraved on three copper-plates, each measuring about 91degx 41". They belong to the Patil of Rayagad in the Mahad taluks of the Kolaba District. The plates are strung on an oval ring whose diameters are 31 and 23". The edges of the plates are raised into rims to protect the writing. The seal on the ring bears in relief on a countersunk surface s standing boar faoing to the proper left. The weight of the plates together with the ring and seal is 140 toins. The writing is well engraved, but is full of mistakes and omissions. The latter are often very serious. For instance in the date (1. 29), the syllables otchhateshu are altogether omitted. There seem to be some omissions also in the name of the donee in line 32. We cannot be sure if the names of the donative villages have been correctly engraved in l. 32 f. The use of the upadhmaniya in lines 21, 23, 25 and 29 deserves to be noted. The historical portion of the subjoined record closely resembles that of the three Nerur copper-plates of Vijayaditya edited by Dr. Fleet, and the corresponding passage of the Kendard and the Vakkaleri plates of Kirtivarman II. The subjoined inscription is dated in the 8th year of the early Chalakya king Vijayaditya, when [six hundred] and twenty-five years of the Saka era had passed away, and records the grant of the villages named Jalla and ... niro!ana to a Brahmana by the king when his victorious camp was at Marivasati in Karahataka.

Niravadya-Punyavallabba,' the writer of the present grant, was the successor cf Sri Rama-Punyavallabha, who wrote in Baka-Samvat 616 the Harihar plates of Vinayaditya; and Niravadya Srimad-Anivarita Punyavallabha was the writer of the Kinchi inscription of Vikramaditya II. Dhanamjaya-Punyavallabha, the writer of the Kendor grant in Saka-Samvat 672, speaks of himself as Srimad-Anivarita Dhananjaya-Punyavallabha in the Vakkaleri plates of Saka-Samvat 679. It seems to me that we have four generations of writers mentioned in the foregoing grants, pis. Sri-Rama, Nirayadya, Anivarita and Dhanamjaya. Panyavallabha was evidently the family name. Niravadya seems to have been & biruda originally of king Vijayaditya and Anivarita of his son Vikramiditya II, T: due course, Niravadya became the name of the writer of Vijayaditya's grants and Anivarita of his son who wrote the Kanchi inscription of Vikramaditya II. The latter was apparently engraved not long after the accession of Vikramaditya, who seems to have conquered the Pallava capital soon after his coronation. The name Niravadya Srimad-Anivarita Panyavallabha bas probably to be explained as "the illastrious. Anivarita-Punyavallabha (son of) Niravadya," Anivarita's son was apparently Dhananjaya, who in the earlier Kendur inscription calls himself Dhananjaya-Papyavallabha, but prefixes the name of his father in the later Vakkaleri plates.

BY PANDIT RAM KARNA; JODHPUR. A short paper on this inscription has already been written by the late Professor Kielhorn, But as the full text of the inscription was not published by him, I was induced by Mr. D. R. Bhandarkar to prepare a fresh transcript, as far as practicable, with the help of the original stone which has now been sent to the Ajmer Museum by the kind permission of His Highness the Maharaja of Jodhpur. The inscription was originally discovered by Captain Burt "in the interior of a gateway leading to Mandir, distant one kos from Beejapoor, on the route from Odeypore to Sirohi near Mount aba. "3 But, according to local report, the stone was originally fixed in the wall of a solitary Jaina temple situated about 2 miles from the village of Bijapur in the Bali (Godwar) District of the Jodhpur State. It was subsequently removed to the dharmasala belonging to the Jaina mahajans of Bijapur, whence it was brought to the Historical Department of the State and is now kept in the Ajmer Museum. There are 32 lines of writing in this inscription covering a space of nearly 2' 8" broad by 1'4" high. The record is, on the whole, in a fair state of preservation; a considerable portion of it has, however, suffered from the effects of the weather. The first and second lines are very much worn out. There are, besides, a few letters here and there which have peeled off. The size of the letters is about " and the characters are Nagari (of the northern class of alphabets) 4 [The donoo's name has to be looked for in this compound perhaps nAtheracaturvedine is meant. - Bd.] * Jonr. of the As.

[VOL. X. resembling the Hareha inscription of Vigraharaja of Vikrama-Samvat 1080, as remarked by the late Professor Kielhor. The language of the inscription is throughout Sanskrit verse, excepting in lines 22 f. and S2. As regards orthography, no particular care seems to have been taken to distinguish between b and . The letter b occurs in the word danambuda in line 2; banadha, 11, 13 and 21 ; Calambate, 1. 20; bhavabdhi, 1. 22; Balabhadra', 1. 25; and bahubhiro, 1. 30. Consonants have, ss was usual in those days, been doubled after . Paragavarna rules have not been observed in their entirety. Generally, the anusvara has been used, yet instances of rasal compounds are also to be met with, e.g. in obhandanasaund a", line 5. There is very little difference between and d. In some places y has wrongly been engraved for p. 8 and s have sometimes been confounded. The sign for the upadhmaniya occurs only once (line 1) and its form is worthy of note. There are ornamental decorations below the word tri occur. ring thrice in the last line (32). Practically speaking, there are two sepamte inscriptions incised on one and the same stone. The first is dated (Vikramaj-Samvat 1053 (11. 19 and 22) and the date of the second is the Vikrama year 996 (11. 31 and 32). The first inscription extends from line 1 to line 22 and consists of 40 verses of a prasasti composed by Suryacharya (1. 21). "The prasasti opens with two verses in praise of the Jings, or Tirthamkaras as they are also called. Verse 3 apparently mentions a royal family whose name is unfortanately lost. In verse 4 we are introduced to prince Harivarman and his wife Ruchi. From Harivarman sprang Vidagdbe (v. 5), who is described in the second part of the inscription as & Kashtrakata. Vanudeva was the preceptor of Vidagdharaja ( v. 6), who imparted to the prince spiritual knowledge and induced him to erect a temple dedicated to the god Jina in the town of Hastikundi. The prince had himself weighed against gold, of which two-thirds were allotted to the god and the remainder to the Jaina preceptor (Vasudova). Vidagdha was succeeded by Mammata (v. 8) and Mam mata by Dhavala (v. 9). The last prince is eulogized in no less than ten verses. In verse 10 he is said to have given shelter to the armies of a king whose name is loet and of the lord of the Gurjaras, when Munjaraja had destroyed Aghata, the pride of Medapata (Mewar) and can sed them to floe. This Munjaraja, as correctly pointed out by the late Professor Kielhorn, must be the same as Vakpati-Munja of Malwa for whom we have the dates V.S. 1031, 1036 and 1050. The lord of the Gurjaras here referred to was probably no other than the Chaulukys sovereign Mularaja I. himself mentioned in verse 12 below. The prince whose name is not clear, was perhaps the ruler of Medapata, and it seems tempting to read his name as Khomana, but he appears to have flourished long prior to the time of Munja and cannot, therefore, be reasonably taken to be his contemporary. Aghata, which Manjaraja destroyed, is donbtless Ahad, near the prosent Udaipar station, from which a well known Gahlot clan derives its name, viz. Ahadiya. In verse 11 Dhavala is spoken of as having afforded protection to Mahendra against Durlabharija, Durlabharaja is correctly recognised by the late Professor Kielhorn to be the prince of that name, who was the brother of the Chaham na Vigraharaja of the Harsha inscription dated V.8. 1030. The name of Durlabharaja also occurs in the Bijolia and Kipsaria inscriptions. Mahendra has been correctly identified by the same learned professor with Mahendra, son of Vigrahapala, and grandson of Lakshmana in his paper on "The Chahamadas of Naddila." In verse 12 Dhavala is said to have given support to Dharanivaraha, whose power had been completely exterminated by Mularaja. The last prince is unquestionably the Chaulukya sovereign of that dame, A8 said above. But it is by no means certain who Dharapivaraha was. It is not unlikely that he was the Paramara king [This symbol is inserted over the pisarga and a Bore the line. Consequently it is doubtful if the symbol by ituelf can be taken as the upadhmaniya.--Ed.) 1 [ Some of the verses are numbered on the original store. But there is . mistake in the numbering which is made in vene 24 (marked 25) and which continues to the end. Consequently, there are only 10 verses in the inscription, while their cumber, according to the engraver, is 41.--Ed.) * Above, Vol. II. p. 119. * Above, Vol. IX. p. 71.

BIJAPUR INSCRIPTION OF DHAVALA OF HASTIKUNDI. of that name who according to tradition was the ruler of Nav-kot Marwar, and who is reported in an ancient Hindi verse to have distributed the nine forte (nao-kot) amongst his brothers.2 Verses 13-18 bestow conventional praise on Dhavala without conveying any historical information. Verse 19 tells us that he renounced the world, in his old age, after having placed his son Balaprasoda on the throne. The following two verses again are inerely eulogistic. Verse 22 says that the capital of Balaprasada was Hastikunnika (Hathindi). Verses 23-27 are devoted to the description of Hastikundi and contain nothing historical. . The next two verses speak of & suri named santibhadra who is mentioned in verse 30 to be the pupil of Vasudeva, doubtless the preceptor of Vidagdharaja referred to above in veree 6. Verse 33 informs us that the goshthi of Hastiku di renovated the temple of (Rishabhanatha ), the first Tirthamkara. In verses 36-37 we are told that the temple had first beon built by Vidagdharaja, but that after its restoration the image was installed by Santibhadra in the (Vikrama-) year 1053, on the 13th of the bright half of Magha. In the verse following, it is stated that Vidagdharaja had made a grant to the temple when he had himself weighed against gold and that afterwards Dhavala in conjunction with his son made a gift of a well called Pippalu. Verse 39 expresses a wish for the permanence of the temple, and verse 40 says that the prasasti was composed by Suryacharya. Then follows in prose the date given above, but with more details. It is Sunday, the 13th of the bright half of Magha of the Vikrama year 1053 when Pushya was the nakshatra. According to the late Professor Kielhorn, this corresponded to Sunday, the 24th January A.D. 997, when the 13th tithi of the bright half ended 7 h. 40 m. after mean sunrise. On this date, the god kishabhanatha was installed and the flag was hoisted. We are further informed that Mulaniyaka, i.e. the original image before renovation, had been set up by certain members of the goshthi, whose names are enumerated. The second part of the inscription, which is in itself an independent record, consists of 21 verses and extends from lines 23 to 32. This seems to have been added to the first because it specifies certain endowments made in favour of the same Jaina temple and the same Jaina preceptor as are mentioned in the first. The genealogy, as far as Mammata is also repeated here. It opens with the praise of the Jains religion. There lived & prince named Harivarma (verse 2) who was succeeded by his son Vidagdharaja. The latter is described as "the kalpausiksha of the garden which was the illustrious Rashtrakuta race" (verse 3). From him sprang Mammata (verse 4). From verses 5-7 we learn that the temple had been originally erected by Vidagdha for his guru Balabhadra and Matmata renewed the grant made by Vidagdha in favour of him, the nature of which is described in verses 8-17, viz. (1) one rupee for each twenty loads (pravahana or potha) carried for sale ; (2) one rapee on each cart filied (whether going from or by the village ); (3) one karsha for a ghada at each oil-mill; (4) 13 chollikas (?) of betel leaves by the Bhattas; (5) Pellaka-pellaka (?) by the gamblers; (6) one adhaka (=4 seers) of wheat and barley from each araghafta, i.e. well with a water-wheel : (7) five palas for pedda (?); (8) one vimsopakad coin for each bhara (=2,000 palas); (9) ten palas from each bhira of articles, such as cotton, copper, saffron, guna-resin (pura, i.e. guggulu), madder, and so forth; and (10) one manaka for each drona of wheat, mung, barley, salt, rala, and such other objects as can be measured. This is what was granted by Vidagdha. chappaya . maMDIvara 1 sAmaMta, huvI ajamera 2 siddhasava / gaDha puMgakha 3 gajamacahuvI lIdrava bhANa bhuva / palA palha parabadda 5, bhojarAjA jAlaMdhara / jIgarAja gharaghATa , hubI hos pArakara 8 // navakITa kirADU ra saMjugata, thira paMvArahara thappiyA / dharaNIvarAha ghara bhAiyAM, kITa vATa jU jU kiyA / 1 / * Jour.

BY RAI BAHADUR HIRA LAL, B.A.; NAGPUR. The subjoined inscription was found at Kuruspal, a village in the Bastar State, by Rai Bahadur Diwan Baijnath, who kindly sont me impressions of it together with a transcript from the original stone. I, however, waited for better impressions from the Archeological Department and these I received in due course, but as the writing is illegible owing to the roughness and bad state of the stone, it has not been possible to secure very satisfactory copies. Under the circumstances I have not been able to decipler the record satisfactorily and the difficulty has been aggravated by the fact that almost the whole of the left side of the stone is broken off carrying away about 5 or 6 letters of many lines, and some letters on the right sido also are gone. It seems almost impossible to restore the lost portion and it is unfortunate that some letters belonging to proper names have disappeared. However, there is still enough left to invest the record with some importance. I have, therefore, endeavoured to elicit this portion without paying much attention to the unimportant passages, sach, for instance, as those enumerating the names of the inhabitants or castes which I have mostly allowed to remain as read by Mr. Baijnath from the original stone, from line 24 to the bottom. The record contains altogether 39 lines covering a space 3' 8" X 2' on the stone, which in its present mutilated form measures 5' 3" X 2'4". These are the greatest lengths and breadths which are not uniform throughout, because the stone is broken on all sides. The characters are bold averaging about 1", but many of them are worn out. They belong to the Nagari alphabet, those appearing in the antiquated form being i, e, cha, na, dha, bha, ra, sa, and sa. The language is Sanskrit, partly prose and partly verse, the composition not being free from grammatical or spelling mistakes. The birudas or family titles from the commencement to line 6 are in prose, the composition being in a style somewhat characteristic of the southern records ; compare, for instance, the Nadagam plates of Vajrahasta (above, Vol. IV. p. 189). From line 21 there is again prose dealing with tbe business portion of the record, which ends with the usual imprecatory verses and the engraver's name, etc., in prose, Underneath the record are carved the figures of a cow, a linga, a dagger, a shield and the sun, the signification of which as imprecatory symbols has been elsewhere explained. The inscription records the grant by king Somesvaradeva of a village whose name cannot be made out, but from the boundaries it appears that to its south was the Indranadi and to its east a village named Aranga and to the west Kapalika. The name of the village to the north is also not clear. The birudas of the family to which Somesvaradeva belonged correspond to those mentioned in the Narayanpal' inscription with a few additions and variations. They state that the king belonged to the Nagavamsa and to the Kasyapa gotra. He had a tiger crest and snake banner and acquired sovereignty of Chakrakuta through the favour of the goddess Vindhyavasini. In connection with the last biruda I have already referred to this inscription (above, Vol. IX. p. 179) where I have shown that Chakrakuta lay somewhere near the present capital of Bastar. The personal eulogy of the king who is styled Maharajadhiraja Paramabhattaraka Parmegvara, informs us that Somesvara was the son of Dharavarsha, whose grandson was Kanharadeva. The latter was only heir-apparent at the time our inscription was engraved. There is nothing new in this genealogy 48 we already Above, Vol. IX. p. 161. * Ibid. p. 311. * [This statement refers evidently to the Kanharadeva mentioned in 1.7 of the text. It is, however, open to question if this Darivarsha is identical with his namesake mentioned in l. 11, in view of the fact that a king named Nagatideva is introduced in 1. 9. Avain, there is no necessity to mention the grandson of Dharavarsha in 1. 7, as the record belongs to the time of his son Somesvars. But as the inscription is considerably damaged, the qnestion must be left to be decided by fatare researches -Ed.] Page #39 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 26 EPIGRAPHIA INDICA. (VOL. X. know it from the Narayanpal inscription. The subjoined record, however, refers to certain contemporary kings, and had the whole of this portion been capable of being deciphered or restored, it would probably have solved some important historical problems. Most of these kings are mentioned here by the names of their countries or capitals, these quite clear being Udra, Lanji, Ratnapura, Lemna, Vengi, Bhadrapattana, and Vajra. Owing to the mutilated state of the record it is not certain whether Some vara claimed to have conquered them, but one im. plication is plain, vis, that they were his rivals. In verse 8 it is stated that, having killed the powerful king Madhurantaka in battle and having put other kings to trouble, he became, as it were, a junior Narayana by imitating the latter's action in having killed Madhurs and a host of other domons. The next two verses speak of the burning of Vengi and subjugation of Bhadrapattaos and Vajra, his greatest exploit apparently being the killing of Madhurantaka. From his Bajapura plates the latter appears to have occo pied Chakrakuta, of which somesvara claimed to be the hereditary ruler. The burning of capital towns seems to have been a favourite form of annoyance to unfriendly rulers and was perhaps regarded as a great achierement. Our hero boasts of having burnt Vongi like the great Arjana who fired the Khapdava forest.' This was at the most a tit for tat, as we find Chakrakuta itself burnt several times by the kings of the countries on the other side of the Godavari (see above, Vol. IX.p. 179). Vengi was the country between the Godavari and the Krishna, and our insoription mentions the name of Virachoda, who, as we know from other sources, was the viceroy of this country appointed by his father. Somesvara seems to have added another laurel to his fame by burning the forests of the Vajra country. The aeme of exaggeration is reached in the vainglorious boast contained in the 11th versa iu which it is stated that Somesvars took 6 lakhs and 96 villages of the Kosala country. Of course Kobala here refers to MahA-Kosala or Dakshina-Kosala which extended from the confines of Berar to Orissa and from Amaraka taka to his own territory in Bastar. It is doubtful whether even this extensivo area ever contained as many as 6 lakhs of villages, but even supposing that it did, there is absolutely nothing to justify the boast that Somegvara ever became king of that country. It is possible that he may have raided a part of Kosals and may bave held it in his possession until driven out again. This surmise seems to be supported by Jajalladeva's inscription dated 1114 A.D. Jajalladeva was king of Dakshina-Kosala ruling at Ratanpur, and in his eulogy referred to above, he is statel to have seized in battle Somesvara, having slain an immense army. No details are given as to who Someevara was, but from synchronistio allusions it is apparent that he was identical with the donor of our inscription. The Narayanpal6 epigraph, which is dated 1111 A.D., explicitly mentions that Kanharadeva became king on the death of Some vara, and we know from the Barsurinscription that he was living in 1108 A.D. The Ratanpar epigraph was engraved in 1114 and these dates are so close to each other as to leave little doubt in the matter. Returning to the list of contries, we know Udrs to be the old name of Orissa, Lanji, a well-known tract in the district of Balaghat, Ratnapara, the capital of the Hajhayas in Dakshina-Kosala, and Vongi, the country between the God&vari and Krishna. Lemna may be Lavana, the eastern tract of the Raipur district. So far, the inscription does not give us any new information, but the remaining two names, vis. Vajra and Bhadrapattana, are interesting. Vajra or Vayiragaram is mentioned in Tamil literature and inscriptions. The earliest reference to Vajra is perhaps in the Tamil poem Silappadigaram 10 which is believed to have been written between 110 and 140 A.D. It is stated in this poem that the Chola king Karikala 1 Above, Vol. IX. p. 315 f. ? Ibid. p. 174 See Ind. Ant. Vol. VI. p. 63, and above, Vol. IV. p. 36. * South-Ind. Inger. Vol. I. p. 51.

KURUSPAL STONE INSCRIPTION OF SOMESVARADEVA. 27 was on terms of friendship with the kings of Vajra, Magadha, and Avanti. How Vajra fared in later times there are no materials at present to elicit, bat during the 10th and 11th centuries it was apparently not so important or strong as in the early ages. A noteworthy fact is that in Tamil inscriptions it is always mentioned in conjunction with Chakrakota or Sakkarakkottam, and since I have localised the latter in Bastar, it will now be easy to see why Vayiragaram must be Wairagarh which adjoins the Bastar State and is situated not very far away from the place where the old Chakrakata lay. This inscription itself confirms the identification of Chakrakata, with Bastar, as it calls Somesvaradeva the lord of Chakrakuta, and the happy quibble which the composer of our inscription has introduced in regard to the name Vajral referring to diamonds and its conqueror as a 'diamond piercer,' to my mind definitely settles the question of the identification which does not appear to have been suggested or attempted before. Wairigarh was a well known diamond mine in olden days and it continued to be famous even in the times of Akbar to which the following quotation from the Ain-i-Akbart testifies 'Kallams is an ancient city of considerable importance; it is noted for its buffaloes. In the vicinity is & zsmiddar named Babjeo of the Gond tribe, more generally known as Chand; a force of 1,000 horse and 40,000 foot is under his command. Birigach which has a diamond mine and where figured cloths and other stuffs are woven, is under his authority. It is but a short time since that, he wrested it from another chief. Wild elephants abound. The final note of Abul Fazl abont wild elephants inoidentally enables us to see how it was that Rajendra-Chola (Kulottunga I.) carried off mary herds of elephants from Vayiragaram mentioned in the Tiruvorriyur inacription. This is a further confirmation of the identity of the place. Shonld additional evidence be required as to Wairagarh having been & capital of ruling kings, it is furnished by its ancient remains and the strong local tradition according to which a line of Mana kings held sway for some time. Mana or Mani is a semi-aboriginal caste, whone origin is obscure. They say that they came from Manikgarb in the Nizam's Dominions and my belief is that they were a branch of the Nagavamsi kings who worshipped Durga under the name of Manikyadevi.? It may be noted that the correct name of Wairagarh is Vajrakare, which means diamond mine and has nothing to do with garl or fort. The real meaning baving been forgotten, folk-etymology stepped in a verring that the name meant the fort of Waira, a contraction of Vairsba, a ubiquitous king, wbos capitals are found spread over numerous parts of India. The story spun out, while it tickled the pride of the local people brought conviction home in view of the fact that a fort existed there. This fort is, however, a modern one (see Cdaningham's Reports, Vol. VII. p. 127). Jarrett's Edition, Vol. II. pp. 229 and 280. Even prior to this, the Musalmias knew of the Wsiragarh diamond mines. In the Burhan-i Ma, arir from which Major J. S. King has compiled history of the Bahmani dy. Dasty, it is stated that in the year 879 (A.D. 1474) Sultan Kubammad Sbih II. sat to state on the throne and gave a public audience to the amire and nobility and in elegant language explained as follows: "The announcers of news have informed me that the distriot of Wairagadh which is in the possion of Jatak Riya, the ungrateful, is . inine of diamonds; and I am resolved that that district also, like all the others, shall be brought into the possession of the servants of this court; and that in those districts the rights of Lolam shall be introduced and the symbols of infidelity and darkness be obliterated." It is stated that one 'Adil Khan was sent on this minion. He laid siege to the fortress at Wairigarh, whereupou Jatuk Raya surrendered (Ind. Ant. Vol. XXVIII. p. 286). Now in the Yeotual district of Berar. It is quite close to Chandi * South-Ind. Inor. Vol. III. pp. 188-4 * Cunningham's Reports, Vol. VII. p. 127. * Col. Luis Smith's Settlement Report of Chindi istrict (1869), p. 61. The dates given in this report are conjectural, because the Colonel thought that the Gonds conquered the country about 870 A.D., and therefore the Minks being their predecessons must have rulod before this. In the Chanda District Gazetteer (1909) it has been however, clearly showa why the Gronds could not have come into possessiou of Chands until the 18th pr 14th century A.D. I see for iustance above, Vol. III. p. 818, where Somofvars is called 's worshipper of the besvenly and holy lotus feet of the blessed Minikyadovi. See also Elliott's Report on the Dependency of Bostar (1861), page 18, where he way that the present family of Bastar Raju were worshipping the godde Minkeshwaree before they came to Bastar and that on their coming here she assumed the name of Dunteshwarve under which appellation she is still worshipped. My own belief is that with the change of the dynasty the old name of the goddess was changed and the Magikyadevi.of the Nagayam is became the Dantesvari of the present family. 2 Page #41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 28 EPIGRAPHIA INDICA. [VOL. X The goddess, apparently, gave her name to the fort and to her worshippers, who, on being ousted, mixed with the local Gonds and deteriorated so as to be regarded as a branch of the Gond tribe. Apart from all these considerations, there is epigraphical evidence of the existence of a family of chiefs at Wairagarh who are mentioned in the Ratanpur inscription of Jajalladeval (dated 1114 A.D.) as paying tribute to the Haihayas of Dakshipa-Kosala. The reference to Bhadrapattana, which is merely a variant of Bhadravati for metrical parposes, is again a point of great importance, becanbe while on the one hand it affords still another proof of Wairagarh's identity, on the other hand it confirms what I have elsewhere endeavoured to prove, vis. that the present Bhandak is the old Bhadravati. Our inscription mentions Bhadrapattana in, conjunction with the Vajra country, which shows that it was quite close to Vajra. Vajra being Wairagarh, there is no place in its vicinity answering to Bhadrapattana except Bhandak, which is only about 70 miles from Wairagarh. There can be no doubt as to the antiquity of the place, and local tradition strongly supports its identification with Bhadravati. It once enjoyed the cele brity of being the capital of Maha-Kosala and it was this place which Hiuen Tsiang visited. With regard to the geographical names occurring in the grant portion of the inscription, the villages Aranga and Kapalika I am unable to trace, bat Indranadi is the present Indravati, about a mile from Kuruspal which flowed through Chakrakaita. The modern representative of Chakrakuta is probably Chitrakuta which may be & corraption of the older name.

No. 5.-TWO KURUSPAL INSORIPTIONS OF DHARANA-MAHADEVI OF THE TIME OF SOMESVARADEVA. Br RAI BAHADUR HIRA LAL, B.A.; NAGPUR. Kuruspal is a village about a mile off from Narayanpall and 22 miles from Jagdalpur, the capital of the Bastar State. The name is probably & corruption of Krishoapura as Nariyappal is of Narayanapura. The place contains numerous rains, among which there is a tank called Bani Tarai. The first of the subjoined inscriptions had been built upside down in one of the steps of this tank and was found by Rai Bahadur Diwan Baijnath who supplied me with 3 impressions together with one of another fragmentary stone found in a field. The tank slab probably belonged to a temple built in the middle of the tank, and dedicated apparently to the god Kimesvara (Siva) referred to in the inscription. Both these inscriptions record the grant of land near Kalamba (now untraceable), and the gift was made in both cases by queen Dharana-Mahadevi, who was apparently the consorts of somesvaradava. This DharapaMahadevi is also mentioned in the Narayanpal inscription, apparently as a transferer of the land granted by Ghunda-Mahadevi. It is worthy of note that some names of the recipients mentioned See above, Vol. IX. page 161. * The text was subsequently compared with fresh imprensions supplied by the Government Bpigraphist for India. . It may be noted that there is nothing definite to show that she ww his wife. For sught one knows, she might have been his mothen Page #45 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 32 EPIGRAPHIA INDICA. [Vol. X. there (for instance Mahanaka Davadasa) also figure in the tank slab. The latter also mentions certain tenants who are stated to be residents of Narayanapure and Temara, both of which are close to Kuruspal. The subjoined inscriptions appear to be older than the Narayanpal record of Saka 1033. Both say that they were issued during the reign of Maharajadhiraja Somesvaradeva, who had of course died prior to Saka-Samvat 1033. Neither of them is dated, but on the tank slab I have read the name of the samvatsara as Saumya, which prior to s. 1033 fell in 8. 991. It therefore appears that they were issued about the year 1069 A.D. Somosvaradova is stated to be born of the Naga race and has all the birudas attached to his name as in the Narayanpal inscription. The subjoined records afford no new historical information, but would perhaps be of some use when finally fixing the periods of reign of the Bastar branch of Sinda kings. As further inscriptions have been found in Kuruspal which will appear later on, it seems necessary to add here the distinguishing features of the slabs under notice. The tank slab measures 6' 10" X 2' 2' and the writing consisting of 26 lines covers 3'4" 2' 1". On the top is a linga in the middle with the sun and the moon to the left and 5 circles ic a row to the right, probably representing the remaining 5 planets which give their names to the week days and indicating that the grant is to last as long as they endure. At the bottom are engraved a cow, a dagger and shield and a donkey Associating with a pig which is an obscene imprecation explained in the text. The fragmentary slab is 49" long and 15" or 16* broad. There are 16 lines of writing on it, most of which are incomplete. The first 3 lines together with portions of the fourth and fifth are on a piece altogether broken off from the main slab. The greatest length of the space covered by the writing is 27" and breadth 15". The slab has no figures on the top, but at the bottom there are the same figures as on the tank slab. The tank slab was engraved by one Damodara Sutradhara. The average size of the letters which are Nagari is 11". The language is bad Sanskrit with the exception of the stereotyped biru davali. The noticeable orthographical peculiarity is that in some places ja is used for ya as in line 11. The fragmentary inscription does not give the name of its engraver.

No. 6.-SUNARPAL STONE INSCRIPTION OF JAYASIMHADEVA. BY RAI BAHADUR HIRA LAL, B.A.; NAGPUR. Sunarpal is a village about 10 miles from Narayanpal' in the Bastar State. I think the name is a corruption of Suvarnapura, which was probably prevalent during the rule of the Nagavamsi kings of Bastar. A fragmentary inscription of that dynasty was found here by Rai Bahadur Diwan Baijnath who kindly sent me 4 impressions from which I edit it. The slab on which it is inscribed measures 4'x1' 5" and the writing covers 4' x 1' 5" including the imprecatory figures at the bottom which occupy 6". These figures are a cow and a calf, a dagger and shield, a linga and the sun and the moon as found in other Nagavamei inscriptions. The upper layer of a portion of the left corner at the top has gone off damaging the first 5 lines which deal with the birudas of the king, but they can be restored from other allied records. The writing is bold, but weather-worn. The characters are Nagari. The average size of the letters is 1". The inscription seems to have been composed by a person who knew very little of Sanskrit, if at all. He had no doubt committed to memory the birudas of the ruling king, but where long samasas were involved, he remembered only portions of them and wrote them down without caring whether they conveyed any meaning or not. For instance, in lines 6 and 7 we find kanja-kinjalka-punja-pinjarita-bhramarayamana for maha-Mahesvara-charanakafija-kinjalka-punja-pinjarita-bhramarayamaza. His imprecatory verses at the end are milarly amusing. He seems to have been a native of the United Provinces which may be inferred from the vernacular word dinha' (gave) of which apparently he did not know the Sanskrit equivalent. He has, however, endeavoured his best to give his composition a Sanskrit look and we may therefore allow that the language is Sanskrit and pass on without referring to orthographical peculiarities, as they are merely blunders. The inscription is of no importance excepting that it furnishes the name of a new Nagavamsi king which will be useful in making out a dynastic list. It gives no date, nor does it mention the name of the place where the grant was made. It does not even say what was granted, but from the imprecations it may be inferred that it was some land. Perhaps Adhakada was the name of the village granted. The gift was apparently made by the queens of Jayasimhadeva of the Naga race, who belonged to the Kasyapa-gotra and was the supreme lord of Bhogavati, having the tiger with a calf as his crest. He is called Rajadhiraja Maharaja sri-Jayasimhadeva. The names of witnesses before whom the grant was made are recorded as usual. 40 1 2 64 R 6* In line 11, the panchapradhan[ah], i.e. the five ministers, seem to be mentioned. Four of them are enumerated. But the fifth is not mentioned as such. In Eastern Chalukya copperplate grants, the king generally makes gifts in the presence of the matrin (councillor), purohita (family priest), senapati (commander of the army), yuvaraju (heir-apparent) and the dauvarika (door-keeper). The executors of the Chellar plates of Vira-Choda and of the Pithapuram plates of the same king are said to be the pancha-pradhanah, i.e. the five ministers.

KURUSPAL STONE INSCRIPTION OF SOMESVARADEVA. 37 No. 7.-KURUSPAL STONE INSCRIPTION OF SOMESVARADEVA; . SAKA-SAMVAT 1019. BY RAI BAHADUR HIBA LAL, B.A.; NAGPUR. If the remoteness and inaccessibility of Kuruspal in the Bastar State of the Central Provinces have prevented the antiquarian from witnessing its ancient remains, temples, tanks, wells and gardens, the publication of inscriptions from that place have at least made him familiar with its antiquity and the importance it once enjoyed about a thousand years ago. Local tradition avers that there were in that quondam town Sat upar sat kori baoli or 147 step-wells and as many tanks, and Rai Babadur Baijnath, Diwan of Bastar, assures me that the story has a great deal of truth in it. Among the ruins on the bank of a tank known as Chorya-tarai was found the present record, which like its three predecessors refers to the reign of the Nagavamsi king Somesvaradeva. There is, however, an agreeable departure in that it is dated. This is a point which renders its publication imperative in spite of the mutilated and extremely bad condition of the stone on which it is inscribed. The stone in fact is not en whole. It is broken into two pieces, and erosion has bad its ample share in obliterating the letters. The stone with both the pieces put together measures 5' 01" X 2' 11", the length of the inscribed portion being 3' 1' with 24 lines, each about 21" long. The average size of the letters, which belong to the Nagari alphabet, is about 1". The language is Sanskrit prose and there are no peculiar featares in orthography other than those found and noticed in other inscriptions from Kuruspal. . The object of the inscription is apparently to record a dedication of a lamp to the god L[o]kesvara by the inhabitants of a village not named. It appears that a subscription of 11 gadyanakas (coins) was raised by them. The dedication was made in the Sake year 1019 during the victorions reign of the illustrious Somesvaradeva, who belonged to the Naga family, who was the lord of Bhogavati, the best of cities; the space between the ten quarters was resounding with the deep sound from the sbrill drums proclaiming whose brilliant victories; whose crest was a cow and tiger; who was, as it were, the sun to the lotus of the Chhinda family; who resembled a bee which was rendered yellow by the mass of the pollen on the lotus, i.e. the feet of the great (god) Mahesvara; who was the store-house of statesmanship; who was the shelter of the whole world; who was like Arjuna in using the bow; who was the lord of kings; who was by birth as beautiful as the god of love ; who was terrible to his opponents (Pratigandabhairava); who was like Purtravas among kings; who resembled the demi-gods in enjoyments; who was brave like Narayana, glorious like Indra, true like Harischandra, and in subduing passion, like Mabadevs, and who had acquired his kingdom by the force of his own arms. In this birudivali, some of the titles are noteworthy as they were also borne by Madhurantakadeva of the Rajapura plates, whom Somesvaradeva is stated to have killed in battle in the long inscription found at Kuruspal. This would mean that both belonged to the same family, and that Somesvara killed his relative and himself became a king It does not, however, appear necessary to discuss this point before the Telugu inscriptions of these kings are published. Returning to the date, it is to be regretted that all the original details are not available owing to the stone Laving broken off. The only thing that can be gleaned with certainty is the tithi saptami and the nakshatra Svati, the day which looks like Sanaischara or Saturday, the paksha and the month having become obliterated or lost. The figures of the year in the impression are also very indistinct, bat Rai Bahadir Baijnath has satisfied himself from the original stone that it is 1019. Luckily, the cyclic year favara-sanhvatsara is also given. From Above, Vol. IX. p. 181. * Above, p. 26.

He states that the Isvarasamvatsara occurred in the Saks year 1020, so the year referred to in the inscription must be the one which had expired and that in these two years, there was only one saptami combined with a Saturday and the Svati nakshatra, and this tithi belonged to the bright fortnight of the Sravana month in Saka 1020 current.

The north-east rim of the pillary at its lower end, is also damaged slightly and consequently, the end of 11. 79 to 83 on the east face and the beginning of 11. 106 to 110 on the north face have disappeared. The latter gap (in the imprecatory verses) has, however, been filled up with the help of similar passages occurring elsewhere. The break in the north-east rim has again, been the cause of one or more blanks in 11., 8 and 9 of inscription B. Except for these defects, the two inscriptions are in a state of excellent preservation and are written in old Kanarese characters of the period to which the inscriptions belong. They present a striking similarity to those of the Mantrawadi, Sirar and Nidagandi records edited by Dr. Fleet.? As regards paleography, the initial vowels a, a, i, u and e occur in their tisual forms (e.g. in 11. 7, 64, 52, 58 and 82). Long i when attached to consonants is distinguished from the short by & small loop made inside the circular i-mark at its base (compare, e.g. the i of pall:" with the i of Osime in 1.-55). In Tagaduro (. 36 and 40), in Malapalli (11. 43 and 55), in Mulasaragha (1. 47) and in Puruva- (1.33), the symbol for long is marked in a slightly different way from the ordinary form of it as used e.g. in the u of bhu in 11. 4, 97 and 107 (twice). This variant is like the subscript y with its bend to the left not quite pronounced. Short - affixed to the consonants k and ris marked by a hook (bending downwards) attached to the right side of the letter; whereas, in other cases it is a vertical ts-like tube affixed from below to the consonant to which it belongs. When the u-mark is lengthened in the case of k and r a second hook (also turned downwards) is added the first, however, being in this case, reversed for the sake of convenience. Dis marked by a similar hook attached to the left side of the talekaftu, if one exists, or, somewhere on that side of the letter according to the whim of the writer. It may be noted that long e is denoted in a few instances by the e-mark being made to end in a loop as in the case of the long i (Jine, 1. 3; -vare, 1. 15; and geyyuttire (wrongly for geyyuttire), L. 26); whereas, in others, it is not distinguished from the short e compare e.g. kude, 1. 46 with Sena, 1. 47). The ai-symbol occurs only once in l. 72 in the word nairatiya (a mistake for nairsitya). Here, the stroke slanting to the right over the taleka1f14 of the letter may be compared with the corresponding stroke (but slanting to the left) of the secondary ai in old Nagari inscriptions. The componnd vowel-mark 0, which consists of a and e, is simple in its formation, and consists of two inverted hooks placed one at each end of the top-stroke-the one to the right representing a and that to the left e. The anusvara is marked by & small circle or, more frequently, by a dot and is always placed at the right top-corner of the letter to which it belongs. The wpadhmaniya in ll. 106 and 107 is represented by the symbol for r u); while, the jihvamuliya, which may be expected at the end of 1. 99, does not occur there. With regard to consonants, it may be stated that all the five test letters discussed by Dr. Fleet in his study of ancient Kanarege records, are represented in the subjoined inscriptions - vis, kh, i, j, b and l. Kh in khanda- (1. 42) and in duhkham= (1. 99 f.) is of the later carsive form. N occurs as the first member of the conjanct consonant siga, at the beginning of 1. 61 and is of the closed type. I appears ten times and in only one instance (j of jna in 1. 1) is of the square type exactly similar to that which occurs in the Mantrawati inscription of Amoghavarsba 1. In the other nine instances, it is of the same type but closed. The letter b is more frequently used and is always of the closed type, except in Sembalattura (1. 56) where the subscript b is, however, formed as in modern Kanarese. L is also of frequent 1 Above, Vol. VII. pp. 198 ff. * See, for example, his remarks on palaeography in the Nilgund inscription of Amogbavarsha I.

It is noteworthy that in its secondary form is always of the square type (see ll at the beginning of 11. 5 and 23, in 1. 7 and in 11, 21 and 63). The palatal occurs in its subscript form in jna (1. 1) and as the first component in the conjunct consonant ficha (11. 21 and 32). The rare consonants gh and chh are also found, the first in 1. 47 and the second in its subscript form in 11. 99 and 101. Dental d is hardly, if at all, distinguished from the lingual. Ph, in the only case where it occurs (1. 98), is marked by a small cross stroke on its right side, which distinguishes it from the unaspirate. The repha, as the first com ponent of a conjunct consonant, is denoted by a wavy line affixed to the top of the consonant; but, when the conjunct consonant ends in i, the repha is affixed at the root of the circular i-symbol, so as to make an angle with it. The final form of occurs in 1. 35. As for orthography, it may be noted that ra is used for ri (in nairatiya, 1. 72), that consonants are invariably .doubled after a repha with which they occur in a conjunct form, that in some Kanarese words nasals are changed into anusvara before consonants of their class (temkana, 11. 57, 58, 59, 60, etc.; karumgal, 1. 61; talumdale, 1. 77; adumbu, 1. 78; kadegombu, 1. 81) while, in some others they are not (Sembalattura, 1. 56; karungal, 1. 60 f.; banda, 1. 62; ante, 1. 63); that vice versa the anusvara is changed into the corresponding nasal twice in 1. 54 before the words nakara and narasasana (for narasasana) and that in the latter as well as in sishyar (1. 50) the palatal and the sibilant s are wrongly used, one for the other. The language of the record is Sanskrit (poetry, verses 1 to 5 and prese 1. 4 f.) and Kanarese prose (11. 5 to 94). The description of the boundary line contains some rare words whose interpretation has not yet been satisfactorily made out. My notes on the translation will show that some of these are very closely allied to Tamil. Of the 110 lines which make up inscription A., the first 55 deal with the grant proper. Ll. 56 to 94 give a detailed description of the boundary of the village granted and the remaining 11. 95 to 110 contain the usual imprecatory verses. With an invocation to the doctrine (sasana) of the Jinendras (verse 1) and a short prefatory line in Sanskrit which mentions the family of the Pallavas, we are introduced to Pallavadhiraja, who is said to have conquered the whole earth, up to its four corners. His son was Nolambadhiraja, of whom it is stated that he was worshipped by all the simantas, by which, we have, perhaps, to understand that he brought them under his control and consolidated the work of his father. To this Nolamhadhiraja and Jaabbe (1. 19 f.), daughter of Rachamalla-Vermadi and Mahadeviyar (11. 16 and 17), was Horn Mahendradhiraja-Nolamba (1. 24), described as having acquired the five great scunds madhigata-panchamahasabda)-the distinguishing biruda of a fendatory rulers-though er on he is styled the favourite of (the goddesses) Fortune and the Earth (eristhvivallabha) like any other paramount sovereign. Mahendradhiraja belonged to the Pallava family and was an ornament of the Pallava race (Pallavakula-tilaka) (11. 20 to 23). It is orded of him that he destroyed the race of Mahabali (i. e. the Banas) (1. 24 f.) and was pying, at the time of the record A., the palace (irimada) at Tagaduru (11. 36 and 37). In aka year eight hundred and fifteen, when the cyclic year Paridhavin was current, on 14 Compare Mr. Venkayya's remarks on the palaeography of the Ranastipundi grant of Vimaladitya (above, VI. p. 348).

This epithet was also borne by Dantivarma-Maharaja of the Triplicane inscription (above, Vol. VIII 9.23 and p. 293, note 4) and by the mahamandaleitara Chiddagadeva-Maharaja (Annual Report on Epigraphy 06, Part II. paragraph 5). Page #76 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ No. 14.] TWO NOLAMBA INSCRIPTIONS FROM DHARMAPURI. 57 Thursday, the fifth tithi of the bright half of Ashadha, while the nakshatra was PurvaPhalguni and Jupiter roge in (i.e. entered) the sign Dhanus,-two private individuals Nidhiyanna and Chandiyanna-ons of a merchant from Srimangala-built a Jaina temple (basads) at Tagadura (l. 40). The former of these received from the king, free from all encumbrances, the village of Mulapalli (1. 43 f.) and in his turn made it over to Kanakasenasiddhantada-Bhatara, pupil of, Vinayasenasiddhantada-Bhatars of the Pogariya-gana, the Sen-anvays and the Mula-samgha (ll. 47 to 51), for repairs, additions, worship, etc. in that basadi (1. 42 .). The witnesses to this transaction were the four samayins, the widu, nakara, and the narasasana (11. 52 to 55). Inscription B. which consists of 10 lines is written at the bottom of A. (all round the four faces of the pillar) in the same old Kanarese script as A. and in Kanarese prose. It records that a certain Lokayys got from Ayyapadeva, son of Mahendra-Nolamba, the village of Buduguru and made a gift of it to the Jains temple built by Nidhiyanna-apparently identical with the one mentioned in A. The founder Nidhiyana is also said to have presented a garden (?) for worship in the same temple. From the foregoing it is evident that the subjoined records belong to the Nolambas wbo claimed descent from the Pallavas. The territory over which the Nolambas originally beld sway has been suggested to be the small district of Nolambalge, mentioned in two Rashtrakata records of about the 9th century A.D., which, later on, appears to have received the appellation of Nolambavadi thirty-two thousand. This province, which must have been originally confined to the districts of Tumkur and Chitaldroog in the Mysore State, and part at least of the Anaptapur District in the Madras Presidency, was gradually extended as the Nolambas rose into power, and in the 10th century A.D. included the major portion of the Bellary, Bangalore and Kolar districts. Portions of Salem and North Arcot must also have been in the possession of the Nolambas at the time of the subjoined record. In his volumes on Chitaldroog and Tumkur (Vols. XI and XII of the Epigraphia Oarna- . tica) Mr. Rice has collected a large nnmber of Nolamba records which give us a fair outline of the history of that dynasty. Two pillar inscriptions from Hemavati in the Madaksira talaks of the Anantapur District and two from the town of Madaksira itself, have been included by Samayins are literally the members of a congregation or religion. Here, perhaps, the reference is to the four main divisions of the Jainas who, like the Hindus, recognise the four castes, pis. the Brahmapa, Kshatriya, ras. The significance of the next three terins nads, nakara and narafanana is not clear. The first means country or country-folk'; the second, town or town.folk' and the third perhaps signifies ralers of men or officers of government. What the author wants to say may be that the witnesses to the transaction were the whole Jains community consisting of country-folk,' 'town-folk' and officers. Mr. Venkayya suggests that the three terms in question, with the reflexive pronoun ivare which follows them, may be meant to serve as a clanse or plaining what has been stated before. In other words, it may mean that the samayins who were witnesses to the present grant, are to be considered in themselves as good as the nada, the nakara and the warafasana who, perhaps in ordinary cases, bore witness to public transactions. "Epigraphia Carnatica, Vol. XI. CI. Nos. 33 and 34 and Introduction, p. 7. . Dr. Fleet's Kanaress Dynasties, p. 318. That Nolambsvidi included a part, if not the whole of the Anantapur District is proved by the fact that Henjera, i... the modera Homivati, the capital of the Nolambas, is situated in the Madaksira taluka of that district. As regards the influence which the Nolambas exercised about the end of the 9th century A.D. in the northern portion of the Salen District, we have the evidence of the subjoined records at Dharmapuri. About this period, North Arcot too must have been subject to Nolamba influence ; for, the Ambur inscriptions of the time of Npipatungavikramsvarman refer to a cattle raid organimd by the Nolamba against Amsiyur (above, Vol. IV. p. 180). The original territory of the Nolambas, however, was in the Tumkar and Chitaldroog districts of the Mysore State where their sway in the past is still testified to by the existence of . class of ryots known as Nomabas and of town-names like Nonsvinkere (possibly & corruption of Nonambeskere), Ayyamsogala (... Ayyapamangala, so called after Ayyape, son of Mabeodra), Nolambapastad, Nannivile oto. (Mr. Rice's Mysore Gazetteer, Vol. II. pp. 168 and 500). Page #77 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 58 EPIGRAPHIA INDICA. [VOL. X. Mr. Rice in his Tumkur volume. One of the Hemavati epigrapbs furnishes the following genealogy of the Nolambas : Trinaynna-Pallava of the Isvara-vamga 1. Mangala-Nombadbiraja 2. Simhapota 3. Charupoonera 4. Polalchora-Nomba 5. Mahendra 6. Ayyapadeva-Nanniga 7. Appiga 8. Diliparasai This record, which belongs to the time of No. 8 Diliparasa, is dated in Saka 864 and is thus later than the Dharmapuri inscription (A.) by 50 years, 1.6. about two generations. Consequently No. 5 Mahendra may be identical with Mahendradhiraja-Nolamba or Mahendra-Nolamba uf inscription (A.) and No. 6 Ayyapadeva-Nanniga, with Ayyapadeva "the asylam of truth (nanni)" of inscription (B.). This identification further enables us to identify No. 4 Polalchora-Nomba And No. 3 Charuponners with Nolambadhiraja and Pallavadhirajao of the Dharmapari record. We do not know of any dated records of these two last mentioned kings; but Mr. Rice refers to Pome from the Chitaldroog District which may prove that Pallavadhiraja-Charuponnera of the foregoing genealogy-son of Simhapota- was a contemporary of the Rashtrakuta king Ep. Carn. Vol. XII. Si. Nos. 24, 29, 35 and 36. ? Tripayans-Pallava is synonymous with Trilochans-Pallava, Mukkanti-Pallava or Mokkanti-Kidureti (as the name sometimes appears in Teluga inscriptions). Trilochana was the mythical Pallava king who was ruling the Telugu country prior to the acivent of the Chalukyas under Vijayadity of Ayodby. In the mythical account of the Eastern Chalukyas given in copper plates from the time of Vimaliditya downwards, Trilochana. Pallava is mentioned as the king who opposed Vijayaditya in his victorious cainpaign against the south and perhaps also killed him (above, Vol. VI. p. 352, text, 11. 16 and 17). Trilochana is also mentioned in Telugu inscriptions as the contemporary of the early Chola kiag Karikala to whom he was subordinate. Mr. Venkayya places Karikala (and consequently also Trinayans-Pallava) roughly about the end of the 5th century A.D. The Isvara-vamsa to which Tripayapa-Pallars belonged (as disclosed by the Hernavati record) is not mentioned elsewhere. One record from Nandalur (No. 580 of the Madras Epigraphical collection for 1907) actually traces Mukkanti-Kaduvetti to the third eye of Sivs (Isvara). The Pallavas of Kaichi traced their descent from Brahma, through many Puronic sages, to the Mahabharata hero Asvatthaman. These two names appear more like general appellations and may bave been borne by any one of the Nolamba kings who claimed descent from the Pallava family; whereas, those given in the genealogical record from Hemarati were, perhaps, the real names of the two Nolamba rulers who immediately preceded Mahendradbiraja. * Ep. Carn, Vol. XI. CI Non. 33 and 34. Page #78 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ No. 14.] TWO NOLAMBA INSCRIPTIONS FROM DHARMAPURI. 59 Jagattudga-Prabhutavarsba-Govinda III. whose dates range from A.D. 794 to 8131 and was, as a fendatory of that sovereign, ruling the Nolambalge one thousand and Nirgunda three hundred districts. Coming to Nolambadhiraja or Polalchora-Nomba of the Hemavati inscription, we gather from the subjoined record that he marriod Jaabbe, the daughter of the Western Ganga king Riobamalla-Vermmadi. This identical relationship is mentioned in two other records of Mahendra-one from Hemavati in the Anantapur District and the other from Baragur in the Sira taluka of the Tumkur District. These two inscriptions tell us that Jaabbe was the daughter of Rachamalla and the younger sister of Nitimarga-Permali. According to Dr. Fleet, Rachamalla, the father-in-law of Nolambidhiraja, is identical with Satyavakya-Rajamalla (A.D. 840 and 870-71). As the earliest record hitherto discovered of Mahendradbiraja-Nolamba is dated in Saba 800, we may tentatively fix the lower limit of Nolambadhiraja's reign at A.D.87879. And as the father of Nolambadhiraja, viz. Pallavadbirija, was a feudatory of the Rashtrakuta king Govinda III. (A.D. 794 to 813), the upper limit would be 818 A.D. Thus, Nolambadhiraja-the second king mentioned in the subjoined record-may be presumed to have ruled betwoen A.D. 813 and A.D. 878-79, thongh the period covered by this interval is an unusually long one. I Wo arrive at the same result if we go back two generations from the earliest available date of Mahendradhirijs, vis. A.D. 878-79 (Si. 38), and shall be near to the close of Govinda's reign. Still another synchro. nism from a Chitaldroog record may help us to settle the probable period of Charuponnera. Charuponnera's father Simhapota is therein mentioned (ibid. CI. 8.) as the subordinate of certain Permanadi, who, as the name suggesta, was evidently a Westeru Ganga king. According to Mr. Rice, Permanadi was a title which the early Western Ganga king Sriparusba-Muttarass "took away from the king of Kancbi" (Mysore Gazetteer, Vol. I. p. 314 and Ep. Carn. Vol. VIII. Nr. 35). Dr. Floet assigns this Sriparushs to the period .A.D. 765 to 805 ( Ep. Ind. Vol. VI. p. 64). Consequently, the time of Chiroponners, son of Simbapota, must have been subsequent to A.D. 805 at was already found to be the case. Ep. Cars, Vol. XII. Si. Nos, 24 and 38. Both of these inscriptions have been translated by Mr. Rice on pp. 91 and 94 of his Tumkur volume. Here, he cou necta Jayabbey-ohb of mahadavi of both the records, with Nolambadhirajaratange which precedee #long parenthetical clause giving the parentage of Jiyabbe. By separating the expression Nolambadairajaratange into Nolambadhirajara and tange, be arrives at the conclusion that the sister (tange) of Nolambadhiraja was married to the Ganga king Bachamalls. Jaabbe (or Jayabbe), we know, was the queen of Nolambadhiraja sad mother of Mahendra. If, accordingly, the phrase Jayabbey-enabol mahadevi is to be correctly connected with the word Nolambadhiraja, the latter must, according to strict gram. matical rules, end in the dative. But this would not be the case if we divide, as Mr. Bice does, the phrasa Nolambadhirajaratange into Nolambadhirajara and tange. I think it is more natural to divide it into Nolambadhirajar and atange. That this is actually intended is apparent from what we find in the subjoined record which states that Mahondradbiraja was born to Nolambadhirajo (Nolambadhirajarggar) and to Jiabbe (Jaabbegan). Mr. Rice's wrong interpretation of this phrase is evidently also responsible for the statement in the Mysore Gazettoer, Vol. I. p. 307, that "Pallavidhiraja's daughter was married to the Gaoga king Rajaunalla." An inscription at Chikka-Madhure in the Challakere tiluks (Ep. Cars. Vol. XI. Cl. 33), however, seems to prove that the Gangas and the Kolambas were related by intermarriage already in the reign of Simhapita. It is here stated that Permanadi (i.e. the Western Ganga king Sripurasha-Muttaras) married the daughter's daughter of Simhapota * Above, Vol. VI. p. 66. Mr. Rise suggests that the Nolambadhiraja mentioned in an undated Gangs recon of Nitimirga at Kendatti-Madivals (Ep. Cars. Vol. X. KL. 79) and the Nolamba king of the same name mentioned in tbe Pallava record at Bhoga-Nandi (ind. CL. 26), also updated, may both be identical with Nolambadhirija. Polalchors (ibid. Introduction, pp. xvili and ir-father of Malondradhiraja and brother-in-law of Nitimings. This suggestion does not appear to be correct; for, Niti marga-Porminadigal under whom the former Nolambadhirkja is stated to have been ruling the district Gangarusasira is, I believe, identical with NitimargaPermanadi Ranavikrama whom Dr. Floet places between A.D. 810 and 840 and not with Nitimarge, the goidentified son of Satyavakya Bachamalla. Nolamb@birsja of the Nandi record does not appear to have been a feudatory chief but an independent Nolamba sovereign who was ruling the earth' (prithvi-rajyar gey) without Any overlord. Very probably he is identical with Immadi or Irmadi-Nolambadbiraja whose record of Saka 890 is found at Kandavira not very far from Naudi (Bombay Gasetteer, Vol. L Part Il. p. 832 and Ep. Cars. Vol. X. CL. 45). Nitimarga, the brother-in-law of Nolambidhiraja-Polslchora, did not, probably, succeed to the Ganga throne; for, we know from the Hunkuru inscription that Satyavakya Rajamalla's chosen successor (yuranija) was Butar (above, Vol. VI. p. 66). 12 Page #79 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ EPIGRAPHIA INDICA. (Vou. X. Of Mahendradhiraja-Nolamba the subjoined record states that he destroyed the family of the Mahabalis (i.e. the Banas). The Baragur and the Hemavati recordo report that Mahendradhiraja" uprooted Chora and others of his kinsmen." The Chora here mentioned may refer to the Cholas of the Teluga country, a branch of whom appears to have been ruling about Hemivati and Nidagal about that period. How these Cholas of the Telugu country were 'kinsmen of the Nolambas, is not quite clear. But in an inscription from the Maddagiri taluka of the Tumkur District (Ep. Carn. Vol. XII. Mi. No. 102) Chaladankakara Choliga, who is referred to about 900 A.D. by Mr. Rice, is stated to have been of Pallava descent. A later Chola chief of Nidugal had the prefix Vira-Nonamba' added to his name. It may, perhaps, thus be possible to explain how the Choras mentioned in the Baragur and Hemavati inscriptions were kinsmen of the Nolambas. The statement that Mahendradhiraja "destroyed the Banas " is not a mere boast; for, the very existence of the subjoined records (A.) and (B.) almost on the borders of, if not actually within, the Bana country, proves beyond doubt the occupation of that part of the country by the Nolambas. From an inscription at Budidepalle in the Punganar Zamindari which, on palaeographical grounds may be referred to about the 9th century A.D., we learn that the Nolamba raided Puli-nadu (in the Bapa territory) in the reign of MabavaliBanarasa Banavidyadbara. If this Banavidyadhara .be identical with the Banavidyadhara Mababali-Vanarayar" who was governing (the country) to the west of the Telugu road "as a subordinate of the Ganga-Pallava king Nripatunga, his date would fall into the last quarter of the 9th century A.D. And, as Mahendradhiraja's conquest of the Banas is to be referred to about the same period, the raid on Poli-nadu recorded in the Budidepalle inscription may be supposed to have occurred in the early part of the reign of Mahendradhiraja and would, in that case, be bat the commencement of his campaign against the Baras, which eventually earned for him the title destroyer of the Mahabali-race.' Pallava sovereignty came to an end about the middle of the Sth century A.D. and in the subsequent straggle for power and sapremacy among the various tribes that owed allegiance to the Pallavas, the Nolambas were often ranged against the Banas. The incidents recorded in the Bangavadi viragal, for instance, show that during the reign of the Ganga-Pallava king Vijaya-Narasimhavikramavarman, Skanda-Banadhirajs met in battle Dadiya (Dadiga), Banaraja and Mahendravikrama. During the reign of the Vaidumba-Maharaja GandaTrinetra, Banarasa and Vaidamba-maharaja marched on Soremati and were met on the battlefield by the Nolamba, Rachamalla and Dadiga. An inscription at Pedda-Tippasamudram in the Caddepah District states that the Vaidumba king Ganda-Trinetra fought with Nolombi (i.e. the Nolamba king) on the battlefield just referred to. The tirayal at Chedalls near Panganurlo belongs to the reign of Mahavali-Banarasa and states that the king on behalf of the An undated inscription in the Bowringpet taluks of the Kolar District (Ep. Carn. Vol. X. Bp. 84) states that Mahondridhiraja was ruling the district Gangarusasira. This indicates his feudatory position, though the record does not expressly stato it. At any rate, it must be referred to a period before A.D. 878 when, as will be shown in the sequel, Mahendra must have extended his kingdom and become an independent sovereign. The feudatory position of Mahoods thus suggested would reduce the long period of rule of Nolambadhirijs, arrived at on the previous page, by at least a few years. Annual Report on Epigraphy for 1904-05, Part II. paragraph & The Melagini inscription of Saka 896 refers to . Pallava prince named Cborayya-Nolamba (Ep. Cars, Vol. X. Mb. 84).

We have already referred to the raid into Puli-nadu by the Nolamts during the reign of Banavidyadhara. In the reign of the Bana king Vijayadityan Virachalamani Prabhumeru, a certain Kaduvatti Muttarasan, perhaps connected with the Nolanbas, attacked Koyatur, the modern Laddigam near Punganur2 in the Bana territory. Thus, in these early conflicts we always see the Nolambas opposed to the Banas and it is not unlikely that herein we have to seek for the cause which led to the destruction or complete conquest of the Banas by the Nolamba king Mahendradhiraja-Nolamba which is claimed for him in the Dharmapuri inscription A. It will also be easy, now, to see how Nolamba records came to exist in such large numbers in the Bangalore and Kolar districts of the Mysore State which apparently belonged partly to Gangavadi 96,0003 and partly also to Perumbanappadi*--the territory of the Bapas. Mahendra before he entered into bostilities with the Gangas and the Bapas appears to have been a subordinate of the former raling the Gangarusasira. What led to his hostilities with the Gangas it is not possible to say at present. The fact that RacheyaGanga, as stated in the Iggali inscription, died in battle against the Nolamba (i.e. Mahendradhiraja) about A.D. 891-927 and that Ereyappa (A.D. 908 to 938) "governed the Gangavadi province as a united whole after depriving all his enemies of their power "8 shows clearly that Mahendradhiraja, at least during his.lifetime, held under subjection a pretty large portion of the Gangavadi province. This perhaps accounts also for the existence of an intrusive record of his time at Tayalur in the Mandya taluka of the Mysore District (the very heart of the Ganga country) which gives for Mahendra the date Saka 817-the latest known for him so far. It will be enough to state before closing this paragraph, that the Nolambas started a petty state in and around Hemavati in the Tumkur District about the beginning of the 8th century A.D. and continuing to hold it as the subordinates of the Rashtrakutas and the Gangas, they fell into frequent conflicts with the Banas, the Vaidumbas and the Cholas and even with their overlords the Gangas. About the end of the 9th century A.D. they found a favourable opportunity and rose to eminence under Mahendradhiraja-Nolamba. TWO NOLAMBA INSCRIPTIONS FROM DHARMAPURI. 61 A new name in the succession list of the Nolambas which, as will be shown below, has to be placed between Mahendra and his son Ayyapa, has apparently been missed by Mr. Rice in his treatment of the chronology of that family. From an inscription at Avani in the Mulbagal taluka of the Kolar District,10 it appears as if Mahendra had a brother called Iriva-Nolamba who was born of a different mother.. The inscription states that Divabbarasi or Divalamba, born of the Kadamba family, was the chief queen (agra-mahishi) of Polalchora, who, as stated 1 No. 542 of the Madras Epigraphical collection for 1906. 2 Annual Report on Epigraphy for 1906-07, Part II. paragraph 38. Bp. No. 13 of Mr. Rice's Epigraphia Carnatica Vol. X. refers to an earlier conquest of the same place and states that the conqueror Madhava-Muttarasar belonged to the Ganga race. Kolahalapura, the modern Kolar, was built by the mythical Ganga king Kolahala in the great Gangavadivisbays. Bempur (Begur) twelve in the Bangalore District was granted to one of his subordinates by Ereyappa who was ruling over the Gangavadi 96,000. The large number of Ganga records on stone both in the Bangalore and Kolar districts prove that these districts were included in the Ganga dominions. In the Bangalore District a good portion of the agricultural population of the Wokkaliga sect belong to a subdivision called Gangadikara. This name, according to Mr. Rice, is derived from Gangavadi- the country of which these people were the original inhabitants. Mulbagal, Chintamani and Bowringpet talukas of the Kolar District bear traces of the supremacy of the Bapa kings over these parts; Mr. Rice's Mysore Gazetteer, Vol. II. p. 105. Nolambadhiraja, father of Mahendra, was ruling the same district as a feudatory of the Gangas; see above, p. 59, footnote 3. It is not unlikely that, in the matter of succession to the Ganga throne after the death of Rajamalla, there were disputes between his son Nitimarga (not identified) and the yuraraja Satyavakya Butuga I. the actual successor of Rajamalla. Perhaps Mahendra Lelped his brother-in-law Nitimarga against Butuga I. Above Vol. VI. p. 66. Ep. Carn. Vol. III. Md. 13. 8 Ibid. p. 49. 10 Ibid. Vol. X, Mb. 38. Page #81 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 62 EPIGRAPHIA INDICA. [VOL. X. above, is identical with Nolambadhiraja, father of Mahendra. From the way in which IrivaNolamba is introduced in the inscription, it looks as. if he was born of Divakamba after Mahendra's succession to the throne, or, if born earlier, his claims to succession had been overlooked in preference to those of Mahendra, who had perhaps stronger support than Iriva-Nolamba. Still it is not possible to assert that, after Mahendra, the succession passed on direct to his son Ayyapa. The only sure date for Ayyapa hitherto known is Saka 841.1 Between this and Saka 817, the latest known date for Mahendra, there is an interval of nearly one generation. Mr. Rice refers to two inscriptions of the time of Nolambadhiraja-Nolipayya, from the Maddagiri taluka of the Tumkur District, one of which supplies the date Saka 820, Paingala. This Nolambadhiraja-Nolipayya is believed by Mr. Rice to be the same as Ayyapa. But we know that the latter's distinctive surname was Nanniga and not Nolipayya. It is not impossible, therefore; that Iriva-Nolamba, the son of Divalamba and step-brother of Mahendra succeeded the latter under the name Nolambadhiraja-Nolipayya. If this conjecture is proved by future researches to be correct, it follows that Iriva-Nolamba mentioned in the Avani record was the son of Divalamba and not her grandson (Dilipayya Iriva-Nolamba) as Mr. Rice pats it. Unfortunately the record is not dated. Otherwise, it would have given us the date of Mahendra's death and that of the succession of Nolipayya; for, it states that Divalamba on the death of Mahendra bailt a temple and called it Nolamba-Narayaneevara after Nolamba-Narayana, one of Mahendra's birudas. She also granted the village of Avinasi (Avani) and called it Polalchoramangala, perhaps after the name of her husband and in it constructed the tank Divalabbasamudra after her own name. Ayyapadeva, son of Mahendra, must have succeeded Nolipayya. Of him we learn from inscription (B.) that he had the biruda "the asylum of truth (nanni)." It is this biruda evidently that accounts for his other name Nappiga or Nanniga, which occurs in his inscriptions. He was the contemporary of the Ganga king Ereyappa and about A.D. 938 fought with the latter's help the battle of Tumbepadi against Viramahendra whom Dr. Fleet has identified with the Eastern Chalukya king Chalukya-Bhima II. The only date available for Ayyapa from inscriptions published hitherto has been Saka 841, Isvara A.D. 918-19. Although Ayyapa must, in the early part of his reign have been at war with the Gangas," while the latter were attempting to regain what they had ceded to Ayyapa's father Mahendradhiraja, be, later on, became their friend as appears from his war against the common foe,7 the Eastern Chalukya king Chalukya-Bhima II. If the statements made in the Kaluchumbarra grant of Amma II. 1-Ibid. Vol. XII, Si. 89. The Saka date 841 does not agree with the cyclic year Vikrama. It is two years too early. The same cyclic year without the Saka date is given for Ayya padeva in Ep. Carn. Vol. XI, JI. 29. But Cd. 62 of the same volume gives the correct cyclic year Iavara which corresponded to Saka-Samvat 841 current. Ibid. Mi. Nos. 27 and 52. Nolambadhiraja-Nolipayya (-Nulipayya) receives the surname Iriva-Nolamba Nolipayya (Nulipayya) in two records from the Kolar District (Ep. Carn. Vol. X. Kl. 198 and Bp. 4). If this refers to Dilipayya, the grandson of Mahendra, as Mr. Rice takes it, it appears to have been applied to him in accordance with the custom by which grandchildren are often named after their grandfathers; we may thus have to presume that Dilipayya's surname was not that of his direct grandfather Mahendra but that of the latter's brother Iriva-Nolamba Nolipayya (I.). Ibid. Introduction, p. xix. Evidently the mistake is due to his taking Divabbarasi and Divalabbarasi to be two distinct individuals. But the record does not admit of any such interpretation. Above, Vol. VI. p. 47. 6 Sce, for example, Ep. Carn. Vol. XII. Mi. 71. The Nolambas seem to have been in conflict with the Eastern Chalukyas from still earlier times. GunagaVijayaditya III. (A.D. 344 to 888) is stated to have "cut off the head of Mangi in battle." The Maliyapundi grant of Amma II. (above, Vol. IX. p. 48 f.) says that this Mangi was "the king of the great Nodambarashtra (i.e. the Nolambavadi country)." We do not know of any ruler of Nodambarashtra about this period, that bore the nanie or surname Mangi. The long interval between 814 and 878 A.D., noticed already, must have counted more than one Nolamba king besides Nolambadhiraja-Polalchora. Perhaps Mangi was one of these. Nombadhiraja, the first historical ancestor of the Nolambas, was, according to the Homavati inscription, known to the Karnatas (ie. the Kashtrakutas) as Mangala. The Mangi of the Maliyapundi grant might have been named after this early Mangala. Page #82 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ No. 14.] TWO NOLAMBA INSCRIPTIONS FROM DHARMAPURI. 63 are to be taken as literally true, Ayyapa must have fallen in the fight with Chalukya-Bhima II. Dr. Fleet places this event about the end of Ereyappa's reign, i.e. between A.D. 934 and 938. Accordingly, we may perhaps infer that Ayyapa ruled from Saka 841 (=A.D. 918-19) to Saka 860 (A.D. 938-39). But his records registered by Mr. Rice in the volumes of the Epigraphia Carnatica do not assign to him dates later than A.D. 920. After Ayynpa the family appears to have gradually declined till it was subjugated by the Chola king Rajaraja I. of Tanjore in A.D. 998-99.3 The Nolamba occupation of Tagaduru which is established by the existence in it of the records of Mahendra and his son Ayyapa is corroborated by another inscription on a broken pillar discovered in the Mariyamman temple at old Dharmapuri. It registers the grant of a tank (?) called Marudaneri by Mahendra-Nolamba in Baka 800 (corresponding to the cyclic year Vilambi) to the teacher Ponnera-goravar who, as the suffix goravar indicates, must have been a Saiva. It is also recorded in this inscription that the tank after repair was placed by the teacher in the hands of the samayins. On this occasion, the merchants (evidently those of Tagadura), among whom figure Chandiyanna and N[i]dhiyanna, the builders of the Jains basadi recorded in inscription A., (assigned ) tolls on certain commodities as a devadina. The inscription being broken, it is not possible to say to what particular temple the devadana was intended. The record at any rate supplies us with two important facts, vis. (1) that already, in Saka 800 (the earliest date for Mahendra, known also from the Baragura record ) Mahendra bad occupied Dharmapuri and the surrounding country, and (2) that the Saiys and the Jaina faiths samaya) were fourishing side by side at Tagadiru under the patronage of the Nolamba kings towards the close of the 9th century A.D. Still another fragmentary inscription on & pillar of black granite in the Mallikarjana temple at old Dharmapuri? begins with the phrase svasti Pallav-anvayaya and introduces Nolambadhiraja and the Ganga king (Rachamalla) in the very same terms as inscription A. The record does not appear to have contained any Saka date but the month, fortnight, tithi, week-day, etc. are given on one of the matilated 1 Above, Vol. VII. p. 187, text line 38. * In the Deoli plates of the Rashtra kuta king Krishna III., dated in Saks 882, Pallava king named Appiga i wid to have been defeated by Krishna III. (Above, Vol. IV, p. 191). It is not unlikely that this Annige was the son of Ayyaps. The earliest Chola inscription mentioned in the Epigraphia Carnatica (Vol. X. Introduction, p. xxiv) is one of Madiregonda Ko-Parakesarivarmaa. Mr. Rice bimself doubts if this could be attributed to the early Chols king Paraptaka I. The next sure record is one of Rajarija 1. from the Hoskore taluks (Ep. Cars. Vol. IX. Ht 111). Rajaraja's conquest of Gangapidi, Bulambapadi and Tadiyapadi are mentioned for the first time in bis records of the 14th year. Consequently, we have to soppose that Rajaraja overran these provinces in A.D. 998-99, but perhaps allowed the rulers to continue governing their kingdoms as Chola feudatories. For, Ht. 111 states that ia Saka 920--the very year in which Rajaraja mast have entered Mysore-Gannarasa, son of Ayyapadeva (apparently a Nolamba) was ruling a portion of Daligavadi m feudatory of the Chola king. In (Suka 928) the 16th year of Rajaraja, a certain Nolambadhiraja made a grans it his capacity the general of the Chola emperor (Ep. Carn. Vol. X. Mb. 208). . Nolambadbiraja Cborayys, with Nolamba attributes, was ruling in Baka 983 also as a tributary of the Chala king Mummadi-Chols (Rajarijs I.) (ibid. Ct. 118). In the 25th year of Rajarija I. (ic. A.D. 1009) Tagadur-Dada was raled by a Chols subordinate named Pasicbavap Brahmadhirayap (Madru Epigraphical collection for 1909, No. 254) and was included in the Mulviyi rijys in the reigu of the Vijayanagara king Devaraya I. (ibid. No. 251). It may be pointed out that Kl. 75, which Mr. Rice supposed to be one of Rajaraja I, dated in his 7th year (ibid. Introduction, p. xxiv), is record of Rajaraja II.; for the introductory phrase pa marumiga polil-elu occurs in some of the Tamil records of the latter. * No. 348 of the Madras Epigraphical collection for 1901. See Dr. Kittel's Kannada-English Dictionary, #. v. gorara and above, Vol. VII, pp. 200 and 202. It may be noted that guraradiga! is also used as an honorifie title attached to the names of Jsins teachers. * Seo abore, p. 57, footnote 1.

X. faccs.Tbe donee here was a certain Bhairavasakti-Bhatara of Nandi. Bhairavasakti, as his name indientes, 'must have been a Saiva preceptor like Ponnora-goravar of the record just quoted, and Nandi is undoubtedly the village of that name at the foot of the historic bill Nandagiri in the Kolar District. Tagaduru, in which the Jaisa temple was built by the merchants Nidhiyanna and Chan. diyanna, has been identified with the modern Dharmapuri where the pillar was found. Neither the Jaina temple nor the palace (srimada) referred to in 1. 36 could now be traced. Tagaduru was, at this time, perbaps, a very important city, and from what is said of it in an undated inscription on a stone sct up on the bund of the big tank at old Dharmapuri, it was, as it were, "a reflected image of the whole earth; for in it were: - this Saiva teacher Vidderasi; the temples Kali-Choresvara, Pallavesvara, the great Bhogesvara, the magnificent and spotless Nannesvara and Bhujangesvara of Kaichi which shone in its imperial (?) fame; the enclosing walls (prikara) and the pleasure-gardens (nandana-vana) of kings who were as powerful as lions.'' The village Mulapalli which was granted to the Jaina temple and the two other villages which touched its boundary line have been kindly identified for me by Mr. C. Hayavadana Rao, B.A., B.L. He writes :-Mulapalli is probably represented by the modern village of Mulakadu, 9 miles west of Dharmapuri. Sembalatturu may be Semmanahalli, now a railway station on the Morappur-Dharmapuri section of the South Indian Railway, and Buduguru is apparently Buduganhalli, about 7 miles south of Dharmapuri." It may be noted that Budugura which is mentioned in 1. 80 of (A.), is the object of the grant in inscription (B.). 1 Bhadrapa[da-na*]sada bahula-pakshada tadi ge*lyum Brihaspati-raram un Rerati-[nakshatramun Vriddhiyambudu wity a-yogamu*]mn-age Kanne-sankrantiya tat-ka[lado*]!=. The details of this date, which is probably one of Mahendrad biraja, were submitted to Professor Jacobi of Bonn for verification. He remarks :"Kanya-samkranti fell on Thursday (1) 21st August 891 AD. which day was Bhadrapada ba.di. 3. But the moon had left Revati and stood in Asvini and the yoga Vriddhi was just over and Dhruve was the current yoga (2) 25th Angust 880, but this was Bbadrapada be. di. 2 with nakshatra Revati and yoga Vsiddhi. These are the only possible years." ? Above, Vol. VI, p. 331. In two later inscriptions of about tbe 12th century A.D. found at Dharmapuri (Nos. 307 and 308 of the Malras Epigraphical collection for 1901) the place is called Tagadur in Tagadur-nadu, a sub-division of the Ganga country (Ganga-nadu). It is not known when and why the name of the town was changed to Dharmapurl. The Madras Manual of Administration, Vol. III. p. 271 states that it is derived from the name of a local chief called Dbarmarajah, who is not known to any epigraphical records. It is doubtful also if we conld connect the name Dharmapuri with Dbarm mavolal which is mentioned in the Baragur reccrd of the Nolamba kiog Mabendra, as having been ruled by Parama-Ma badevi, a lady of the royal household. In the records of this period found at Dharmapuri and in the Tamil poem Purananaru, the place is known only as Tagaduru. I have been informed by Mr. C. Hayavadana Rao, B.A., B.L., who inspected the place, that "a few hundred yards from the temple of Mallikarjuus in old Dharmapuri and just opposite the European cemetery, there is a small slab bearing Jaina figures." This perhaps is the only relic of the Jaina basadi built by Nidhiyappa and Chandiyanna at Tagaduru (Dharmapuri). * No. 309 of the Madras-Epigraphical collection for 1901. The old Kanarese characters in which this record is written are beautifully engraved and present a box-headed type which is unique. They may be referred to about the same period as the Nolacobs records. Vidderasi (ie. Vidyarasi) in whose praise the Kauarese verses are composed must have been a teacher of great fame. Perhaps he was one of the two preceptors of the Kalamukha ascetic Mallikarjuna of Madura mentioned in an inscription from Kodumbaur (No. 129 of the Madras Epigraphical collection for 1907). 6 The demonstrative this' is used with reference to a figure of the ascetic engraved on the slab, below the inscription. i The temple of Cbolesvara at Kadabactur, a village quite close to Dharmapuri, is, according to Mr. Hayavadana Rao, "a typical Cbo!a temple and contains numerous inscriptions on its walls in Telugu and Tamil." He thinks that this may represent the old Kali-Choresvara. 1 The verse runs : Kali-Chorosvara-[Pallave]svara-maba-Bhogesvar-ottung -nirmmala-Napvesvara-kirtti-Sasana-lasat-Kauchi-Bhujangesvara. ravvala-kaytirava-bhupa-Dandana-vana-prakara samsthaandiAenelak=ellam padichandam=aytu Tagadur-i Vidderafindrarim.

(Ll. 52 to 55.) The witnesses to this (transaction) are the four samayins, the nadu, the nakara and the narasasana (i.e. the rulers of men, officers of Government): only these. (LI. 56 to 94.)

(Ep. Carn. Vol. VIII. Nr. Nos. 35 and 36) and one of the 12th century (ibid. Nr. 37) as the guru of the Ganga king Rachamalla. Some of his disciples were Srivijaya, Santideva, Dayapala and Kamalabhadra. Vadiraja and his pupils are mentioned in the Sravana-Belgola epitaph of Mallishena (above, Vol. III. p. 187 f.) as belonging to about the 11th century A.D. Consequently, Vadiraja Kanakasena-Bhattaraka of these records must have been the guru of the Ganga king Rachamalla III. who ruled from A.D. 989 to 1005 (above, Vol. VIII. p. 50). 2 Kuraki is not given in Dr. Kittel's Kannada-English Dictionary. The word kurike means 'a small village. In the description of boundaries it is very unlikely that an unspecified village would be mentioned. Accordingly, I take kuruki as tentatively equivalent to guruchi or gurige, the former of which is the name or a tree and the latter that of a plant. Alru is the same as alive or alipa which means ruin, waste. It also means the burning (of forest fire) beyond the limit. Perhaps per-alvu is to be explained as 'big waste,' though its exact significance is not clear to me. I have taken kelagana (kelagana) in the sense of eastern'; compare the Tamil word ki?. 5 Gadare is perhaps synonymous with kadara, and ulugu means attached to, or loving. As the kadara (mimosa) plants could be poetically said to be attached to one another when they are densely grown, I have taken tentatively, the phrase ulugu-gadare to mean 's mimosa-bush.' Kombu in Tamil means the outlet of a tank. Hence kadegombu may denote the remote (kade) outlet,' 1 Dr. Winslow explains taludalai as the shrub Clerodendrom phlomoides which is known to cure flatulency (vatamadakki). Uliai (perhaps lindi[ke] of the text) is according to Dr. Winslow a kind of cotton shrubs and angine, according to the same authority, is 'a species of aloes.'

No. 15.- KARAMDANDA INSCRIPTION OF THE REIGN OF KUMARAGUPTA (GUPTA-) SAMVAT. 117. BY PROFESSOR Sre Kosow, Ph.D.; CHRISTIANIA. This inscription is incised on a stone linga which was excavated from an ancient site called Bharadhi Dih near the village of Karamdamda, about 12 miles from Faizabad on the road to Shahganj, District Faizabad, United Provinces. Karamdamda will be found as Karamdanda in the Indian Atlas, Quarter Sheet 87 S.E., at 82deg 4' long. and 26deg 40' lat. The existence of the inscription was first brought to notice by Kunwar Kamta Prasad, Deputy Collector, Faizabad. A preliminary account of the find has been given by Dr. Vogel in his Annual Report, 1907-08, page 39, and I now publish the inscription from impressions supplied by him. The ligga itself consists of an upper, circular portion, I' l' high and 101" in diameter, rising from an octagonal base l' 9" high. The lower portion of the hase including the end of the inscription has been broken. The linga will be deposited in the Provincial Museum, Lucknow. The inscription itself is incised on the base and covers a space 1'5" high and I'71" broad. The letters in the uppermost right hand corner are mach effaced, but they can be restored from other inscriptions. Across the base, at a distance of 11" from the bottom, rang a line, which has made some of the top matras indistinct in the impression, and the final portion of the inscription has been broken off. In other respects, it is in an excellent state of preservation. The characters belong to the western variety of the Gupta alphabet. The short t is denoted in two different ways, compare Kumaragupta in lines 3 and 7, where the u of gu has two It is doubtful it the Sanskrit vafa (buayan) could be compounded with the Kanarese kiru-small.

Note also nu in Mdhyatasya, line 2. The form of the initial i in itymevam, line 8. is the same as in the Kabaum pillar inscription. With regard to orthography I may note the doubling of & consonant before r in -gottra-, lines 5 and 10 (but putro, line 3, putrah, line 6) and after r in -pururayam and -charyy-, line 4, and yathi-karttavya-dharmmska-karmmana, lino 9; the change of an anusvira ton before d in =syan=dirasa-purvuayanh, line 4; the use of chchh in the beginning of a word in Ohchhandogys, line 4; and the use of i at the end of a word before i in kumiuramatyasSikhara-, line 6. The inscription refers itself to the reign of the ancient Gupta king Kumaragupta I., and is dated in [Gupta-) Samvat 117, on the tenth day of Karttika, corresponding to A.D. 438. It is therefore of almost the same date as the completion of the temple of the Sun when. Kumara gupta's subordinate Bandhuvarman was governing at Dasapura. It registers & gift made by Prithivishena, the son of Chandragupta's houmaramatya Sikharasvamin, who was the son of Visbnupalitabhatta, the son of Kuramaravyabhatte, of the Chhandogas, wbose gotras were [Asva] and Vajin. The former gotra is new to me. The Vajins also occur elsewhere. Prithivishepa is described as the mantrin of Kumiragapta, as his kremuramatya and subsequently as his mahabaladhiksita. The gift was made for the worship of the Mahadeva known as Psithivisvara, s.e. probably the linga on which our inscription has been incised, with proper righteous offerings. The portion containing the names of the donees has, unfortunately, buen lost, and what is lost cannot be restored with absolute certainty. So far as I can see, the donees must have been certain Brahmanas from Ayodhya, who were living in the vicinity of Mahadeva Sailesvara, who belonged to various gotras and charanas, and were proficient in observances, in sacred study, in the mantras, the stras, bhashyas and pravachanas, and who had something to do at the devadroni, 1.6. image procession at Bharadi. . This interpretation is, however, far from being certain. The rostoration of the words denoting the various branches of learning in which the donees are said to have been fully versed, is, I think, certain. The geographical name Bharadi is a mere conjecture. What remains of the letters seems to favoar it. The name of the place where the linga was found is said to be Bharadhi Dih, but it is not possible to identify this form with Bharadi. I would compare the word Bharadiya found in one of the inscriptions on the Sanchi stapas where Professor Buhler reads: [bha]radiyasa sapurisasa yugapajakasa danam. I would translate "the gift of the holy man Yugapajaka, from Bharadi." I am unable to restore the four aksharas following after Bharadi. They look like d. 8. m. d. S. m. d. perhaps stands for samudra, which is an epithet of Siva. The word devadroni is known from lexicographers and said to mean "idol procession."

No. 16.-SUNAO KALA PLATES OF SAMGAMASIMHA; [KALACHURI-) SAMVAT 292. BY PROFESSOR STEN KONow, PH.D.; CHRISTIANIA, These plates were originally brought to light by the late Mr. A. M. T. Jackson, who published them in the Journal of the Bombay Asiatic Society. Mr. Jackson's edition was not accompanied by a facsimile of the original, and it was not, therefore, possible to judge about the paleographic character of the grant. I now re-edit it from impressions which I owe to the kindness of Mr. Henry Consens. The plates are two in number, and they were, according to Mr. Jackson, found in November 1898, "buried about two feet below the surface of a cart track in the village of Sunov Kulla in the Hangot Mabal of the Broach District ... The first plate is entite. The second has suffered damage (1) by the wianching off of the seal, which has destroyed a few aksharas in the first line, and (2) by the breaking off of a piece of the left-hand edge, which has destroyed one akshara in line 4, two in line 5, two in line 6, and one in line 7... The lower edge of the first plate was formerly attached to the upper edge of the second by two copper rings, one of which remaits attached to each of the plates. The seal, which was probably carried by the left-hand ring, has been wrenched off and is lost. The letters are deeply cut and in tuany places show through on the back of the plates." The two plates are of the same size, measuring 12" x 6". The first contains 12, and the second 13 lines of well executed writing. The average size of the individual letters is 1". The characters belong to the southern class and are closely connected with the form Vol. XX. Pp. 211 and ff.

SUNAO KALA PLATES OF SAMGAMASIMHA. 73 occurring in Valabhi inscriptions, in those of the Gujarat Chalukyas, and in the Sarsavni plates of Buddharaja. Mr. Jackson has noted a peculiarity which is found in most of the letters, ris, a distinct triangular head. With regard to individual letters we may note the initial : in eshin, 1. 12; the form of au in Laukakshi-, 1. 6, Lauhayana-, 1. 7. and - pautriwaya-, 1, 11; the two forms of I, e.g. in ko salam, 1. 3, and Galava-, l. 5; the final t in kinachit, l. 13, and vasit, 1. 20, and the jihvimuliya in -ipanayak-karyyah, I. 15. A final * perhaps occurs in varttitarya[m], 1. 14. The numerical symbols for 200, 90, 10,5 and 2 ocour in l. 25. The language is fairly correct Sanskpit, and, with the exception of four imprecatory stanzas in 11, 19-23, here ascribed to Visa, the text of the inscription is in proxe. The suidhi has been neglected in samanudarsayati astrs, II. 3-4 ; and -kritya udakatisarygana, 1. 12. The orthography calls for very few remarks. In l. 1 we find the Prakrit form Saigama. sihah instead of Samgamasiinhah, ap'd in l. 13 karishayata in instead of karshayatai. Consonants are doubled after r; thus, sarenans, 1. 2; -Antaranarmmadavishayintarggata., 1. 4; -7dhraryys-, 11. 6. 7, etc. The only exceptions are =anurarny, 1. 3; ridhiyair-bhitur, l. 14, and, in accordance with Panini VIII. 4. 49,-darsayati, I. 3, and rarsha., 1. 19. Dh has been doubled before y in inuildhyati, 1. 1. Noto also Laukakshi- instead of Langrikshi- in l. 6. . The inscription which tras issued from Bharukachchha, is one of the Alahasimanta, the Maharaja Samgamasiha (-simha), and records the gift of the village sonavva in the Antarnarmada district, to several brahmanas, on the occasion of the Mahakarttiki, i.e. the full moon of the month Kurttika. It is dated in numerical symbols on the 15th day of the bright half of Karttika of the year 292. As pointed out by Mr. Jackson, the date must be referred to the Kalachuri era, and it would accordingly fall in either A.D. 540 or A.D. 541. The donor, the Maharaja Sangamasimha, is not elsewhere known, but I think Mr. Jackson is quite right in 1880 ming that he was a feudatory (mahisimanta) of the Kalachuris. He infers this from the fact that sonavva, the village granted, is said to be situated in the Antarnarmada-rishaya, i.e. according to him, "the district within (ie, on this side of) the Narbada." This, he says, "shows that it belonged to a kingdom whose seat also lay south of the Narbada though it included also territory to the north of that river." I do not quite see how he arrives at this conclusion. The translation of Antarnarmacki-vishaya as "the distriet within the Narmada" would be possible, but tentar does not mean "on this side," but "between.". The word has been explained as a bahurrihi by Dr. Fleet, meaning the country on both sides of the lower part of the Narmada. I cannot therefore accept Mr. Jackson's explanation of the word antarnarmadi-vishaya, but I quite cuncar in his opinion that "on the whole the most probable supposition appears to be that Samgamasimha was a fendatory of the Kalachuris, whose era ho used, and who were certainly recognised as sapreme in the lower Narbada valley about A.D. 580 when Niribullaks made his grant."4 The wording of our grant sometimes recalls the phraseology of the Sarsavsi plates ; vonapare 11. 18-19 with 11. 26-27 of the latter, and, especinlly, the end of the two grants, where we bave, ia both cases, first an instrumental (-prepitajtayi and -vijiapanaya, respectively), then & bahwerihi ending in -dutakam and followed by likhitain, and finally the date expressed in the same way in numerical figaies. The late Professer Kielhora hus shown that the phraseology of the Katachchuri grants was imitated by the Gurjaras and the Gujarat Chalukyas. He inferred from this fact that the family of these chiefs rose to independence only after the Abore, Vol. VI. pp. 294 and fr. * Compare Kielhorn, above, Vol. VI. p. 293, footnote & The date does not admit of verification.

Now Buddharaja's Sarsavni plates are dated in [Kalachuri) Samvat 361, corresponding to A.D. 609 or A.D. 610, and he was, according to the Nertir plates and the Badami pillar inscription, defeated by the Western Chalukya Mangalesa. This seems to have been the first really important event in the history of the Western Chalukyas. Baddbaraja's defeat by Mangalesa must have taken place before the 25th October A.D, 601, if that be the date of the Bidami pillar inscription 8 But even after that date ho retained command of the country about Broach, for his Sarsavoi plates, which are dated in A.D. 609 or 610 (see above), register the grant of a village in that district. The Traikutakes are known to have held away in Southern Gujarat in the last half of the fifth century, for Dahragena's Pardi plates are dated in (Kalachuri) Samvat 207, and a copperplate of his son Vyaghrasena from the Surat District is dated in (Kalachuri] Samvat 281. The present grant belongs to the interval between Vyaghrasena (Samvat 231) and Buddharaja (Samvat 361). Baddbaraja must, according to the Badami pillar inscription, have begun to reign before A.D. 601. We do not know how long his father Samkaragana, the overlord of the Mahapilupati Nirihulleka of the Sunkhoda plate, reigned, and we do not know anything of Sam karagana's father Krishnaraja, but he, or his predecessor, must have been the overlord of Samgamasinha. Our inscription, therefore, throws some light on the bistory of the Broach District in the first half of the sixth century. Of the geographical Dames mentioned in our grant, Bharukachcbha, the residence of the Mahasamanta, the Maharaja Samgamasimba, is the present Broach. Sonayva, the village granted, must be identified with either Sunao Kala, situated in 21deg 28' N. and 72deg 54' E., OL Sunao Khurad, in 21deg 29' N. and 72deg 53' E.

Dhruval and Munshi Debi prasad S They are in the possession of the Brahmana Devarm of Balera, in the Sanchor District. Jodhpur State. I edit them from impressions supplied by Mr. D. R. Bhandarkar. There are two plates measuring 7}" x 5", and each of them is inscribed on one side only. There are altogether 21 lines of writing, 10 on the first and ll on the second plate, and the plates are in an excellent state of preservation. They were held together by a ring, which had been broken when the plates came into Mr. Bhandarkar's hands. There was no seal. The character is Dorthern Nagari of the 10th cuntury. The virama is nsed in samvat, 1. 1; purvuavat, 1. 2; vaset, 1. 19, and -purushan, 1. 4. There are very few orthographical peculiarities. V is used for throughout, and s is written instead of sin sasana, 1. 19. A consonant is donbled after r in-vinirggat, 1. 10; svargge, 1.18; -abhyarchchya, 1. 7; -dharmma-, 1. 13; purvuavat, 1.2, eto. On the other hand, no doubling takes place in - Durlablacharya-, 1. 11. The language is Sanskrit, and, with the exception of an imprecatory slaka in ll. 18-19, here ascribed to Vyasa, the whole of the inscription is in prose. The inscription is one of the Maharajadhiraja Mulara ja I., the founder of the Anbilvad branch of the Chaulukyas. Two other inscriptions of Malaraja are known.

(1. 6), corresponding to Saturday, the 19th January 995, when there was a lunar eclipse, visible in Iodia. None of these inscriptions teaches as much about Malaraja. According to the Kadi plates, he belonged to the Chaulukikas, was the son of the Mahirajadhiraja Raji, and bad, by his own arm, conquered the Sarasvata-mandala. The Gujarat chronicles state that Raji was king of Kalyanakataka in Kanauj, and add some tales about hiro, which bave not, however, been corroborated by infcriptions. The information which can be gathered about Mularaja from other inscriptions of his family, is also meagre. He is called "the sun who brings the lotus-pond of the Chaulukya family into blossom" (Kadi plates of Jayantasimha, Bhimadevs, and Tribhuvanapala!). Only conventional preise fs bestowed on him in the Vadnagar prasasti, where we read, - (V. 4.) Illustrious Mulnraja, who stepped on the diadems of princes, was a priceless pearl to enbance the splendour of the fame of his family,-- he who became the root of the tree of ejustice that had been burnt by the forest-fire of the Kali (age) and gained the affection of his subjects by exceedingly light taxes (as the moon pleases by exceedingly cold rays). (V. 5.) He made the Fortune of the kingdom of the Chapotkata princes, whom he took captive at his will, an object of enjoyment for the multitude of the learned, of bis relatives, of Bruhmans, bards and servants. Won by his valour that mightily blazed forth in battle, the guardian goddesses of the kings of all the other regions then clave for a long time to the Fortuna residing in his sword. The Gujarat chroniclers know more about Malaraja's dealings with the Chapotkatas. The late Professor Bihler bas, however, shown that not much credit can be given to them, and it is safer to abstain from using them. Malaraja's charities are also alluded to in the Devapattana inscription, where we are 'introdaced to the astrologer Uyabbatta, whose three sons Madhava, Lula and Bhabha the king charged with the supervision of these charities. The chroniclers state that Malaraja reigned from Vikrama-Samvat 998-1053, and they tell us about his expeditions against other kings. Shortly after his accession, they inform us, he was attacked by the Raja of Sakambhari and Barapa, the general of Tailapa, or, according to the Sukritas sikirtana, of the king of Kanauj. The Sakambhari king must have been the Chakamana Vigraharaja, whose Harsha inscription is dated in Vikrama-Samvat 1030. Barapa is described as a Chalukya7 or a Chaulukya, who is said to be descended from the mythical Chaulukys and & Rashtrakuta princess. Dr. Fleet' doubts that Barapa was the general of Tailapa, because he was a Chaulukya and not a Chalukys like the latter.10 Whatever his origin was, he certainly succeeded in establishing himself in Lata, where we find his grandson Kirtiraja as mahamandalesvara in Saka 940, and Kirtiraja's grandson Trilochanapala in Saka 972. According to the chronicles, Barapa drove Malaraja back to Kanthadurga (the modern Kanthkot in the eastern division of Kachh), but was later on defeated by him. That Molaraja was also at war with the Kalachuris bas been inferred from the Dedlill and Karhadi plates of the Rashtrakuta Krishna III, dated Saka 862 and 880 respectively, where we are told that "on hearing of the conquest of all the strongholds in the southern 1 Ind.

[Vol. X region, simply by means of his (Kfish a's) angry glance, the hope about Kalahjara and Chitrakuta vanished from the heart of the Gurjara." The same events are probably alluded to in the (spurions) Lakshmegvara inscription of Saka 8901 where it is stated that Marasimha conquered the Gurjaras under orders of Kpish pardja. I have already mentioned that, according to the chroniclera, Mularija reigned till VikramaSamyat 1053. This agrees well with the fact that he is mentioned as a contemporary in the Bijapur inscription of the Rashtrakuta Dhavals of Hastikundi,' which is dated in that year. The object of the prosent copper-plate is to record a grant, 'made on the occasion of a lunar eclipse, to certain Dirghicharya, the jon of Durlabhlcharya, an immigrant from Kanyakubja. The writer of the grant was the kayastha Kanchana, who also wrote the Kadi plates of Samvat 10488 and whose son Vatesvara occurs as the writer of the Kadi plate of Bhimadeva of Sarnyat 1086. The dutaka was the mahattama Sivareja. The grant consisted in the village Veranaka in the Satyapura-mandala. Its boundaries were, to the east the village Dhanara, to the south Gundauka, to the west Vodha, and to the north Metravala. Satyapura is the present Sanchor in the Jodhpur State. Munshi Debiprasad states that Varapaka is said to be the site of the modern village of Balera (Indian Atlas, Sheet 21 N. W., 71deg 32' long., 24deg 43' lat.), where the plates are now found. I do not know his authority for this statement, and it seems more likely that we have to look for Varanaka farther Bast, where we find a village Gondan, which might correspond to Gundauka, at 72deg 3y long. and 24deg 49' lat. To the north of Gondau is the village Mirpur, which might be a later form corresponding to Metravals, while Bodan, to the north-west, perhaps represents Vodha, and Dantwara, to the north-east, Dhanara.

Today, in the famous Anahilapitaka,-the rajavali as beforel-the Paramabhaffaraka Maharajadhiraja Paramesvara, the illustrious Mularajadeva, addresses all rajapurushas and all people, Brahmanas and others, residing in Varanakagrams, which belongs to the Satyapura- mandala in his realm :-Be it known to you that, after having today, at the eclipse of the moon, worshipped the lord of the world, the holy husband of Ambika (1.6.

No. 18.-PESHAWAR MUSEUM INSCRIPTION OF VANHADAKA; LAUKIKA-SAMVAT 538. BY PROFESSOR STEN Konow, PH.D.; CHRISTIANIA. The stone on which this inscription is incised, was transferred to the office of the Superinte:dent, Archeological Survey, Frontier Cirole, from the office of Dr. Stein in 1907. Dr. Stein informs me that the inscription was not found by him. It is said to hail from the Hazira District, but nothing is known for certain about its origia. I edit it from impressions furnished by Dr. D. B. Spooner. The stone measures 18" x 10", and bears sis lines of writing. The central portion of the last line has been lost. A peculiarity of this inscription is that the letters are not incised but The words rajavalt purorapot slao occur in Bbimadova'plates, (Ind. Ant. Vol. VI. 194, 199; 301: 203 ; 205, 206; Vol. XI. p. 71). A similar phrase, rajavali purrtad, is found in Mularija's and Japantainha's Kadi plates (ibid, Vol. VI. pp. 192 and 196). They are alway* prefixed to the description of Malaraja, and probably belong to the approved preamble of granta kept in the royal archives.

An older instance of the use of raised letters in a Sanskrit inscription is afforded by the legend on a statue of the Buddha unearthed by Mr. Oertel at Sarnath.1 The characters of the inscription are Sarada. Among individual letters I note the form of sa in atasi-, 1. 1, of ja in gaja-, 1. 3. of da in Surade-, 1. 4, -Vanhadakena, 1. 5, and the ligatures ky in lokya-, 1. 3, rg in -kargi-, 1. 6. and nh in-Vanhadakena, 1. 5. The final form of t is found in 11. 3 and 7, and that of m in 11. 2 and 5. The inscription contains the numeral symbols for 3,8 and 1 in 1. 4. Note the form of 8. The language is Sanskrit, with some mistakes, which show that the author was not a very good scholar. Compare -kusma- for -kusuma-, 1. 1, etc. The Sanskrit of the two last lines is particularly weak. With the exception of the invocation to Vishnu in ll. I and 2, which is written in the Arya metre, the inscription is in prose. The object of the inscription is to record the construction of a tank by sri-Vanhadaka for the benefit of his father sri-Isvara, the son of fri-Surade. The sthapati was Simgali Kargi, the son of Kali, and he seems to be described as belonging to the dranga of Navagrama. I am, however, unable to make out the last words of line 6 with certainty. The tank was completed on Saturday, the thirteenth day of the bright fortnight of Karttika, in the year 38 in the Lokya-samvat denoted by the arrows (5) and hundred augmented by the elephants (8) and thirty. This date is of interest in more than one respect. In the first place it is not usual to indicate the hundreds in dates of the Laukika era. Mr. R. D. Banerji2 even goes to the length of remarking that "if in a date the hundreds are mentioned, it is absolutely certain that it cannot be referred to the Latikika era." This statement cannot any more be upheld in the face of our inscription, where the year is given as sara, i.e. five, hundred, and gaja, i.e. eight, and thirty. Pandit Mukundram also informs me that the hundreds are actually sometimes added in Kashmir loke, in common life, not however in books. It is then interesting to note that, in the repetition of the date in figures, the hundreds are omitted. Professor Jacobi who has been good enough to calculate the date for me, finds that it corresponds to Saturday, the 17th October 1481. I do not know anything about the persons mentioned in the inscription, and, so long as we have no information about the origin of our inscription, it is hopeless to identify the Navagrama-dranga mentioned in 1. 6. According to Dr. Stein, the term dranga signifies "a watch station established near mountain passes for the double purpose of guarding the approaches to the valley and of collecting customs revenue."

No. 19.-- PIMPARI PLATES OF DHARAVARSHA-DHRUVARAJA; SAKA-SAMVAT 697. BY K. B. PATHAK, B.A.; Poona. This grant consists of three plates, each measuring 101"71". The ring on which the seal was strung had been detached from the plates when they came nto my possession. The weight of the three plates is 260 tolas, while that of the ring and the seal is 190 tolas. The diameter of the ring is 21" and the length of the seal is 6". On the cop of the seal there is, in relief, on a countersunk surface, a figure of the four-armed god Vishnu. The grant belongs to Dasharath Patil and Lala Patil of Pimpari in East Khandesh and was published by Mr. G. K. Chandorkar in a Marathi magazine named Prabhita nearly two years ago. I obtained the original plates on loan for taking an impression of them through the kind offices of Mr. G. K. Chandorkar. The plate accompanying this paper has been prepared from impressions received from Mr. Nariyanrao Tatake of the Archaeological Office in Poona. The grant is written in the Nagari characters of the period to which the inscription refers itself. The peculiarities in respect of orthography, which deserve to be noted, are that a is always used in place of 5, as in fare for far in line 62, and that conjanct consonants imme. diately following are sometimes doubled as in rete in line 6, but not in arfa in line 18 and in fuorum in line 31. The grant is written in the Sanskrit language, and, except in the donative passages and the last sentence, the whole is in verge. It may be romarked that all the verses of our inscription are met with in later Rashtrakuta grants. The inscription records the grant, by Dharavarsha sri-Dhruvarajadeva, of the village called Lilagrima to s Brahmana named Bhattadeva, when six hundred and ninety-seven years of the Saka king had passed away, on the new moon-day, in the dark half of the month of Karttika, when there was & solar eclipse. The mention of the solar eclipse in the date may be taken as a proof of the genuineness of the present grant. But it comes into conflict with the Dhulia grant of Karkaraja, dated Saka-Samvat 701, which purports to have been issued in the prosperous reign of Govindaraja II. I beg to invite attention to the following Passage in that grant: i nade ......... TATU [1*] Jeg: aceta (HT) HEIGHTat fafeauar[:*] Above, Vol. VIII. p. 182.

How conld Karkaraja order all feudatories by the command of Dhravaraja, in the prosperous reiga of Govinda II., when Dhruva was not the reigning sovereiga ? The language used here is arabiguous. The verse quoted above is correctly given in our grant and, with the next following verse (beginning with the words jAti yatra ca), describes Dhruva as the paramount sovereign. The occurrence of the incorrect verse in the Dhulia grant may be cited as an additional proof of its sparious character.! As the gennineness of the Dhulis plates of Karkarija is open to question, the first point which we have to deaide is whether Govinda II. actually succeded to the throne or whether there was a complete supersession of him by his younger brother Dhrava after the death of Krishnaraja I. On this point our grant has the following verse (18) which also occurs in the Kavi and Paithans plates: yena zvetAtapatraprahataravikaravAtatApAtsalIla jagme nAsIradhUlodhavalitabhirasA vanabhAkhyaH sadAjau / sa zrIgovindarAjo jitajagadahitalaiNavaidhavyahetu stasyAsItsUnurekakSaNaraNadalitArAtimattemakuMbhaH / Here the possession of the white umbrella, which is symbolical of supreme sovereignty, is attributed to Govinda II.

It is thus clear that Govinda II. did in all probability reign immediately after the death of his father Krislinaraja I. I lay stress on this point because the genuineness of the Dhalia plates of Karkaraje which refer themselves to the reign of Govinda II. may reasonably be called in question, as I have pointed out above. From the Daulatabid grant, which was discovered by me three years ago and brought to the notioc of Mr. D. R. Bhandarkar, who has edited it in this Journal, it is plain that Dhruva wrested the sceptre from the hands of his elder brother Govinda II. That Govinda II. did reign is also proved by two pillar inscriptions discovered and noticed by Mr. Rice, which use the expression prithvi-rajyami geyys, "ruling . over the earth," with reference to Jagattunga-Prabhutavarsha-Pratapavaloka, son of Akalatvarsha]. The second question to be decided is the identification of the Srivallabha, mentioned by Jinasena in the concluding presasli of his Haritamsa, which I quoted in my article in the Indian Antiquary, Vol. XV, p. 142. In a note to my paper, Dr. Fleet proposed to identify the king with Govinda II. A few years later a different identification was proposed. Dr. Fleet then suggested that in the verse zAkeSvavdazateSu saptasu dizaM paJcottareSattarAM pAtIndrAyudhanAni kRSNanRpaje zrIvallabhe dakSiNAM / the expression w e should be construed with setgyalfa and that 1994 was Govinda III. The only reason given for this construction was that "Indrasudhanaman is an adjective and wants the next following word to complete its meaning." This is not a serious difficulty for Kalidasa frequently uses rathAGganAman as a nouns And Jinashna himself uses compounds like padAyudhanAman as nouns: jaMbUnAmA tataH kRtsnaM purANamapi zuzruvAn / prathayiSyati lokesmin sotvaH kevalinAmiha // 37 tato nakSatranAmA ca jayapAlo mahAtapAH / / pAMDuzca dhruvasenazca kaMsAcArya iti kramAt // 45 ekAdazAMgavidyAnAM pAragAH syurmunIzvarAH / / . . . . . . . . . . . . . // 46. ____Adipurana, Chap.

X. identify Jinasena's Srivallabha, and this time, with Dhruva. The only ground assigned for this was that "Srivallabha was a leading and distinctive biruda of Dhruva," while Govinda II. was, in Dr. Fleet's opinion, Vallabha and not "Srivallabha, which is quite a different thing." But from one of the two inscriptions which we owe to Mr. Rice and to which reference has been made above, we learn that Srivallabha was a title borne by Govinda II., who is spoken of as Jagattunga-Prabhutavarsha-Pratapa valoka-Srivallabha. This is a pillar inscription and a contemporary document and must have been incised between Saka-Samvat 692 and 697.2 It is evident that Srivallabha was not a distinctive biruda of Dhruva. On this account it is hard to decide whether Jinasona's Srivallabha was Govinda II. or Dhruva. Though neither of the two reasons put forward by Dr. Fleet, vis. (1) that Govinda II. did not reign and (2) that he had not the title of Srivallabha is correct, his identification of Jinasona's Srivallabha with Dhruva is warranted by the subjoined inscription. It is dated in Saka-Samvat 697 and the Daulatabad plates of Dhruva in Saka-Samvat 715. Between these two dates Dhruva was the reigning sovereign. During this interval Jinasena wrote his prasasti of Saka-Samvat 705. His Srivallabha, son of king Krishna was, therefore, Dhruva himself. On the other hand, if the Dhulia plates are also genuine, Jinasena's Srivallabha cannot, at present, be identified. 84 One of the titles of Dhruva is Kalivallabha, which Dr. Fleet always translates "favourite of the Kali age." It is well known that the Kali age is sinful, and to be called "favourite of the sinful age" can hardly be regarded as complimentary. The real explanation appears to be different. Kali means " a brave person, a warrior," and vallabha means "favourite" or "lord." And the title should be rendered "the favourite of warriors." That this is the real meaning of the title is implied in the following verse which occurs in the Manne grant and in the Sirur inscription:--- sambhapratiSThamacirAya kaliM sudUrasusA zuddhacaritairdharaNItalasya 1 kRtvA punaH kRtayugazriyamapyazeSaM citraM kathaM nirupamo kalivajJabhobhUt // TRANSLATION. "Having quickly driven far away, by his pure actions, the Kali age, which had obtained a footing, and having created again the glory of the Krita age on the surface of the earth, it is wonderful how Nirupama became the favourite of the Kali age (the favourite of warriors)." This verse is an instance of the well-known figure of speech called fat (= apparent contradiction). The expression afera is used in a double sense. The literal rendering "favourite of the Kali age" creates an apparent contradiction, which consists in the Kali age being driven away by its own favourite. But this contradiction is not real and disappears as soon as we remember the secondary and the real sense of the title "the favourite of warriors." From his victorious camp pitched near Sankhavivaraka the Paramabhattaraka Maharajadhiraja Paramesvara Prithvivallabha the glorious Dharavarsha, the illustrious Dhruvarajadeva granted, for the increase of the merit and fame in this world and in the next, of his parents and of himself, the village of Lilagrama in the Vatanagarika eighty-four (district). The donee was a Brahmana named Bhattadeva, son of Bhattavukadikshita, of the Bharadvaja. 1 Above, Vol. VI. p. 197. [Mr. Rice assigns both of these inscriptions to "about 815 A. D." One of them mentions the daughter of the Nolamba chief Simhapota and the other (his son) Pallavadhiraja.

The boundaries of the village granted are:-on the east Laghudejrara-khetake; on the south the village of Talapataka; on the west the village of Ajjaloai; and on the north the river Mosini. The donation was made for keeping up the five great sacrifices (yajna), viz. bali, chart, vaisvadera, agnihotra and atithi, and for other purposes. Bhatta-Herambaka and others were apparently sent as dutakas by the king to see to the proper execution of the grant made by him. The writer was the mahasandhivigrahadhikrita Sri-Mandalla, son of Baladhiksita. Lilagrama and Vatanagarika are identified by Mr. G. K. Chandorkar with Nilagavhana and Vasi in the Nasik District.

BY A. H. FRANCKE. The stone monument in front of the Ta-chao-ssu temple contains an inscription in Chinese and Tibetan, of the times of the Tibetan king khri btsong lde btsan, half of whose name has been preserved on the stone, as observed by Bushell. The Chinese half of the inscription was translated by S. W. Bushell in his article entitled "The Early History of Tibet" (J. R. A. S., Vol. XII, 1880, p. 535 ff.). As far as I know, no attempt to read and translate the Tibetan text has as yet been made. My reading of the Tibetan text is based on a rubbing of the inscription, reproduced in Bushell's article. This rubbing was obtained in Peking in 1869 and was said then, from the condition of the paper, to date at least from the last century.' Ancient Orthography. (a) Cases of suffixed d (called drag) occur in phyind (1. 20), phrind (1. 39), mald (1. 55); the last case is uncertain. On the whole, it is safe to say that the drag is of rare occurrence, as compared with Dr. Stein's Endere relics. (b) Subscript y appears below m regularly when the latter is followed by i and e. (c) Inverted i vowel signs are very common. But no uniform rule is followed in their use. (d) In line 26 it looks as if chenpo was furnished with the article pho instead of po, as is the case in some of the Endere relics; but here it may be due to a scratch on the stone. Other instances of the orthography of the Endere relics (8th century A.D.) are not found here. Thus, the final consonant of a syllable is never written below the first consonant; and c and ts are never replaced by ch and ths, as at Endere. Palaeographical Notes. All the vowel signs, with the exception of the i vowel sign, are joined to the consonant base. For the o-sign the left upper end of the consonant is preferred; but in the case of ch, kh and y it touches the middle. The u-sign is joined to the right lower end of the letter and the e-sign to the riddle of its upper line, except in the case of s, m and l. With the two former end. the e-sign finds a place at the left upper end and with l at the right upper 1 The metre is Pushpitagra; but the third pads does not correspond with the first. The verse occurs in the Dantivarman plates with the third pada thus: <Page #117 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ EPIGRAPHIA INDICA. (VOL. X. Euphonic laws. We find d instead of t after g in gcigdu (1.5), yogdu (1. 44), stse shung chegdu (1.44), and yigdu (1. 77); b instead of p after g in yang thagbar (1. 31) (ordinarily yang dagpar). The form 'adrul (1.40) instead of 'agrul shows that the modern pronunciation was already in vogue in 822 A.D. (Compare my notes on the Endere relics.) The same may be inferred from lines 75 and 77 where we find the genitive instead of the instrumental case. Some ancient words. The word phu dud (11. 45, 47) refers to the Chinese custom of shaking the sleeve in greeting a person. Of ancient words the following deserve to be noted : ba (1. 56) and 'aba (1. 57), both meaning subjects (?)'; mjal dum (11. 5 ff.) assembly, composed of mjal,' meet' and 'aduba, gather; gnyi (1.58), instead of nys, san; 'adzimpa (1. 76) instead of 'adsinpa, seize.

This is a single plate, which measures 13" wide by 18" long, and was found together with the seal" in village Kotwa, parganah Ghiswi, tahsil Macbhlisbahr, on the east side of the unmetalled road running from Machhliahabr to Janghai," when excavations were carried on as famine relief work in the Jaunpur District of the United Provinces. In Jandary last, Mr. C. A. C. Streatfield, 1.C.S., presented it to the Provincial Museum at Lucknow, where it is now deposited. The Carator of the Museum informs me that he received it "in & bent and twisted condition in conseqaence of which it had to be flattened." It is broken about the middle and the writing which it bears is also considerably damaged. The inscription which is engraved only on one side of the plate comprises 34 lines written in the Sanskrit language and the Nagari script. The size of the letters is between 1 and As regards orthography, it is enough to state that no distinction is made between the signs for band and that the dontal and palatal sibilants are used indiscriminately, Page #121 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ EPIGRAPHIA INDICA. VOL. X The epigraph opens with 16 verses, the first 14 of which it has in common with the grants of Jayachcbandradeva published in this Journal and in the Indian Antiquary. Towards the end, the subjained inscription has 12 benedictive and imprecatory verses that are generally met with in other epigraphs. Verses 15 and 16 eulogize Harischandradeva, who "spread his unequalled fame spotless in the world" and who "eclipsed the splendour of the sun by means of the dust that was raised by the hoofs of his endless horses which pervaded the circle of the earth and gradually encompassed the sky." The formal part of the grant, from line 20 to line 27, is in prose and is worded like the corresponding parts of the other Gahadavala grants that have already been published. The inscription records that the Paramabhattaraka Maharajadhiraja Paramesvara the glorious Hariachandradeva (the successor of the P. M. P. Jayachchandradeva), while residing at Dhanamvakra (P) (1. 24), granted, after having bathed in the Ganges at the bathing yhat named Chyavanosvara, the village of Pamahai (1. 20) together with its outlying hamlets (pataka) to one Rahihiyaka (?)% (1.25), son of the Thakkura Madanu of the Kasyapa-gotra, on Sunday, the 15th tithi of the bright half of the month Pausha in [Vikrama-]Samvat 1258. The charter was written by the Mahalshapotalika, the shakkura Bhogaditya. The seal accompanying the plate is circular and about 27" in diameter. The ring on which it is soldered is open. Owing to this circumstance the seal can be taken off or passed through the hole cut at the top for this purpose. The seal bears in relief a Garuda and a conch and between these the legend : Srimata-Harischandradetasya. The record possesses some historical importance, for, to the list of the kings of Kananj it adds one new Dame, vis. that of Harischandra. Indeed, we knew Harischandra as the son of Jayachchandra from the latter's grants published in the Indian Antiquary (Vol. XVIII. p. 130 ff.) and the Epigraphia Indica (Vol. IV. p. 126 f.). But Harischandra as a ruling chief of Kanadj is mentioned only in the subjoined record. The date regularly corresponds, for the Vikrams year 1253 expired (1254 current), to Sunday, the 6th January A.D. 1197, when the full-moon tithi of Pausha ended 22 b. 58 m. (approximately) after mean sunrise. Of the localities mentioned in the record, the name of one can be read with certainty and it is Pamahai, the village that was granted. Pamahai is merely a feminine of Pamaha, as Khairai is of Khaira, Pendrai of Pendra, Burbi of Burba, and so on. It is usual to name & small village near a bigger one in the feminine as a diminutive form and such villages are usually found side by side. Under these circumstances it will not be unreasonable to suppose that Pamabai stood somewhere near Pamaha. The latter I am inclined to identify with Poha, a village about 2 miles from the spot where the document was found. That Pamaha should dwindle to Pohi is not extraordinary, as the dropping of the nasal is not uncommon in Hindi.. The reading of the names of other localities is not certain and I am unable to identify them. [One of the Kamauli plates, belonging to the reign of Jayachchandra (T.), dated in Vikrama-Samvat 1232, records a gift made by the king at Kasi (Benares) on the occasion of the Above, Vol. IV. pp. 120-9. Vol. XV. p. 10 1. and Vol. XVIII. pp. 129-43. It is also possible that the donee's name is Hibiyaks and that the syllable ra is an abbreviation of the title raruta or ruuta. In the Faizabad plate of Jayachchandra, for instance, tbe donee, who was a Brahmans of the Bharsdvaja-gotra, his father and grandfather bore the title raula (Ind. Ant. Vol. XV. p. 13). CA grant of Govindachandra found in hamlet near Machhlishuhr has been published by the late Prof. Kielhorn (above Vol. V. p. 116). It is also deposited in the Lucknow Museum. It is dated in Vikrama-Samvat 1201 corresponding to A.D. 1146. The village granted by this record is Peroha in the Mahasya-pattala.--Ed.] Mr. Hirulal of the Gasottoer Ofhoe, Nagpar, who has supplied tbe information regarding these names similar to our Pomahai, would identify Pamaha with Bambabs, a village in the Machhlishahr tahsil.

The date of the inscription corresponds to the 10th August A.D. 1175. Apparently, this was the day on which Earischandra was born. His namakarana (i.e. giving a name) is referred to as having taken place just three weeks later on the 31st August 1175 A.D. Accordingly, Harischandradeva must have been 21 years old at the time of the subjoined inscription. As the latest known date of Jayachchandra is A.D. 1187,3 the accession of his son Harischandra must have taken place between A.D. 1187 and 1197, the date of the present grant. The town of Kanauj was completely devastated by Shihab-ud-din in A.D. 1193 and it is not a little surprising that Harischandra is described in the subjoined record as if he were a paramount sovereign. The Belkhara pillar inscription, dated a few months earlier, does not mention Harischandra but represents an un-named king of the Gahadavala family as granting a village more than two hundred miles distant from Kanauj. The connection of this king as well as of The former was probably residing at Harischandra with Kanauj was perhaps only nominal. some town out of the reach of the Muhammadan generals or officials. Mr. V. A. Smith thinks that the king's residence was near Jaunpur.5 Zafarabad, 4 miles to the south-east of that city, is said to have been the site of a palace of the later rulers of 'Kanauj.-Ed.] 1 zra 2 3 95 TEXT.5 kuMDI kaMThave kuMDakaMThapIThaThatkaraH / [saMraM]bha[: su]ra[tAraM ] me sa [vi]yaH zreyasestu vaH // [ 1* ] wretexit(x)qfier(x) Gra:-" ApAlamAlA divaM gatAsu / bhUridhA [nA] [r] dvivasvAna [a*] nAvA yAso' [vi] graha budaar| [2] ta[]tobhUmIcaMdra [:] caMdradhAmanarbha nijaM / yenApAramakupArapAra vyApAritaM yamaH // [3] tasyAbhUttanayo nayaikarasika [: *] krAMtaddiSamaMDalI vi[dhvasto]catavIrayodhatimiraH zrIcaMdradevo nRpaH / yenodAratarapratApasa (gha) mitAzeSamajopa [dra]vaM zrImadgAdhipurAdhirAjyamasamaM dorvvikrameNArjitaM // [ 4* ] tIrthAni " kAsikusiko 1 Above, Vol, IV. p. 126. 2 Ind.

The Sanskrit poet sri-Harsha, author of the Naishadhiyacharita, is believed to have flourished in the 12th century A.D. The last extant verse of this poem shows that, the poet was highly honoured by the ruler of Kanyakubja (tambuladvayam-sanam cha labhate yah Kanyakubjesvarat) who, according to tradition, was Jayantachandra, i.e. Jayachchandra. If this tradition be correct, it would show that the poet flourished about the fourth quarter of the 12th century A.D. Cunningham's Archaeological Survey Reports, Vol. XI. p. 129. J. B. 4.

The owner of these plates is a school-boy at Kurnool, Madras Presidency. He states that "the plates were in his house at Gadval, Haidarabad territory, and that some old woman was saying that they were found in the fields." They were brought to the notice of the Archaeological Department by Mr. C. V. Dorasami Aiyar, Clerk in the Settlement Office, Kurnool, and . were obtained on loan through the Collector. I edit the inscription on them from two sets of excellent ink-impressions received from Rai Bahadur Venkayya, whose description of the originals is subjoined here. These are "three copper-plates, with slightly raised rims, the first and last of which bear writing only on the inner side. The length of the plates is 9 inches, while the breadth varies between 43 inches at the middle and 42 inches at the two edges. They are strung on an ellipti cal copper ring which measures 32" by 37" and is " thick. The ends of the ring are secured st the bottom of a mass of copper, on which is impressed an almost circular seal which is 1" in diameter. The impression bears the rude figure of a boar in a running posture, facing the proper right. "The last plate exhibits a slit which rans from the nearer margin right into the ring-hole. This shows that an attempt may have been made to remove the plate from the ring without actually cutting the latter. The plates together with the ring and seal weigh 160 tolas." * Bend pAca Page #130 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ No. 22.] GADVAL PLATES OF VIKRAMADITYA I. 101 The writing on the plates is in an excellent state of preservation. In some cases the sign of anusvara is indistinct and has to be supplied from the context. Throughout the record no mark of punctuation is used. The alphabet resembles that of the other grants of the same period and dynasty. The secondary forms of i and are not always clearly distinguished, and hardly any difference is made between the two letters ta and cha, and between the secondary forms of ri and ra. The lingual occurs in the geographical name Cholika (1.25) and in the expression khan[de]ga vadla (1. 28) which, as well as salage (1.31), was taken over from the Telugu vernacular of the donee. Among the names of private individuals, three are Praksit (Chanda and Kanha, 1. 27, and Mahisara, 1. 29), and three Dravidian (Tatamma and Padamma, 1. 29, and Konna, 1. 30). But the language of the whole record is Sanskrit, both prose and verse. The rules of sandhi are scrupulously observed, except in three instances (11. 1, 26, and 38). The inscription records a grant of land by the (Western) Chalikya (1. 4 f.) king Vikramaditya (I.), the son of Satyasraya (.e. Pulakesin II.), grandson of Kirtivarman (I.), and greatgrandson of Pulakesin (I.). Each of these four kings receives the same panegyrical epithets as in other grants of the same period. At the end of the description of the reign of Vikramaditya I. the new grant adds a passage which is already known from his Haidarabad plates ? and the spurious Kurtakoti plates. As pointed out by Professor Kielhorn, this passage consists of four Arya verses. These four verses mention several surnames of Vikramaditya I., vis. Anivarita, the unopposed' (verse 2), Srivallabha, the favourite of fortune' (verses 3 and 4), Ranarasika, fond of fighting,' and Rajamalla, 'the wrestler with kings' (verse 5). Verse 3 states that he defeated Narasimha, Mabendra, and Isvara, i.e. the three successive Pallava kings Narasimhavarman I., Mahendravarman II., and Paramegvaravarman 1.6 The last of these three kings is again named as Isvara-Potaraja? of Kanchi in a Vasantatilaka Ferse (6) which follows after the four Aryas. The conquest of Kanchi, the capital of the Pallavas, is alluded to also in verse 4. Verse 5 states that Vikramaditya I. destroyed the Maha. malla family. As suggested by Professor Kielhorn, this is another reference to the Pallavas; for Mahamalla seems to have been a surname of Narasimhavarman I., and Mamallapuram is the ancient name of a Pallava city, the remains of which now go by the name of the Seven Pagodas." The date of the grant was the full-moon tiths of Vaisakha in the twentieth year of the reign, which was current after 596 Saka jears had passed (11. 24-26). This date does not admit of verification; but, an Dr. Fleet kindly informs me, "the equivalent may be taken as Tuesday, 25th April, A.D. 674, though some authorities might make it the next day,-at any rate for any eastern parts of India." It fully confirms the correctness of the results of Professor Kielhorn's calculations of two other dates of the same reign.10 When Vikramaditya I made this grant, his army had invaded the Cholika-vishaya, i.e. the Chola province," and was encamped in Uragapura on the southern bank of the Kaveri river (1. 25 f.).

[Vol. x. that Uragapura is mentioned in Kalidasa's Raghuvansa (vi. 59) as the capital of the Pandya king, and proposed to identify it with the ancient Chola capital Uraiyur near Trichinopoly. I rather think that Uragapura, the snake-city.' is a poetical equivalent of Nagapattapam (now Negapatam), though this town is at some distance from the southern bank of the Kaveri. The word Nagapattanam is engraved in Tamil characters on certain small copper coins struck at Negapatam by the Dutch East India Company. The slightly different form Nagapattanam ocours in the large Leiden plates. The Chinese pilgrim I-tsing, who visited India in the last quarter of the seventh century, reports that the priest Wu-hing, after travelling from China to India, landed at 'Nagapatana' and thence embarked for Ceylon. The famons pilgrim Hinentsiang, who travelled over India in the second quarter of the same century, did not proceed farther south than Corijeoveram, which he notices. But he mentions on hearsay a town farther to the south, from which people used to embark for Ceylon. The quotation from I-tsing makes it very probable that Negapatam is intended by this. Colonel Yale was inclined to identify Negapatam with Ptolemy's Ninayak The grant was made at the request of Ganga-Mahadevi (1. 27), who seems to have been one of the queens of Vikramaditya I. The dopees were three Brahmanas, each of whom received fifty nivartanas of land in a village named (Chedujili. In verse 10 Vikramaditya I. is once more praised as a member of the Chalukya family and as the destroyer of the Pallava lineage. TEXT.

No. 23.- NEW BRAHMI INSCRIPTIONS OF THE SCYTHIAN PERIOD. By Raxhat Das BANERJI. The following inscriptions were discovered in the Archeological Section of the Lucknow Museum during the winter of 1908. The existence of unpublished Brahmi inscriptions in the Provincial Museum at Lucknow was well known to the public, and in 1905 Mr. V. A. Smith obtained a complete set of impressions of them from the Curator. But unfortunately none of these has been published as yet. In 1903 Mr. Smith mentioned four of them which were stated to have been discovered at Ramnagar, an old fort in the Bareilly District. Two more are said to have been found at Mathuri. I examined the Archaeological collection of the Lucknow Maseum on two different occasions, once, wbile collecting materials for my essay on "The Scythian period of Indian history" in June 1903, and again in October 1906. On the last occasion, I came across at least three unpublished inscriptions but could not spare enough time for them. Subsequently, the task of catalogaing the archaeological collection of the Provincial Museum was entrusted to me by Dr. J. Ph. Vogel of the Archeological Survey and I had occasion to go through the collection slowly and carefully. The result was the discovery of a number of dated inscriptions and important modifications in the readings of three published ones. The catalogue is not expected to be out soon; so I am placing the newly discovered records before the public as early as possible. The majority of sculptures in the collection of the Lucknow Museum belong to the Scythian period and were discovered by Dr. A. Fuhrer, Ph.D., of the Archeological Survey. The collection also contains A large number of Mathura The four words sro a subeoqueut audition ; see alore, p. 104, note 1. Compare Brown's Telugu Dictionary, 8. v. salaga.

The collection thus comprises the following materials : (1) Some of the sculptures collected by Growse and other local officers of the Mathura District up to the year 1886. 107 (2) The sculptures discovered during the excavations carried on by Drs. Fuhrer and Burgess at Mathura during the years 1888-96. (3) The sculptures discovered by Dr. Fuhrer at Ramnagar, the ancient Ahichchhattra in the Bareilly District in the winter of 1891-92. None of the inscriptions from Ramnagar have ever been properly edited. Translations of three of them have appeared in Dr. Fuhrer's Report of the Epigraphical Section for 1901-02, out of which only one has been found. The rest could not be traced either in the galleries or the Tahkhana of the Lucknow Provincial Museum. Fourteen out of the twenty-one inscriptions edited here are absolutely new. The late Dr. Buhler published three inscriptions with facsimiles and the rest have been casually noticed or edited by Messrs. Growse, Smith and others. Those which have been already edited by Bubler are republished because, on examining the original, I found that his readings required considerable modifications. Two of the inscriptions (Nos. II. and VI.) were published by Growse with facsimiles in his Mathura. The excavations at Ramnagar have yielded some important records. One of them (No. I.) mentions the territorial name Panchala, while another inscription (No. XVI.) evidently from the same place refers to the name of the capital city [AdhiJchchhattra. The identity of Ramnagar with Ahichchhattra seems to be certain. The language of the inscriptions is corrupt Sanskrit. I am indebted to Mr. Marshall for the photographs published here. They were taken by his photographer Babu Brajendra Nath Dey last winter. The back views of two images, viz. that of the year 9 (Plate I.) and of the year 80 (Plate VIII.), show the deterioration of the Mathura school of sculpture. The subject is the same in both cases, vis. a tree with flowers. The earlier sculpture shows a tall tree with a graceful trank and proportionate flowers and leaves. But the later sculpture is ugly and disproportionate. No other Mathura sculpture in the Lucknow Museum bears any carving on its back though many of them are carved in the round. 1.-INSCRIPTION ON A COPING-STONE. The inscription was found on the top of a split coping of yellow sandstone which was used as a prop to a large "tablet of homage." It was completely hidden under the large slab and was discovered when the latter was being taken out to be cleaned. The sculpture came most probably from Ramnagar, the ancient Ahichchhattra, in the Bareilly District. The Carator's Report for the month of April 1892 mentions "1 coping stone with inscription of the Saka era (dated Samvat 5) Excavated from the old site of a large Buddhist temple at Ramnagar, Rohilkhand." Dr. Fuhrer most probably took the word Panchaliye 'of Parichala in line 8 for a date. The alphabet belongs to the class which Buhler called Kshatrapa characters. They are older than what Messrs. Vogel and Luders style Early Kushana. The inscription is dated in the first year of the reign of a king (?) whose name is lost. * 1 V. A. Smith's Jaina Stupa, pl. VIII.

This fragment was discovered, according to Growse, in a mound near the Circular Road at Mathura. The language is corrupt Sanskrit and the characters are neat and well incised. They belong to the early Kushana period. The important point about this inscription is that it is a Bodhisattva image and not a Buddha image as Growse calls it. The inscription consists of a single mutilated line on the upper rim of the pedestal (Lucknow Museum Catalogue No. B-18.) (date specified as) above up by. TEXT. varsha mase 2 divase e a[syam purvvayam] pena Bod[dhisat[v]o p[r]atis [th]apito ma[ta pitihi salha TRANSLATION.

The pedestal is one of the finest pieces of carving turned out by the Mathura school of sculptors. It represents two men of high rank sitting on a series of steps apparently conversing with each other. The heads of these figures are slightly damaged, but the execution is very fine. The mutilation of the first few letters of the inscription and the loss of the main figure is greatly to be deplored, as they would have been very important for the history of Indian sculpture. III.-INSCRIBED JAINA IMAGE, THE YEAR 9. Nothing is known about the findspot of this image. It stands in the Jaina section of the Lucknow Museum, and, judging from its workmanship, is most probably a product of the Mathura school. The discovery of the Bodhisattva images of Sarnath and Sravasti has made us chary in the matter of assigning findspots of antiquities extempore. No references either to the sculpture or to the inscription have been found in Dr. Fuhrer's Annual Reports or in the Minutes of the Lucknow Museum. The image is headless and belongs to the Digambara sect (Plate I., Front). The Jina evidently stands on a cushion placed on an opening lotus. To his proper right two men are standing with hands folded in adoration and their backs turned towards each other. To the proper left a female figurine stands with a flywhisk (?) in her hands. The image is carved in the round. On each flank is a tall slender pilaster with a bell shaped capital and a square abacus which again bears a couple of rosettes on its rim. The pilaster on the proper left has been damaged by the incision of a square mortise hole. The reverse is occupied by the representation of a tall tree with bunches of small four petalled flowers which resemble the atoka blossom. A female stands to the proper left of the tree holding a garland in the right hand, while in front of her a child stands with hands folded in adoration. To the right of the tree is a vessel made of leaves containing a garland and by its side a male is standing with clasped hands (see pl. I.). The inscription consists of three short, irregular lines, of which one is incised on the edge of the cushion and the others on the lotus petals; two short fragmentary lines are incised between the feet of the Jina. The language is the usual corrupt Sanskrit common in inscriptions of this kind and the characters are of the Northern Indian type of the Kushana period.

Remarks. 1. The first syllable of the word Sivasiri may also be read as Avasiri. 2. The word Ekradalasya may also be read Ekradalasya. The letters are of the ordinary crade form, so common in similar inscriptions on images from Mathuri. 3. It seems that the lotus petals were carved after the incision of the inscription. The loss of the letter sa in the word Tarikasya can hardly be otherwise accounted for. 4. The word sakhato has almost entirely vanished on account of the attempts of the mason employed by the Lucknow Museum authorities to remove the cement from the inscribed portion. 5. The reading of the last two words of the third line is ancertain. A copious use of cement has made them almost illegible. TRANSLATION. "Success.

The inscription between the feet of the Jina consists of two short lines : 1. Arya [A]ghe 2. masya sisini and seems to refer to the donor of the image.

In the centre of the bas-relief is a wheel on a short Indo-Corinthian pilaster with two capitals and a square a bacas, while a devotee is seated on the ground on each side. To the right of the pillar ten women are standing in two rows with garlands in their hands and to the left a group of ten mea in similar positions. So far as I know, the usual order has been reversed in this case. The majority of bas-reliets on the pedestals of images from Mathuri show the men on the right and the women to the left of the wheel. Nothing is known about the provenance of this image. It is now standing on a masonry pedestal without a label close to the entrance of the Jaina section. In his report for the month of April 1892, Dr. Fuhrer, as the Curator of the Lucknow Museum, reports the presentation of "1 pedestal (sic) of a statue of a Tirthamkara, inscribed Saka-Sat vat 10, excavated from the ancient site of a Digambara temple at Ramnagar in Rohilkhand."

This image was found in one of the smaller rooms of the Jaina section of the Lacknow Masuum without any label or number. There is no particular mention cither of the image or of the inscription in the Minutes or the Annual Reports of the Lucknow Provincial Museum. This is the only known statue of Sambhavanatha (Plate III.), the third Jina, discovered at Mathura during this period. Figures of Rishabhanitha, Neminatha, Parsvanatha and Mahavira have been met with. It is to be noted that Jaina images of the Scythian period cannot be identified satiofactorily unless the names are mentioned in their inscriptions. Most probably, distinctive symbols (chihna) were assigned to the respective Jinas at & much later period. Those distinguishing symbols have not been found in any Jaina image of the Scythian period discovered up to date. The earliest known Jaina statue with a distinctive symbol is the image of Rishabhanitha from the Kankali Tila mound near Mathuri figured in Mr. V. A. Smith's Jaina stupa (Plate XCVIII). Unfortunately it is uninscribed, but may be assigned to the 4th or the 5th century of the Christian era on account of its technique. The head and one arm are broken. The Tirthat kara is seated in the dhyanaudra postare on a throne supported by a couple of lions. The space under the throne between the lions is occupied by a bas-relief, showing the Triratna symbol resting on a small wheel and supporting a larger one. Two conches are leaning against the smaller wheel, while a small leaf is added to each side of the larger wheel. The grouping is exactly the same as on the Jaina pedestal, now in the Lucknow Museum, dedicated in the year 49. A male figure stands to the right of this group of symbols, and a female to the left. They bold flowers in their right bands while their left hands are akimbo. The inscription consists of four short lines.

The transcript of this inscription printed in my paper on "Mathura inscriptions in the Indian Maseum" (Jour. and Proc. A, S. B. Vol. V. p. 243) should be corrected in accordance with the foregoing text and translation. Remarks. 1. The king's name is undoubtedly spelt as Huvashka; cf. variants Huvaksha, Hushka, Huksha, etc. 2. There are no traces of the anusvara on the stone. 3. The possessive case ending is expressed in two ways:-varma [nah] and -varmasya. But it is to be noted that the visarga is not legible. 4. The final form of ma is important, as this is the earliest case known in Northern Indian inscriptions; above, Vol. I., p. 389, No. XIV. 5. This form occurs in another inscription of the same period (J. B. B. R. A. S. Vol. XX). VII-INSCRIBED JAINA IMAGE, THE YEAR 58. The inscription has already been published by the late Dr. Buhler (No. 42 of Prof. Luders' List, p. 8 f. above). When I was examining the characters of the inscriptions of the Scythian period, I was struck by the use of the word hapat in two dated inscriptions: (1) The inscription of the forty-fourth year of Huvishkat and (2) that of the eightieth year of Vasudeva.SS I. A. Vol. XXXIII. p. 101, No. II; above, Vol. IX. pp. 243 and 245. The The use of the word between the year and the month of a dated inscription can have no significance. word occurs also in the Mathura lion capital inscriptions (ante, Vol. IX. p. 141). Here however the context is different and Mr. F. W. Thomas has taken the word to denote a proper name. Ante, Vol. I. p. 387, No. 9 and Plate, SS Ibid. p. 392, No. 24 and Plate. Page #149 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 114 EPIGRAPHIA INDICA. [VOL. X. On examining the originals carefully I found that the date in one of them is not forty-four but fifty-eight, expressed in words. The following considerations led me to this conclusion:(1) The first syllable after the word sava [tsa]re has been read by Dr. Buhler as pla or the numerical symbol for 40. But it would be better to take it as a form of the letter a (cf. above, Vol. VIII. plate facing p. 176, i, f.). (2) The second syllable has been taken by Dr. Buhler to be a numerical symbol. But it is evidently the compound letter shta. The plate published along with this paper was prepared from an impression taken under my personal supervision and shows the letter shta better than the facsimile issued with Vol. I. of this Journal. (3) The third letter was taken by Dr. Buhler to be ha but the absence of the horizontal stroke at the top of the vertical line on the proper right shows that it is pa. The left hand vertical line is slightly curved, but it should be borne in mind that the characters of Jaina inscriptions of the period are always cursive; cf. the ha of Maharaja in the same line. The word pana occurs in two other Brahmi inscriptions from Mathura published by the late Dr. Buhler. One of them is dated in the year 50 (ante, Vol. II. p. 203, No. XVII), which is preceded by the word pana and the other in the year 52, to which is prefixed the word deapana (ibid. No. XVIII). In the present inscription we have got ashfapana, which I have rendered by fifty-eight.' The word pana is apparently an abbreviation of the Pali pannasa fifty. In the inscription of the year 80, where the word pana also occurs, according to Dr. Buhler's text, it is a misreading for hamata, as I shall show later on in this paper. With my corrections the text of the subjoined inscription runs as follows: 1 Sdha[m] Nama Sara [sa]tama Maharajas[ya] Huvakshasya sa[m]vasare ashtapana gra[sya] masa 3 [da]visa 2 e[ta]2 [syam] p[u]rva[yam] Pe (?) . . kadhi yato] sa gane(?)

There is a symbol preceding na of nama which I cannot explain. 2. Perhaps the word was pronounced davisa as is still the case in Bengal and Assam; read divasa. 3. There is an unexplained symbol after the akshara ye. Perhaps it is due to a crack in the stone. TRANSLATION. Success! Adoration!

Only the waist and the thighs of the Jina are extant (Plate IV). The piluster on the reverse is most probably the staff of the umbrella under which the image originally stood. Sach cases are by no means uncommon in the Mathuri sculptures of t1 Scythian period. The juscription, though fragmentary, is an important one. It presents a large number of difficulties both in decipherment and translation. The most important part however is the date which is fairls legible.

It resembles the symbol for 10 to some extent, but the presence of a numerical symbol at this place cannot be explained. 4. The remaining syllables in the third line seem to constitute & proper name with the genitive case ending. The letter na is rare in Mathura inscriptions, although it is to be found in the inscriptions of the Western Satraps. 5. Of more interest is the form sushots in the next line. The o in sho is formed by the combination of a and w and the affi, ti is quite new. It resembles to some extent the Bengali affis ta as in mamata," maternal uncle's son," pisata, "son of a paternal aunt." The word probably is an apabhrana of the Sanskrit svasriya and the whole phrase most probably means "sister's daughter's daughter." . TRANSLATION.

IX-INSCRIBED CHATURMUKHA FROM RAMNAGAR, THE YEAR 74. The discovery of this inscription was announced by Dr. Fuhrer in his Progress Report for the year 1891-92. But all the details bave been omitted. The inscription is incised on four sides of the pedestal of a Chaturmukha or four-fold image of a Tirtha kara, as Dr. Buhler used to call them (Plate VI). Each of the four faces of the pedestal bears a bas-relief. On the larger faces, the bas-relief consists of a wheel on an Indo-Persepolitan pilaster in the centre with three devotees, standing with folded hands, on each side. The bas-relief on the smaller faces is almost similar and consists of two devoteus only on each side of the pillar. The inscription consists of two lines-more or less mutilated-on each face. The second line of the third face has broken away. Tho-epigraph records the dedication of some object the name of which is lost, in the 74th year, "preen mably of the Kushana era.

This is the other inscription referred to above (p. 113 ) in which, according to Dr. Buhler, the word hana occurs. On comparing the original with the photo-lithograph published by Dr. Buhler it was found that the words hana va 1 as read by Buhler are nothing but hamava 1, which probably stands for hamata 1.

The inscription is incised along the raised border of a fragmentary bas-relief on yellow sandstone. The bas-relief consists of two panels with raised borders. The lower one is larger but its lower part is broken. The smaller panel at the top is in good preservation. It consists of a stupa in the centre with two Jinas on each side seated in the attitude of meditation under umbrellas. The Jina on the proper left of the stupa has no umbrella on his head. A sevenheaded snake takes the place of the umbrella and shows that it is Parsvanatha, the 23rd Tirthamkara. The inscription is incised on the rims at the top and bottom of this panel. The lower panel contains the upper part of a woman's figure standing with her left hand on her hips and the right one lifted up. A small inscription consisting of two lines has been incised over her right shoulder (A). To her left stands a nude male figure, evidently an ascetic, with a iece of cloth on his left wrist.

Smith (Jaina Stupa, p. 56, plate XCIX) the sculpture was discovered in the Kankali mound. The drawing published by him is inaccurate. The impression and photograph published herewith will show the details of the discrepancies. Mr. Smith's reading, based on his drawing, is also incorrect. Inscriptions on waist bands are very unoommon in India. TEXT. 1 Pusabalaye danel Dhama2 radhakasa [bha)yayo. TRANSLATION. "The gift of Pusabala, the wife of Dhamavadhaka (Dharmavardhaka)." XV.-FRAGMENT OF AN INSCRIBED PAVEMENT SLAB. The scalptare on which this inscription has been incised is evidently a fragment of a pavement slab. The carving consists of an ornamental border of twisted rope pattern with cylindrical clasps at corners. The accompanying photograph (Plate VI) shows a fragment of another similar scnlpture. The inscription on it has been edited by Dr. Buhler (No. 113 of Professor Luders' List, above, p. 20). The ornamentation is precisely the same, the place of the rope pattern being taken by lotus petals. The upper right hand corner bears some chisel marks apparently unexplainable. But the other scalpture mentioned above most probably affords & means of explanation. The inscription on that sculpture too, which is entire, has been published by Dr. Buhler (No. 119 of Professor Luders' List, above, p. 21). The ornamentation is precisely the same as in the two fragments pablished herewith on plate VI. The only difference is that there is a large square hole in the centre of the slab. This, I believe, explains the chisel marks on the larger slab in the photograph. This slab, then, must have had a similar hole in its centre. The object of these square holes is not very difficult to describe. Several of the Jaina statues in the Lucknow Maseam possees massive tenons under the bases. These tenons were most probably let into the equa10 mortise holes in the pavement slabs. This supposition is strengthened by the fact that the inscriptions on similar slabs are not incised near the centre but along the borders. The majority of images of this period were carved in the round and were placed inside rooms or shrines paved with similarly carved slabs. TEXT. dhita Mitrayo [danam(r)]. Gosalasy Read danam.

The date is perfectly regular, and corresponds to Wednesday, December 29, 1053 A.D. On that day, which was the sixth solar day of Makara, at mean sunrise, the socond tithi of the second fortnight of Pausha was current, and it lasted for 19 h. 12 m. Aelesha was the nakshatra at mean sunrise by all systems. It expired by the equal space system 21 h. 22 m., by Garga 9 h. 14 m., and by the Brahma-siddhanta 6 h. 49 m. later. In his Annual Report for 1907 Mr. Venkayya states his opinion (para. 56) that Rajadhiraja I. lived till A.D. 1057-58 with his younger brother Rajendradeva as co-regent towards the close of his reign. We have now two dates at least of Rajadhiraja I. later than the accession day of his successor, viz.

"In the third year (of the reign) of the emperor of the three worlds, the glorious Vikrama-Choladeva,- on the day of Hasta, which corresponded to a Mouday and to the seventh tithi of the second fortnight of the month of Makara." This date is irregular. Kielhorn has clearly established the 29th June, A.D. 1118, to be the accession-day of Vikrama. The solar month of Makara in his third year must therefore fall early in A.D. 1121. The seventh tithi of the second fortnight in Makara of that year fell on a large portion of Wednesday, January 12, 1121, and a small portion of Thursday, January 13th. During that seventh tithi the nakshatras were Chitra and Svati. The fifth tithi, however, of the second fortnight (if we may assume a mistake to have occurred) of this month of Makara seems a little closer. It fell on Monday, January 10, 1121 A.D., which was the 18th of Makara. The tithi lasted for about 23 h. 19 m. after mean sunrise. On that day Hasta began, by the equal space system and by Garga, 8 h. 31 m., and by the Brahma-siddhanta, 5 h. 7 m. after mean sunrise; but according to the usual custom the day would have been called, not Hasta but Uttara-Phalguni. It is possible that the seventh was wrongly quoted for the fifth tithi; but the date is doubtful in any case.2 1 No. 491 of the Madras Epigraphical collection for 1907. Mr. Venkayya assures me that in the original the word fattami is quite distinct. I think it is safe to assume that the date is genuine, but that the 7th tithi was quoted by mistake for the 5th.

This date is irregular. Simha in the fifth year of Vikrama-Chola fell in A.D. 1122. On Wednesday, August 16th of that year, which was the 20th Simha, the twelfth tithi of the bright fortnight of Bhadrapada ended and the 13th began about 16 h. 5 m. after mean sunrise ; bat the nakshatras during those two tithis were Uttarashadha, Abhijit and Sravana. It is useless to go into further details. A comparison of this date with Kielhorn's No. 22 (p. 3, Vol. VII. above) shows this at once. That inscription mentioned the day of Ardra, which corresponded to Monday, and with the eleventh tithi of the second fortnight of Sravana in solar Simha in the fifth year of the king. That date is perfectly regular for July 31st, A.D. 1122. Now the present date is seventeen days later than No. 22, and it is clear that a day seventeen days later than Ardra cannot possibly fall under the nakshatra Hasta. On the supposition that in the original the quoted nakshatra might have been Avittattu instead of Attattu, i.e. Dhanishtha instead of Hasta, the date still works out incorrectly. The thirteenth tithi of the first fortnight of Bhadrapada in solar Simha in the year in question could be connected for the time lying between 9 h. 50 m. and 15 h. 22 m. after mean sunrise on Thurs. day, August 17th, A.D. 1122, with the nakshatra Dhanishtha; but the week-day has been given as Wednesday in the inscription. Moreover the day which would be called the day of Dhanishtha was Friday. 184.

This date is also unsatisfactory, the elements being uncertain. There seems to be no doubt that it belongs to the 6th year of Vikrama-Chola, and probably, almost certainly, to the month Simba. It is not certain which lunar fortnight is referred to. The day was Thursday; but the nakshatra can only be guessed at from two unmutilated aksharas. These are "-d. . ttu." The word which follows pakkattu is guessed to be piradasikam from the final akshara -kam,' and 1 No. 490 of the Madras Epigraphical collection for 1907. Since the text was in print Mr. Venkayya has examined the original and found that attattu is quite clear. The date remains unsatisfactory. The day in Simha in the year in question which corresponds to the nakshatra Hasta is August 7th A.D. 1122. At sunrise on that day, the third tithi of the bright fortnight was current. But the week-day was Monday, not Wednesday. No. 489 of the Madras Epigraphical collection for 1907. The nearest approach to this word in Sanskrit is pradoshaka, which denotes the evening of the thirteenth tithi in a lunar fortnight. R 2 Page #169 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 124 EPIGRAPHIA INDICA. [VOL. X. from this it has been aggumed that the tithi in question was the thirtoenth of the fortnight (see note 4, p. 123). Now in the year A.D. 1123 which, after June 29th, was the sixth year of Vikrama-Chola, in the month Simha, the thirteenth tithi of the first fortniglit fell on Monday and all the thirteenth tithi of the second fortnight also fell on a Monday (except that it expired 4 ininutes after mean sunrise on the Tuesday). I tested the date on the basis of the nakshatra, to see what days corresponded with Satabhishaj in that month of Simha. By the equal space system Satabhiehaj expired 15 h. 13 m. after mean sunrise on Thursday, August 9th, A.D. 1123, which was the first day of the second fortnight, and was the thirteenth day of Simha. On that Thursday the first tithi of the second fortnight began 4 minutes before mean Bunrise and lasted all day. By the system of Garga Satabhishaj expired 3 h. 20 m., and by the Brahma-siddhanta 4 b. 24 m, after mean sunrise. There was no other Satabhishaj in that month of Simha. . Now this day Thursday, August 9th, A.D. 1123, exactly fits the elements of the given date if in the original the word following "pakkattu" was not piradasika (for pradoshaka) but some word inplying the first tithi of the second fortnight. 185.- In the Uttaravedisvara temple at Kuttalam.3 1 Svasti sri (0*) Tiribavanachchak2 karavattiga! 6v[i]-Vikkirama-So3 ladevarki yao[da] etta[rada Magara)-nayarru parvva-pakshattu na 4 vamiyum Sani-kkila(mai]yum [p]erra [A]gulattianal. "In the eighth year of the reign of the emperor of the three worlds, the glorious Vikrama-Choladeva, -on the day of Anuradb., which corresponded to a Saturday and to the ninth tithi of the first fortnight of the month of [Makars)." This date has given me a great deal of trouble. According to the transliteration given above, the 8th regnal year is clearly decipherable; the solar month is doubtful; the lunar day and fortnight are clear; and so are the weekday and nakshatra. This being so, I bare tested all the days in the 8th regnal year of Vikrama-Chola corresponding to the ninth tithi of the first fortnight in each month, and without success. The nearest approach was in the month Sirha. The eighth tithi of the first lunar fortnight of Sravapa in that solar month expired 13 h. 15 m. after mean sunrise on a Saturday, which was the twelfth day of Simbs, and corresponded to Saturday, August 8th, A.D. 1125. At that moment the ninth tithi began, viz. at about 7-15 P.M. on the Saturday. But according to the equal space system, the nakshatra, which had been Anaradha up to about 5-4 P.M. that day or 11 h. 4 m. after mean sonrise, changed at that moment to Jyeshtha; so that Annradha had expired 2 h 11 m. before the ninth tithi began. Using the system of Garga the result is the same. By the Brahma-siddhanta the nakshatra Anuradha expired 6 h. 14 m. after mean sunrise. As a fact, therefore, there was no period which satisfies all the requirements. The ninth tithi of Makara fell on a Monday and Tuesday, with the nakshatras Bharani and Krittika. The date cannot be depended upon. 1 Except for 34 m. before mean sunrise on the Friday. * Mr. Veoknyya has kindly examined the original since this article was in print, and is inclined to think that the word following pakkattu may be pira[pildigam, which may be meant for piratipadigam, i.e. pratipat, the first tithi' I think therefore that the date given in the last paragraph may be accepted. * No. 492 of the Madras Epigraphical collection for 1907. * Mr. Venkayya tells me, since the above was in print, that no reading but malara is possible for the solar month. In that month, in the eighth year of Vikrama-Chola, the day of Anuradha wa Tuesday, corresponding to Tannery 10th A.D. 1126, at sunrise on which day the ninth tithi of the second fortnight was current. If two mistakes were made, both in the fortnight and in the week-day, the day mentioned may be the one intended. But this cannot be depended upon.

The elements of this date are inaccurate for the now known eighth regnal year of Kulottunga-Chola I., as also for his eighth year as an Eastern Chalukya sovereign; the former corresponding with A.D. 1077-78, the latter with 1070-71. They are also inaccurate for the eighth year of Kulottunga-Chola III. For the reign of Kulottunga-Chola II., whose accession-date has not yet been fixed, but who certainly succeeded Vikrama-Chola and proceded Rajaraja II., I have examined the given date in every year from 1135 to 1152 A.D. which appeared to me the outside limits of possibility. The king known as " Kulottunga-Choda" is shown by the Chellur plates (Ind. Ant. XIV. 55 ff.) to be identical with this Kulottunga-Chola II. Kielhorn has shown (above, Vol. VII. p. 9) that he was living in A.D. 1143. He was the son of Vikrama. It is desirable that I should publish the nearest approximations to correctness that occur in the period 1135-1152 A.D., so that those thoroughly acquainted with South-Indian practice as regards the joining of special rites and festivals with the civil days may be enabled to decide whether in any of those cases all the requirements of the date are satisfied. For other years the date is irregular. 1. The Kumbha-samkranti of Kaliyuga 4238 occurred 23 h. 51 m. after mean sunrise on Friday, January 22nd, A.D. 1137. The fourteenth tithi of the second fortnight of Magha expired 10 h. 7 m. after mean sunrise on that day, and was not current at the following midnight; and at that midnight the actually current solar month was not Kumbha but Makara, though the Kumbha-samkranti occurred 5 h. 51 m. later. As to the nakshatra it was Sravana at mean sunrise on the Friday and until 21 h. 30 m. later; Sravapa was therefore current at the midnight of Friday. Now, if the Maha-Sivaratri festival, which occurs at midnight, could be connected with the fourteenth tithi which had expired 7 h. 53 m. before the Friday midnightthen the elements Friday, the fourteenth tithi of the second fortnight, the Sivaratri festival and the Sravana nakshatra, all agree with this date. But even then I hardly think that the festival could be connected with the solar month Kumbha, whose initial samkranti did not occur till 5 h. 51 m. after that midnight. The date is therefore doubtful. If experts in South-Indian rites and ceremonies can reconcile all the elements, then the date may correspond to Friday, January 22nd, A.D. 1137. There was another fourteenth day of the second fortnight, vis. of Phalguna, in this month of Kumbha, but it does not suit the other elements of the given date. 2. The Kumbha-samkranti of Kaliyuga 4242 occurred 41 m. after mean sunrise on Thursday, January 23rd, A.D. 1141, and at mean sunrise on Friday, February 7th, in that year the fourteenth tithi of the second fortnight of Magha was current. It expired 16 h. 26 m. after mean sunrise, and consequently was not current at midnight. Considering, however, that it was current on the Friday till within 1 h. 34 m. of midnight, it is possible that the 1 No. 572 of the Madras Epigraphical collection for 1907. Page #171 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 126 EPIGRAPHIA INDICA. [VOL. X. Maha-Sivaratri which took place at that midnight might have been connected with it. In Professor Kielhorn's notes on Hindu Festal Days, I find that the Maha-Sivaratri festival of the 14th krishna of Magha is considered very auspicious when it is joined with the yoga Siva, and this happened to be the case on this particular Friday. The yoga Parigha ended shortly after sunrise on that day, and Siva was current at the following midnight, or at the moment of the Sivaratri. The date, however, is unsatisfactory in the matter of the nakshatra. The nakshatra Sravana had expired 3 h. 9 m. before mean sunrise on that Friday, and during the whole of Friday, including the Sivaratri moment of midnight, the nakshatra was Dhanishtha. 3. On the twelfth day of Kumbha, Kaliyuga 4245, which corresponded to Friday, February 4th, A.D. 1144, the fourteenth tithi of the secoud fortnight of Magha expired 13 h. 58 m. after mean sunrise. It was not therefore current at the Friday midnight, but nevertheless the Friday would have been coupled with it. This day, the fourteenth of the dark fortnight of Magha, was the day of the Maha-Sivaratri festival; and the occasion was especially auspicious, because the hour of midnight coincided with the yoga Siva. The yoga at mean sunrise was Parigha, but Siva began at 9-4 P.M. and was current at midnight. The nakshatra Sravana expired, by the equal space system, 51 m. after mean sunrise on Friday, and the same by Garga. By the Brahma-siddhanta it expired 2 h. 18 m. after sunrise. I find no fault in this date. 4. On the twenty-fourth day of Kumbha, Kaliyuga 4252, which corresponded to Friday, February 16th, 1151 A.D., the fourteenth tithi of the second fortnight of Magha, which was a Maha-Sivaratri day, began 6 h. 35 m. after mean sunrise, was current at midnight, which was the moment of the festival, and expired 8 h. 9 m. after mean sunrise on the Saturday. The nakshatra Sravana had, however, expired before sunrise on that Friday by all systems, and during the whole of that day and till very shortly before sunrise on the Saturday the ruling nakshatra was Dhanishtha. Satabhishaj began 1 h. 34 m. before sunrise on the Saturday, by the equal space system and Garga. This date therefore would be satisfactory if the nakshatra had been quoted as Dhanishtha and not Sravana; but I consider the date, February A.D. 1151, too late to be in the eighth year of Kulottunga-Chola II. He succeeded Vikrama whose reign began in A.D. 1118, and who is declared by several inscriptions to have reigned for 15 years, though we have records of him as late as 1135 A.D. That, however, is his latest known date. Of the four dates now analyzed, the nearest, and in my opinion the most probable, is No. 3, viz. Friday, February 4th, A.D. 1144. The Chellar grant of this king appears to have been issued in 1143, but the regnal year is not given there. If I am right, the present inscription would make the reign begin between February 5th A.D. 1136 and February 4th A.D. 1137.3 " D.-RAJADHIRAJA II.

I have tested all the years bearing the cyclic name Hemalamba from A.D. 997, which was the twelfth regnal year of Rajaraja-Chola I. down to A.D. 1297, which might possibly have been in the reign of a king hitherto unknown to us by name. In no case, however, are all the elements of the date reconciled except in A.D. 1177, which was a Hemalamba year, but was the fifteenth and not the twelfth regnal year of Rajadhiraja II. From the date alone I am led to believe that the inscription records an event in the fifteenth year of Rajadhiraja II. corresponding to Saturday, January 21st, A.D. 1178, which was the 28th day of Makara. On that day, at mean sunrise, the first tithi of the first fortnight of Magha was current, and the nakshatra was Sravishtha. The tithi ended 20 h. 28 m.; and the nakshatra, by the equal space system and Garga, ended 12 h. 0 m. and by the Brahma-siddhanta 13 h. 7 m. after mean sunrise. If I am correct, this inscription brings the reign of Rajadhiraja II. down to within six months of the accession of Kulottunga-Chola III. in July A.D. 1178. It should be noted that all the five inscriptions of this king examined by Kielhorn begin with the words kadal sunda. * 1 Sva[sti] sr[i]: Puyal [vayttu].. 10 ko-Ppara 11 ke[sariparn]mar-aga Tiri[ba]vana [chcha]kkaravartti sda [rulina E.

The regnal year of Kulottunga-Chola III. is now clearly established by the labours of Professor Kielhorn, and we know that the 17th year of that king began between the 6th and 8th July, A.D. 1194. On the fifth day of Kumbha in the seventeenth regnal year, which corresponds to Saturday, January 28th 1195, the first tiihi of the second fortnight was current at mean sunrise and it expired 14 h. 10 m. later. So far the date given is regular. But the nakshatras during that day were Magha and Purra-Phalguni. On Saturday, a week later, viz. February 4th, the nakshatra was Anuradha, and if for 'first' tithi we could read 'eighth,' the date would be perfectly regular. But this would not be permissible considering that the word 'first' is clearly expressed in letters and not in figures. It is possible that the date is genuine and incorrect only in giving the wrong nakshatra.3 It would be irregular for the seventeenth regnal year of Kulottunga I. As for Kalottunga II. we do not as yet know his initial date, and the attempts I have made to guess at it from this inscription have proved fruitless; no year that I have attempted as his possible 17th giving me elements exactly meeting those of the inscription. The date is therefore unsatisfactory, but this is unimportant as others of the same regnal year have been found correct (above, Vol. VII. p. 172). In the thirty-seven dates of inscriptions in this reign examined by Kielhorn, there are no less than eleven instances of wrong quotation in the originals (above, Vol. IX. pp. 220-21). No. 353 of the Madras Epigraphical collection for 1907. 2 The date should be compared with Kielhorn's No. 69 (above, Vol. VII. p. 172). The solar month in each case is Kumbha in the king's 17th year. At mean sunrise on the first civil day of that month, which corresponded to January 24th, A.D. 1195, the eleventh day of the bright fortnight of Magha had only 9 minutes to run. Four days later was the date given in the text. Sixteen days after this, viz. on the 21st Kumbha or the 18th February, was Kielhorn's date No. 69, where the nakshatra was Uttara-Bhadrapada. A date 16 days earlier than that could not have had Anuradha for its nakshatra; so it is clear that the record is intrinsically wrong.

This is precisely the same date as the last, and it is barely possible that it might be regular if the original contained the week-day "Sanday''; but this is unlikely, since the nakshatra Punarvasu could only be connected with the Sanday by the systems of Garga and the Brahmasiddhanta ; and then only for 31 m. before mean sunrise on the Monday by the former, and for 2 h. 6 m. by the letter.

This date is correct in all particolars. The cyclic year Sukla in question was A.D. 1209-10; and the vernal equinox on the 24th March, A.D. 1203, was in the thirty-first year of Kuulottunga-Chola III. That day was a Tuesday, and was the last day of the month Mina. The Ternal equinox occurred at 18 h. 22 m. after mean sunrise by the Arya-siddhanta, and 19 h. 40 m. after it by the Sarya-siddbanta. Whichever authority was used the result is similar. At mean sunrise that day the first tithi of the second fortnight of Chaitra was current, and it lasted for 4 h. 32 m. The nakshatra Svati was current at mean sanrise, and expired by the equal-space systemu 20 h. 23 m. later, by Garga 8h. 11 m. later, and by the Brahmasiddhanta 4 h. 4 m. later. It is evident from this that the calculators who framed the calendars of that time and place coupled with the day on which the vernal equinox occurred the name of the tithi current at mean sunrise of that day, and not tbe name of the tithi actually current at the moment of the equinox. For, at the moment of the vernal equinox, the second tithi of the second fortnight was current. This adhesion to mean suprise as fixing the tithi coupled with the day is strongly marked in Kielhorn's Chola No. 70 (above, Vol. VII., pp. 172-3) where, though a thirteenth tithi ended only a mindte or two after mean sunrise, it is meutioned as the day's equivalent tithi, in lieu of the 14th. 170.-In the Pafichanadesvara temple at Mayavaram. 1 -III Svasti sri [11*] Tiribavanachcha[k]. 2 karavarttiga[1] Marudaiyam Isla3 mun]-Gar[u]y[uru]m [Paldisya]n miudi4 ttalaiya]i=go[o]daru![i] v[i]rar-[a] bhi she5 ka}mum vijaiyar-[a]bbishekama[m 6 palopi-aruli ya T Jir[i]buvaga virade). 7 varkku yiodu 33 Ishabha-n[aya)rra 48 [pa]ra-bha(pa)ksbattu [da]sami yums T)ingat-kila[mai]go[m 9 perra Ut]tirattad[i]-na[!].

" In the fourteenth year (of the reign) of the emperor of the three worlds, the glorious Rajarajadeva, on the day of Rohini, which cerresponded to a Sunday and to the third tithi of the second fortnight of the month of Tula." This date regularly corresponds to Sunday, October 7th, A.D. 1229, and the tenth day of Tula, in the fourteenth year of Rajaraja III. On that day, the third tithi of the second fortnight of Asvina expired 5 h. 23 m. after mean sunrise, while the nakshatra which was current at that moment was Rohini by all systems. It expired, by the equal space system and by Garga, 20 h. 31 m., and by the Brahma-siddhanta 19 h. 25 m. after mean sunrise. 183.- In the Saumyanathasvamin templo at Nandalur.3 1 Syasti Sri [] Rajarajadevarka yanda [22] 2 avad-apa Homalambi-samvassa (samvatsaratta-kku3 [m]bha-nayatru apara-pakshatta shashtiyum Sani4 kkilamaiyam petra Sodi-na! 13 .

The first of these dates corresponds to Saturday, February 6th, A.D. 1238, which was the fourteenth day of Kumbha. At mean sunrise on that day the sixth tithi of the second fortnight of Magba, which had begun 30 m. earlier, was carrent. By the equal-space system the nakshatra Svati was current, ending 12 h.55 m., and by Garga also, ending 43 m., after mean sunrise.

At mean sunrise on that day, the third tithi of the second fortnight of Karttika was corrent, ending 6 h. 23 m. later; the nakshatra Mrigasirsha, however, only began, by the equal space system and that of Garga, 4 h. 39 m. after mean bunrise, and by the Brahma-siddhanta 3 h. 32 m. after it. The nakshatra at mean sunrise was by all systems Rohini. Still I have little doubt that the date is as above stated, although the nakshatra allotted to it is not very accurate. 184.-In the Mahalingasvamin temple at Tiruvidaimarudur.. i Svast[i] sr[i] [1] T[i]r[i]buvagachchakravattigal sri-[I]rabarabadeva[r*]k[ku] yanda 27 avadu Magara-na ya]eru paruva-pakshattu paojamiyum Budag-kilamaiyum peria Pa[sa]ttu na!.

The fifth tithi in question gives a totally wrong result in this date, but the fifteenth is in accord with the other details. If this mistake were made by the engravers, the date would correspond to Wednesday, January 7th, A.D. 1248 On that day, which was in the twenty-seventh year of Rajaraja III. and was the thirteenth day of Makara, the fifteenth tithi of the first fortnight of Pausba was current at mean sunrise and ended 19 h. 58 m. later. The nakshatra, by the equal space system and by Garge, was Pacarvasu at mean sunrise ; but Pashya began 1 h. 46 m. later, and was therefore current during seventeen hours of the fifteenth tithi in question. By the Brahma-siddhanta Pushya had begun 16 m. before sunrise. There can be little doubt that the tithi should have been quoted as the fifteenth instead of the fifth.

This date might be accurate for the fifteenth year of Rajendra-Chola II., otherwise called Kulottudga-Chola I., and is certainly accurate for the fifteenth year of Rajandra-Ohola III. In the former case most of the elements coincide, the date being Thursday, October 10th, A.D. 1084, at mean sunrise on which day the ninth tithi of the first fortnight of Kirttika was current, expiring 19 h. 29 m. later; but the wakshatra at mean sunrise was Sravana, Sravishtha (or Dhanishtha) beginning 4 h. 39 m. later by the equal space system and Garga, and 6 h. 6 m. later by the Bralima-siddhanta.

(Vol. X Bat for the fifteenth year of Rajendra-Chola III. all the elements of the date coincide. In that year on Thursday, October 14th, A.D. 1260, which was the seventeenth day of Tula, the ninih tithi of the first fortnight of Kurttika ended 16 h. 55 m. after mean sunrise ; the nak. shatra Sravishtha was current at mean sunrise by all systems, expiring 21 b. 14 m. later by the equal-space system and by Garga, and 22 h. 21 m. later by the Brahma-siddhanta I am inclined, therefore, to think that the latter date is the correct one, but the matter can certainly be settled on epigraphic grounds, there being a wide difference between the characters of an inscription of A.D. 1084 and one of A.D. 1260. I have not had a facsimile of the original before me. The date is incorrect for the fifteenth year of Rajendra-Chola I. in respect of the week day; and Rajendradeva did not reign for Bfteen years, so far as is yet known. Since the above notes were in print Mr. Venkayya has kindly sent me the following five antes relating to the reign of Kulottunga-Choda II., whose accession-date has not yet been fixed.

The only test possible in the case of dates given in this form is to ascertain whether the week-day corresponds with the other data. In this case it does so, and I have no doubt as to its correctness. On Monday, February 12th, A.D. 1145, which corresponds to the Saka year 1066, expired, at mean sunrise, the 3rd tithi of the dark fortnight of Phalguna was current. It expired 4 h. 24 m. later. 187.-In the Bhavanarayanasvamin temple at Bapatla." 1 Svasti Srimast*]-Tribhuvanacbakrava] [rti fri-Kulo*]ttungga-Chodaderara vijaya-ri2 iya-samvatsaramulu 16gu brahi Saka-varushambulu 1071n=erti Chaitra3 suddha-pamchadasiyu Sukravaramu-namdu.

The date 18 correct. Chaitra in Saka 1071 expired fell in A.D. 1149. On Friday, March 25th, A.D. 1149, the 15th tithi of the first fortnight of Chaitra was current, expiring 23 h, 53 m. after mean sunrise.

This date is also correct. On Tuesday, August 4th, A.D. 1138, which corresponded to Saka 1038 expired, the 5th tithi of the bright fortnight of Bhadrapada was current, the day being the 9th of the mouth Simha.

The day in question was Wednesday, July 14th, A.D. 1143. On this day at mean sunrise the 15th tithi of the dark half of Ashadha was current, the exact moment of the new-moon being 4 b. 2 m. later. The yoga Vyatipata began on that day at 4 h. 35 m. after mean sunrise and lasted all day. It therefore began 33 m. after new-moon. 190.-In the Bhavanarayanasvamin temple at Bapatla.

I find this date unsatisfactory. Saka 1064 expired was the cyclic year Dundubhi, and the date ought to fall in Jane or July A.D. 1142 according as the Ashadha in question was the adhika or nija Ashadha, for that month was intercalary in that year. The Ilth tithi of the bright fortnight of adhika Ashadba fell in that year on a Saturday. The same tithi of nija No. 183 of the Madras Epigraphical collection for 1897. ?

Ashadha fell on Sunday. Thinking that a mistake might have been made in the fortnight I tested the 11th tithi of the dark fortnight in both months, finding the week-days Sunday in adhika Ashadha and Monday in nija Ashadha. In the latter case, the 11th tithi of the dark fortnight had expired 3 h. 45 m. before mean sunrise on the Tuesday. The result of the examination of Nos. 186, 187, 188, 189, is to show that the date of the accession of Kulottunga-Choda II. lies between March 28th and July 14th, A.D. 1133. This leads me to reconsider the four possible dates given to No. 166 (above, p. 125 f.). That date was in this king's eighth year; and while (having that date alone to go by) I stated my opinion that it corresponded to the third of my results, in which date I could find no fault in the elements, vis. Friday, February 4th, A.D. 1144, I now think that the second of my results is the true one, namely, Friday, February 7th, A.D. 1141. Its defect lay in the fact that the quoted nakshatra, Sravana, was one which had expired three hours before mean sunrise on that day, and which could not therefore properly be connected with the Friday, Dhanishtha being the correct nakshatra. But otherwise the result showed that the combination of elements on that day was highly suspicious, and I am of opinion that this fixture may now be accepted, and that the framers of the inscription had made a mistake in their calculation of the nakshatra. February 7th 1141 A.D. would fall in this king's 8th year. The mention of the Saka year in combination with the regnal year in the four regular dates given above may be accepted, for the present at least, as determining the data of accession of Kulottunga-Chola II. It follows that March 24th, A.D. 1143, the date of the Chelldr plates (Ind. Ant. Vol. XIV. p. 56 ff.; above, Vol. VII, pp. 9-10) fell in this king's tenth year. No. 25.-DATES OF PANDYA KINGS.

This inscription proves that the Pandya king Mayavarman Sundars-Pandya I., whose reign has been determined by the late Professor Kielhorn to have begun between the 29th March and the 4th September A.D. 1216, reigned to a later date than has been previously supposed. The latest date hitherto verified of this king is, I believe, the 19th February, A.D. 1235 (above, Vol. VI. p. 303). This appears in an inscription at Tinnevelly.

On Thursday, January 29th, A.D. 1237, the first day of the bright fortnight of Phalguna ended 5 h. 31 m. after mean sunrise. The solar day was the 6th Kumbha. By the equal space system the nakshatra Satabhishaj was current at mean sunrise and ended 9 h. 46 m. later. By the system of Garga Sata uhishaj had expired 2 h. 22 m. before sunrise; and by the Brahma-sidd banta it had expired 1 h. 19 m. before sunrise. This seems to show that the equal space system of nakshatras was used at that time and place. The inscription does not affect Professor Kielhorn's limits (March 29th to September 4th) for the beginning of the reign of this king.

This date is precisely correct for the Vira-Pandys, of whom two inscriptions, vis. in his 7th and 15th years, have been published by Professor Kielhorn (above, Vol. VII. pp. 10-11). His reign began, according to that authority, between 11th November 1252 and 13th July 1253. The 10th November 1267 was in his 15th year, and the present date is correct in all respects for 8th August 1269. It is incorrect for the years 1270 and 1271. In 1269 the 10th tithi of the bright fortnight of Bhadrapada ended 18 h. 55 m. after mean sunrise on the 11th day of solar Simha, which corresponded to Thursday, 8th August, A.D. 1269. On that day the nakshatra was, by the system of Garga, Mala for 13 h. 58 m. after mean sunrise, and by the Brahma-siddhanta, for 8 h. 39 m. By the equal space system it was Jyeshtha for 1 h. 50 m. after mean sunrise, and then Mula for the rest of the day. The date confirms Professor Kielhorn's limits for the accession of this king. It also confirms the suggestion made by Mr. Venkayya in his Annual Report for 1907-8, para. 45, that the Vira-Pandya who immediately preceded Maravarman Kulasekhara I. was the same as this Jatavarman Vira-Pandya. Henceforth we may give him his proper title. Since his reign began in A.D. 1252-53 and lasted at least 17 years, Jatavarman ViraPandya was ruling for at least 8 years at the same time as Jatavarman Sandara-Papdya I. whose reign began in 1251 and lasted till at least 1261 A.D. Moreover he is recognized in this inscription as sovereign in. A.D. 1269, while we have Maravarman Kulasekhara I.'s accession in June 1268. 1 No. 131 of the Madras Epigraphical collection for 1907.

The accession of this king is fixed by Kielhorn between the 2nd and 27th June A.D. 1268. The 3rd year began in A.D. 1270, and the 30th in A.D. 1297. The given data will fall either in A.D. 1271 or 1298 if correct. As it happens it is equally true for either A.D. 1271 or 1298. [VOL. X. In 1271 the 4th tithi of the first fortnight of luni-solar Jyaishtha expired 16 h. 47 m. after mean sunrise on Thursday, the 19th day of solar Vrishabha, which corresponded to Thursday, May 14th, A.D. 1271. On that day the nakshatra Punarvasu ended by the equal space system, at 10 h. 41 m. after mean sunrise; by the system of Garga the same; by the Brahma-siddhanta at 8 h. 39 m., after mean sunrise. In 1298 the 4th tithi of the first fortnight of luni-solar Jyaishtha expired 19 h. 29 m. after mean sunrise on Thursday, the 21st day of solar Vrishabha, which corresponded to Thursday, 15th May, A.D. 1288. On that day the nakshatra Punarvasu ended, by the equal space system and the system of Garga, at 11 h. 28 m., and by the Brahma-siddhanta at 9 h. 26 m., after mean sunrise.

In that month the fifth tithi of luni-solar Karttika fell on Friday, November 26th, the 29th day of solar Vrischika, and the nakshatras during that day were a large part of Dhanishtha and a smaller part of Satabhishaj. Calculations for 1284 A.D. prove equally unsatisfactory, the fifth of the bright lunar fortnight in solar Vrischika ending on Tuesday, November 14th, at 3 h. 7 m. after sunrise, the nakshatra during that period being Sravana by all systems.

This is the latest date yet found of this king. The date is regular for Monday, 9th June, A.D. 1309, and irregular for A.D. 1307 or 1308. On 9th June, A.D. 1309, which was the fourteenth solar day of Ani (or Mithuna) and a Monday, the first tithi of the bright fortnight of lunisolar Ashadha ended 14 h. 14 m. after sunrise. The nakshatra Punarvasu by the equal space system began, on that day, at 6 h. 6 m. after sunrise and lasted the rest of the day. By the system of Garga and by the Brahma-siddhanta it lasted all day. The inscription proves that the king's reign could not have begun before 10th June 1268, and gives us as the limit of possible accession the period June 10th to June 27th, 1288 A.D. D.

This date is correct in every respect except perhaps in the matter of the regnal year. It belongs to the reign of Jatavarman Sundara-Pandya II., in whose reign occurred the year Vyaya. There was no such year in the reign of Jatavarman Sundara-Pandya I., which lasted from April, A.D. 1251 till at least July 19, A.D. 1261, that being the last date we have at present of him. In the cyclic year Vyaya, the second solar day of Tula corresponded to Monday, September 30, A.D. 1286, On that day the twelfth tithi of luni-solar Asvina, which was current at mean sunrise, ended 22 h, 54 m. later; the nakshatra Satabhishaj was current by the equal space system for 10 h. 49 m. after mean sunrise, but by the unequal space systems it had expired shortly before sunrise. I have summarised below the state of our knowledge regarding the accession of this king. The date in question, if the regnal year is correct, fixes the king's accession on or later than 1st October 1276; but this contradicts the results of some other inscriptions.

This date is regular, and belongs to the reign of Jatavarman Sundara-Pandya II., as there was no cyclic year called Virodhin in the reign of Jatavarman Saudara-Pandya I. The day in question was Monday, February 20th, A.D. 1200. On that day the tenth tithi of the first fortnight of the lani-solar month Phalguna ended 13 h. 45 m. after mean sunrise. During all that period the nakshatra was Punarvasu by both the unequal space systems. By the equal space system Punarvasu began 1 h. 23 m. after sunrise and lasted all day. It appears that the regnal year in this inscription is illegible, and we cannot therefore argue from it. 76.- In the Saumyanathasvamin temple at Nandalur. 9 Sri-Sandara-Pandyade vakku 2 yindul 17 a vndu Nanda(na)-Ssan vasarattu Mina-niya]r[ru] purvva3 pakshattu dasamiyum Budhan-kilamaiyum porra Pasattu na "In the 17th year of the reign) of the glorious Sundara-Pandyadeva, on the day of Pushya, which corresponded to a Wednesday and to the tenth tithi of the first fortnight of the month of Mina in the (cyclic) year Nandana." This date must either belong to the reign of Maravarman Sundara-Papdya I., in whose seventeenth year, 1232-33 A.D. there was a cyclic Nandana; or to that of Jatavarman SandaraPandya II., in whose seventeenth year, 1292-93 A.D. (if he reigned so long) there was another Nandana. It could not be the Nandana 1532-33 A.D., in the reign of Masavarman SandaraPandya Konermaiko dan, because that year was only the second of the reign; nor could it belong to the reign of any other known Sandara-Pandya, as in these there was no such cyclic year. Examining the date for A.D. 1232-33 I find that it is unsatisfactory. The tenth tithi of the first fortnight of luni-solar Chaitra in that year corresponded to the twenty-eighth day of solar Mina, which was Tuesday, March 22, A.D. 1233. The tenth tithi ended at 21 h. 2 m. after mean sunrise on that day, or at about 3-2 A. l. on the (European) Wednesday, i.e. some hours before the beginning of the Hindu Wednesday. Pushya ended 39 m, after mean sonrise on the Tuesday by the equal space and Garga systems, wbile by the Bramha-siddhanta the naskhatra was Aslesha throughout the tenth tithi. The date is fairly regular for A.D. 1292-93. In that year the tenth tithi of the first fortnight of Chaitra began 6 h. 52 m. after mean suprise on Wednesday, March 18th, A.D. 1293, which was the twenty-fourth day of solar Mina. The nakshatra by Garga and the equal space system was Pushya till 18 h. 34 m. after mean sunrise, and by the Brahma-siddhanta till 16 h. 16 m. after mean sunrise, on that Wednesday. If this was in the seventeenth year of Jatavarman SundaraPandya II., it fixes his accession on or later than March 19th A.D. 1276. It will be seen that, if this is the right date, the 10th tithi was connected with the Wednesday though at sunrise on that day it was not current; and this is unusual. Considering that this inscription is only four days later than No. 77 next following, which is regular in all respects, and that it belongs to the same place and temple, it is safe to assume that the tenth tithi was wrongly quoted for the ninth.

As in the last case, this year must be either 1232-33 or 1292-93 A.D. For the first it is irregular, for though the nakshatra is correct, the 5th tithi in question fell that year on a Thursday, For the second, the date is perfectly regular. In A, D. 1292-93 the 5th titki of the first fortnight of luni-solar Chaitra fell on Saturday, the 20th day of solar Mina, which corresponded with March 14th, A.D. 1293.

The corresponding date is therefore Saturday, March 14, 1293 A.D., and the inscription belongs to the reign of Jatavarman Sandara-Pandya II. It was four days earlier than the last inscription.

This date is irregalar, for the reign of either of the two known Jatavarman SandaraPandyas. I have tried the years 1256, 1257, 1258, 1281, 1282, 1283, which might possibly coincide with, or approximate to, the 7th regnal year of either of those kings, without success. Some element of the inscription appears to be wrong, either in the original or in the copy 3 The exact date of Jatavarman Sandara-Pandya II.'s accession is still doubtful, and must for the present remain so. The following avalysis, however, may be found usefal. To the list published by Kielhorn in Vol. IX. p. 228 of dates previously examined I now add four more, vis. Nos. 74, 75, 76, 77, above. The tested dates of J. Sundara II, are now fourteen in number. of these K. 264 must be discarded. The wording of the date is "intrinsically wrong." K. 53 is doubtful because the regnal year is not clear in the injured original. It appears to be either " 11th" or " 19th." Working for a possible 19th year, Professor Kielhorn found the date regular for November 10th, A.D. 1294, but is not fully convinced that this conclusion is correct. I find myself equally unconviuced, because that date seems too late for this king No.594 of the Madroa Epigraphical collection for 1907. * No. 434 of the same collection. . Mr. Venksyys has examined the original with reference to my remarks and states that there is no doubt about the date.

Indeed in 500 years I find no date for wbich the Riven details are satisfactory. * "K" stands for the dates published by the late Professor Kielhorn, Page #190 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ DATES OF PANDYA KINGS. No. 25.] Wassif and Rashid-ud-din assert that "Sundar Pandi " died in Hijra 692, the last day of which year was December 1st, A.D. 1293 (Yule's Marco Polo, II. 269). I see no real reason why we should not accept the date as being one of the 11th year, vis. October 29th, A.D. 1287, and if so, it supports the evidence offered by the second of the two groups given below; but it is perhaps safer to reject the date as a basis for argument. K. 55 is also doubtful since it would seem that, if correct in other respects, a wrong solar month was quoted, and K. 56 must be set aside because it is evident that the regnal year has been wrongly quoted; the date given in A.D. 1286 as the ninth year is at variance with all the other dates yet examined, and would postpone the king's accession to a date subsequent to March 29th, A.D. 1277. I also discard my No. 75 (above) for the reason given in my note on that inscription. This leaves nine dates by which we may be guided, if No. 76 is accepted as I think it certainly may be. 145 Of these nine, K. 25, K. 27, K. 52, K. 54, put together, give us August 28th, A.D. 1275 to May 15th, A.D. 1276 as the limit; and K. 23, K. 24, and my 74, 76, 77 give us October 1st, A.D. 1276 to March 14th, A.D. 1277, as the limit of the accession of this king. With regard to overlapping of reigns, e.g. August A.D. 1289 being in the 13th or 14th year of this king (K. 23, 24) when June 27, A.D, 1289, is placed also in the 22nd year of Maravarman Kulasekhara I. (K. 48)-it is well to note that Marco Polo (Yule, II. 267) says "In this province (Maabar) there are five kings who are own brothers. . . . at this end of the province reigns one of those five Royal Brothers, who is a crowned King, and his name is SONDER BANDI DAVAR." Wassaf, speaking of the same king under the name "DEWAR SUNDAR PANDI" says he had "three brothers, each of whom established himself in independence in some different country" (ibid. 269). This account is strongly supported by the Chinese annals (ibid. 273), where the country is called "Maparh," or Malabar, and is reported to have sent tribute (presents) to Kublai Khan in A.D. 1286. " Pauthier has given some very curious and novel extracts from Chinese sources regarding the diplomatic intercourse with Ma'bar in 1280 and the following years, Among other points these mention 'the five brothers who were Sultans."" See also my remarks in the last paragraph of No. 69 above. Colonel Yule's note from which I have quoted gives us some further important information regarding the kingdom (or kingdoms) of Madura at this period. Wassaf introduces (1310) a king whom he calls "Kales Dewar" who had ruled for 40 years, and whom we may identify with Maravarman Kulasekhara I. in whose 40th year, vis, March 18th 1308 A.D.. was engraved the inscription at Tiruvarur (above VIII. p. 276), and in his 41st year, vis. June 9th, A.D. 1309, the inscription at Sinnamanur (No. 73 of the present publication).1 "He had two sons, Sundar Bandi by a lawful wife, and Pirabandi (Vira Pandi ?) illegitimate. He designated the latter as his successor. Sundar Bandi, enraged at this, slew his father" and seized the throne. Vira-Pandya drove him out, and Sundara-Pandya sought aid from the Muhammadans, which led to Malik Kafar's raid. The story is confirmed by Amir Khusra. It must be remembered that this Sundara-Pandya, who murdered his father Kulasekhara I., was not our Jatavarman Sundara-Pandya II. who seems to have died in A.D. 1293, but a subsequent prince of the same name and family. We have as yet no published inscrip. tions bearing date between 1309 and 1317 A.D. in the Pandya territories. If any of the parricide Sundara-Pandyas come to light we shall have to call that king (or prince) SundaraPandya III. This was the Kulasekhara to whom the Tamils entrusted the tooth relic carried away by them from Ceylon (Mahavansa, ch. XC, verse 43). It was returned a few years later. The Mahavansa also mentiors "the five brethren who governed the Pandyan kingdom" in the reign of Bhuvaneka Bahu of Ceylon whose date Bell gives as 1277-1288 A.D.

The reign of Maravarman Kulasekhara II, began according to Kielhorn (above, Vol. VIII, p. 228) between March 6th and March 29th, A.D. 1314. Work for Tula in his 8th year proves that the 2nd solar day of that month was Wednestlay, September 30, 1321 A.D. On that day, the 9th tithi of the bright fortnight of the luni-solar month Asvina was current for 17 h. 13 m. after mean sunrise, while the nakshatra Sravana was current by the equal-space and Garga systems for 23 h. 48 m. after mean sufrise, and by the Brahma-Siddhanta for the whole day except for 1 h. 15 m. after mean sunrise during which period Abhijit was current. This is probably the correct date. The date is irregular for the 8th year of Masevarman Kulasok bara I. in respect of the week-day. The month of Tula in this king's 8th year fell in A.D. 1275. On Monday, September 30, A.D. 1275, which was the 2nd day of solar Tula, the 9th tithi of the bright fortnight of luni-solar Asvina expired 2 h. 37 m. after mean sunrise; the nakshatra being Sravana by the equal space system and by Garga for 10'h. 13 m., and by the Brahma-Siddhanta for 11 h. 40 m. after mean sunrise. If, therefore, the week-day qnoted had been Monday instead of Wednesday, the date would have been perfectly regular. It is worthy of note that the epithet " who was pleased to take every country" is applied only to Jatavarman Sundara-Panaya I. and Maravarmin Kulnokhars I.

This date is incorrect when worked for 1275 or 1276 A.D., the 8th year of Maravarman Kulasekhara I.; and it is also incorrect for A.D. 1321, the 8th year of Maravarman Kalasakhara II.

As to the last (1321) Professor Kielhor's No. 28 (above, Vol. VI. pp. 312-13) may be compared with it. I have proved its correctness. That date, which was in the 8th year of Msavarman Kulasekhara II., corresponded with 14th November A.D. 1321 which was 23 days earlier than December 7th. The nakshatra was Uttara-Phalguni, and it is plain that on a day 23 days later the nakshatra could not possibly be Svati. The date would be correct in all respects for the 18th solar day of Dhanus, Tuesday, December 15, A.D. 1321, when, at mean sunrise, the nakshatra was Svati and when the 10th tiths of the dark fortnight wus current. No. 26.-DANAVULAPADU PILLAR INSCRIPTION OF SRIVIJAYA. BY H. KRISHNA SASTRI, B.A. The subjoined record is engraved on the three faces of one of the Jaina pillars, discovered by the Superintendent, Archaeological Survey, Madras, at Danavulapadu (in the Jammalmadugu taluka of the Cuddapah District) in 1903, when he made extensive excavations there, on the sandy bank of the river Pennar. The results of Mr. Rea's excavations are published in the Director General's Annual Report for 1905-6, pp. 120 to 127, which include a complete description with a half-tone picture (fig. 7) of the sculptures in three panels on one of the broad faces of the pillar (p. 124) and an English translation of the inscription on two of its narrow faces (p. 124 f.) By way of supplementing wbat has been already stated by Mr. Rea, I append, with the kind permission of the editor, a full text of the record, which is not given in the Annual and the translation of a portion cf the inscription, which is also omitted there, by some mistake, Since writing the above Mr. Vonkayya has informed me that the quoted day of the solar montb Dhanus may be, not "11" but" 19." On this basis I bave again examined the date. It is not correct for the reign of M. Kulasek bara I For A.D. 1321 the eigbth year of M. Kulasekhara II., the details would be correct for the 18th, but not for the 19th Dhanus. At moan sunrise on Tuesday, December 16, A.D. 1321, which was the 18th day of Dhanus, the tenth tithi of the second fortnight expired 3 h. 16 m. aftor,mean vunrise; the nakshatra being at mean suprise, Svati by the equal space system. It ended 6 h. 18 m. lster by that system. But by Garga it bad ended 5 n. 54 m., and by the Brahma-Siddhauta 10 h. 2 m. before mes suprise, Visakhi being current at that moment. On the 19th Dhanus Visakba was current by all systems. I think the date is probably genuine, but that the 19th of the solar month was quotes in error for the 18th.

On p. 125, however, Mr. Res adds in continuation the translation of a later inscription of the 14th century A.D. in the passage commencing: "The second reads . . . . . prosperity, and connects it with the subjoined pillar rocard which is at least 4 centuries earlier. It niny be noted that the later record translated by Mr. Res, was also din. covered in the same locality (No. 336 of the Madras Epigraphical collection for 1905). 02 Page #193 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 148 EPIGRAPHIA INDICA. [Vol. X. The ink-impressions from which the accompanying plate has been prepared, were taken under my direct supervision from the original pillar wbich is now preserved in the Madras Museum, along with the other antiquities of Dinavulapadu. The record is not dated. But the Kanarese characters in which it is written may be referred to the period between the 10th and 11th centuries A.D. The alphabet bears a strong resemblance in certain details (e.g. in the distinction made between long and short i and in the adding of the repha to a consonant ending in :) to that of the two Nolamba records from Dharmapuri published by me, but is exactly similar in many respects to those of the Atakur inscription of the time of Krishna III. and of the epitaph of Marasimba II.S of the 10th century A.D. The symbol for long i affixed to the consonant an is different in form from that used in other cases; compare e.g. mu of ripusamuha in l. 21 and of murti in l. 32, with nu of manuna- in 1.51 and bhu of bhu-mandaladol in l. 64. The final forms of m (1l. 22 and 48) (1. 39) and ? (11.50 and 52), the carsive form of the consonant kh (1.52) and the use of the Dravidian ! (11. 8, 24, 50, 52) and . (11. 12, 48, 49 twice, 56, 62) may also be specially noted. The record consists of 11 verses of which vv. 3, 5 and 6 are in the Sanskrit language (the first being in the San kirnaka(P) and the second two, in the Arya-giti metre) and the rest in Kanarese (in the Kanda metre). Lines 65 to 67 are in Kanarese prose, while the invocatory and benedictory phrases (11. 44 and 43) are in Sansksit. The order in which the three written faces of the epigraph have to be read presents some difficulty. The broader face which begins with a benedictory clause and ends with the writer's name, must be taken to be a complete record by itself. The two narrow faces which contain the eulogy of Srivijaya do not begin with any suspicious word, phrase or verse, but end with the usual mangala-maha-frih. Apparently, the inscription was meant to be divided into two parts, the first of which, comprising the two narrow faces of the pillar, began with a description of the military prowess of the dandandyaka Srivijaya, to whom in the body of the record are applied the surnames Apivingoja (v.7), Anupamakavi (vv. 2, 4, 9 and 1. 65 f.) and perhaps also Sarvavikramatunga (v. 10). Of the three Sanskrit verses included in this portion of the record, two (vv. 5 and 6) are addressed to Srivijaya and express the wish that he might live long to rule the circle of the earth under orders of king Indra. The third verse while describing his prowess in highly poetical language, incidentally mentions Bali-kula, the family to which Srivijaya belonged and the king Narendra of whom he was the general (dandadhipati). The second part of the inscription, evidently the more important of the two, is written on one of the broad faces of the pillar and opens with an invocatory clause which proclaims glory to the prosperous doctrine of the Jina. The first three verses (7 to 9) on this face appear to suggest that Srivijaya voluntarily resigned this world and took samnyasa in order to attain eternal bliss. The next two verses are again in praise of Srivijaya's military prowess, Above, pp. 54 to 70 and Plate. Ibid. Vol. VI. pp. 50 to 57 and Plate. * Ibid. Vol. V. Pp. 151 to 180 and Plate. * According to Gangadasa's Chhandomanjari (Ch. V. 15) Giti is a verse whose second half corresponds to the brot half of an Arya (i.e. contains 30 matras), the first balf presumably being the same as that of the Aryk. Arya-Giti, again, on the same authority (ibid, 21) has both its halves corresponding to the first half of an Aryi with an additional guru (e. contains 32 matras). The metre, bowever, of the verse under consideration, whose scheme in 32 matras in the first balf and 30 in the second, is neither Giti nor Arya-Giti s described by Gangadisa. It probably corresponds to the Sankirnaka mentioned in Dr. Kittel's edition of Nagavarma's Chandas (Ch. IV. 202). Dr. Kittel iuterprets the scheme of the metre as 32 and 27 (Chhandas, p. 93). Nagavarma's definition may admit of an explanation which yields 39 and 30 for the scheme of the Bankirnaka and thus correspond to that of v. 3 of tha sabioined inscription. Nagavarna's v. 292 may be translated thus: "If the first half (a-apar-ardha P) of an Ary (ie. of 30 matras) unites with the first half of a Kanda in the order mentioned i.e. 32, in the first and 30 in the second), then O! lotus-faced oue! the metro becomes the Sankirpaka as stated by Kavirajahanas (ie. Nagavarma)." Page #194 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ No. 26.] DANAVULAPADU PILLAR INSCRIPTION OF SRIVIJAYA. 149 and 11. 65 to 67 state that the writer of the record was Gunavarma, the clerk (senabova) of Anupamakavi. It thus appears from an examination of the contents that the only name in the record which may be of bistorical interest is that of king Indra (or Narendra) whose subordinate was the dandanayaka Srivijaya. And, to judge from the characters, king Indra will have to be identified with the Rashtrakuta Nityavarsha-Indra III, for whom we have the dates A.D. 915 and 916-7, or with Indra IV., the grandson of Krishna III., who died in A.D. 982.1 Before attempting to decide which of the two kings could be intended here, it may be useful to mention the existence of a record of the Rashtrakuta king Nityavarsha in the Jaina ruins of Danavulapadu, quite close to where the subjoined pillar was dug up. It is engraved round the rim of a stone pedestal and consists of a single Sanskrit verse which has been translated on p. 121 f. of the Director General's Annual for 1905-6. Here, again, it is doubtful if Nityavarsha is identical with Indra III. or Khottiga, both of whom bore that suruame. As, however, the pedestal record and the subjoined pillar inscription are found in the same ruins and the characters, except for the flourishes used in the former, are almost of the same type, there is a strong presumption in favour of identifying Nityavarsha of the pedestal record with king Indra of the Srivijaya inscription and of assigning both the epigraphs to the time of Nityavarsha Indra III., .e. to the beginning of the 10th century A.D. In support of this identification it may be stated that in verse 3 of the subjoined record, Srivijaya is stated to have been the commander of the forces of Narendra. The context requires us here, to interpret narendra not as a general synonym for king,' but as a proper name. Dr. Fleet in dealing with the appellations of the Rasbtrakuta kings, has drawn attention to the honorific Narendradeva with which the surname Nityavarsha of Iudra III. occurs combined, in the Nausari grants. Although the word narendra (or narendradeva) may admit of the translation 'His Majesty' as Dr. Fleet has taken it, still in the light of what has been stated above, it appears to me that Narendra must be taken, at least in the subjoined record, as a hitherto unknown surname of Indra III. Dandanayaka Srivijaya is not mentioned in any published inscriptions. His identification, if satisfactorily made out, would be of much interest to students of Kanarese literature; for, his surnames Arivingoja and Anupamakavi have, apparently, a special. reference to his literary acquirements; while Sarvavikramatunga indicates his military prowess. Two persons of literary fame both bearing.the name Srivijaya are known to Kanarese literature. The colophon at the end of each of the three chapters of the Kavirajamarga describes that work as having been the production of Srivijaya on the lines laid down by king Nripatunga. This king who is also called Atisayadhavala and Amoghavarsha in the body of the work, has been identified with the Rashtrakuta Amoghavarsha I. (A.D. 814-5 to 877-8). If the Kavirajamarga was actually written by Srivijaya, who is stated to have been the court poet of Nripatunga and to have borne the surname Kavisvara, his time would fall into the beginning of the ninth century A.D. Another Srivijaya is referred to in the body of the same work (Kavirajamarga) as an earlier author whose writings were looked upon as the standard type of 1 Dr. Fleet's Dyn. Kan, Distr. p. 386, Table. 2 No. 331 of the Madras Epigraphical collection for 1905. Ep. Ind. Vol. VI. p. 176. The word literally means 'the teacher of knowledge.' A similar title in Kannada literature is Negaltegoja assumed by Nagavarma the author of the Chhandas; see the Karnataka-Kavioharite by Messrs. R. Narasimha. char, M.A., M.R.A.S., and S. G. Narasimhachar, Vol. I. pp. 46 and 50. 5 I.e. the matchless poet;' compare the titles Kavitagunarnava of Pampa, Kavirajabamsa of Nagavarma and Kaviratna and Kavichakravarti of Ranna. We learn from literature that the Kannada poets Pampa, Chavundaraya and Nagavarma were also once in military service and had established their names on the battle-field. Page #195 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 150 EPIGRAPHIA INDICA. [Vol. X. Kiarose poetry at the time of Nripatunga. These two Srivijayas who belong, one to the 9th century A.D. and the other to some still earlier period, unnot in any way be connected with the dandanayaka Srivijaya of the Danavulapanu record whoso time, as stated already, could have been only about the beginning of the tenth century A.D. Further, we know of a fourth Srivijaya mentioned in the Sravana-Belgola epitaph of Mallishana. He was one of the Jaina teachers of great learning who succeeded Hemasena and a contemporary of an unspecified Ganga king. An inscription dated Saka 999 (=A.D. 1077-78) at Hamcha in the Shimoga District, apparently refers to Satyavakya Rakkasa-Ganga, a brother's son of Nolambakulantaka Marasimha II. and to his contemporary, the Jaina teacher Srivijaya. It is not unlikely that this Rakkasa-Ganga is the unspecified Ganga king mentioned above and is identical with the Rakkase referred to in Nos. 133 and 134 of Professor Kielhorn's List of Southern Inscriptions. Consequently, the time of the Jaina teacher Srivijaya whose disciple Rakkasa-Ganga was, may be placed roughly between Saka 899 (= A.D. 977), the date of the Pegga-ur inscription of Richamalla II. and Saka 999 (= A.D. 1077-78), the date of the Humcha record. But there is nothing to show that the Jaina teacher Srivijaya of the Mallishena epitaph was first a layman in the military service of the Rashtrakata king Indra III., and that he subsequently joined the order of ascetics. Consequently, the Srivijaya of the Danavalapadu record, is perhaps also different from the Jaina teacher Srivijaya, though possibly be was contemporaneous with him, and flourished in the tenth century A.D. It may be remarked, finally, that, like the famous Ganga general Chamundaraja or Chavu daraya who served the Western Ganga sovereigns Marasimha II. and Rachamalla II. and largely patronised Jaina literature and religion, the dandandyaka Srivijaya was unsurpassed in the military art as in the literary, patronised Jainism and resigned the world in the end, as a pious Jaina, in order to seek salvation. The picture of a rider on horseback followed by an umbrella bearer which is depicted in the lowest panel on one of the four faces of the pillar is perhaps meant to represent the general Srivijaya marching against his enemy on the battle feld. It must also be noted that the demi-god Brahma-yaksha in Jaina iconography is figured as riding on a horse. Balikula, the family to which Srivijaya belonged, and Gunavarmas the clerk (sinabova) who wrote (.e. composed ?) the text of the record, I am unable to identify.'

May there be prosperity to the holy doctrine of Jina! (Verse 7.) "I shall (first) acquire as a marriage gift the eightfold karma completely and (then) scatter it. With this idea (as it were) was born Arivingoja of great virtue who was rightly venerated by the foremost of the learned. 1 Correctly speaking, the fourth face; see above, p. 151, note 1. 2 Above the letter no is seen an erasure in which may have been included an anusvara which was subsequently cancelled. On p. 125, the translation of v. 3 has been left incomplete after the words "(and) the." It should be completed as follows: "(and) the combined forces of the enemy, (quite) powerless." In the translation of verse 4 "glove" is a mistake for "globe." Pandit Dorbali Jinadasa Sastri of Sravana-Belgola informs me that the Jains doctrine (dharma or sarana) is, like other images, worshipped in Jaina temples, in a particular form. It is one of the maradevatas and is symbolically represented by a wheel placed vertically on a pedestal, somewhat in the fashion of the Buddhist dharma-chakra. s I am again indebted to Jinadasa Sastri for the information that the ashfavidha-karma mentioned here consists of (1) jaanavaraniya, (2) darsanavaraniya, (3) vedaniya, (4) mohaniya, (5) ayushya, (e) rama, (7) gotra, and (8) antaraya.

Vol. X. A LIST OF BRAHMI INSCRIPTIONS FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES TO ABOUT A.D. 400 WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THOSE OF ASOKA. BY PROFESSOR H. LUDERS: BERLIN. CALCUTTA SUPERINTENDENT GOVERNMENT PRINTING, INDIA 1912 Page #223 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page #224 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ APPENDIX. A LIST OF BRAHMI INSCRIPTIONS FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES TO ABOUT A.D. 400 WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THOSE OF ASOKA. BY PROFESSOR H. LUDERA; ROSTOCK. The following list of early Brahmi inscriptions has been prepared as a supplement to the excellent lists of inscriptions of Northern and Soathern India publis! ed by the late Professor Kielhorn. It is intended to give all Brahmi inscriptions from the earliest times to about the end of the fourth century A.D. found in the periodicals and Government pablications accessible to me, with the exception of the Asoka inscriptions, the bibliography of which would require a different form. I have included also a few inscriptions which, though probably being of a somewhat later date, in form and tenor agree with the earlier insoriptions. But I have as a rule excluded such inscriptions as appear in Professor Kielhorn's lists, even if they show the characteristic features of the earlier inscriptions and in a definite collection therefore would probably have to be classed with them. I bave excluded on purpose also all seal inscriptions. The principles according to which the list has been compiled are the same as those adopted by Professor Kielhorn, with one exception. When an inscription has been edited several times, Professor Kielhorn generally states only where it has been published last. In the case of the earlier inscriptions, the reading and interpretation of which is often much disputed, it appeared to me impracticable to follow that course, and I have on this account endeavoured to give a complete bibliography of every inscription. Of mere references, however, I have quoted only such as bear on the reading or interpretation of the text of the records. It would have been useless to notice all passages where an inscription has been made use of for general historical purposes. In the statements of the contents of the inscriptions I have quoted every proper dame mentioned in tre text, in the case of Prakrit nemes adding, if possible, the Sanskrit equivalent, and I have given also the original term for all words denoting & vooation, profession, eto., as a perfectly accurate translation of these terms is often difficult or even impossible. In accordance with Professor Kielborn's lists I have also tried to indicate where an insoription is at the present time. For a few references I am indebted to the list of Brahmi inscriptions given by Professor 0. Franke in his work Pali und Sanshorit, pp. 10 and ff. The arrangement of the inscriptions is made from a geographical point of view. As the greater part of the inscriptions are private reoords and not dated, any other arrangement is hardly practicable. A look at the bibliography of these inscriptions will show how much labour has already been spent on them, and yet it cannot be denied that much still remains to be done. The band of real scholars that have worked at them has been comparatively small. To a great extent this is undoubtedly due to the difficulty of taking in at a glance the widely scattered materials. If in spite of its imperfections, which are well known to me, the present lists should contribute towards the removing of this obstacle, I shall deem to have accomplished my objeot.
