I continue with the Chalukyas of V âtâpinagari, or Eâdâ mi, and afterwards of Kalyana, of whom I have already given a notice at Vol. V., pp. 67 et seqq.
The present inscription is a copper-plate grant from Sir W. Elliot's facsimile collection, obtained by him from General Fraser, and a transcription of it is given at p. 19 of Vol. I. of his MS. collection now with me. The original belonged to the Jain Guru, Mahêndra sân tayya, of the Bêgam Bâzâr at Haidarâbâd in the Dekkan; it consists of three plates, about 74" long by 3" broad.

This inscription introduces the first uncertainty in the history of the Chalukyas. For, whereas we find in No. XIII. that Pulikêsi II. was reigning in Sak a 507, we now have the Sa ka year 535 spoken of as the third year of his reign. I can only suggest the fol lowing explanation of this discrepancy.
