Orientalists of 1874. Thus, No. 27, at p. 338, runs Sidham rannò Vâsathi-putasa sara-Padumayasa savachharé chha (P) the 6 Gima-pakhe pacham[ê] 5 divasê',-and is translated "To the Perfect One. In the sixth year of the King, the prosperous Padumaya, the son of Vasishthi, in the .. fortnight of Grishma, on the fifth (?) day." But the analogy of the expressions containing the dates of the other inscriptions of the same series shows that the word and numeral 'pachamê 5' belong to Gima pakhe' and not to 'divase', and that the word and numeral denoting the day stood after 'divase' and have been effaced. Accordingly, the date of it is "In the sixth in the fifth fortnight of the summer season, on the ......day." No. 25, again, at page 319,-in line 6 of which the Professor reads Vasa-pakhê 4(?) divasê ', is possibly dated in the fifth, sixth, seventh, or eighth fortnight of the Rains. Transcription. First plate.

53" long by 2" broad; the characters on the scal of the ring that fastens the plates together are too much worn to be legible. It records a grant made by Bhânuvarmâ, and another by a follower or subordinate of his, in the eleventh year of the reign of his elder brother Ravivarmâ. It is dated in the sixth fortnight of the winter season. These inscriptions, therefore, as I have already intimated, belong to a time at which the primitive division of the year,—into three seasons only, Summer, the Rains, and Winter, each of eight pakshas or fortnights, instead of into six seasons, each of four fortnights, as is now the practice,-was still followed; and this should enable us hereafter to determine the era of these grants with accuracy.
I observe that the same division of the year into three seasons only is followed in the Nâsi k Cave-inscriptions, a paper on which, by Professor Bhandarkar, is published in the Transactions of the International Congress of
