THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
The grant records that, in the Sanmya samvatsara, when Saka 1171 (A.D. 1249-50) had expired, on Saturday the day of the fullmoon of Ashâḍha, the minister Mallisaiṭṭi, with the king's permission, bestowed upon thirty-two Brahmans, attached to the shrine of the god M â d h a v a, certain lands at Santheya Baga vâ di, in the Huv valli Twelve in the Kuhun di district; and that the grant was subsequently confirmed by M allisaitti's son, the minister Chaundi saiṭṭi.
[DECEMBER, 1878.
The Huvvalli spoken of here must be Mughaṭkhan-Hubballi in the Belgaum District, about five miles to the south-east of Bâgiwâdi. Santheya is evidently intended for the Canarese santeya, 'of the market', a common prefix to the names of villages in the Canarese country. The Santheya-Bagavâ di of the grant is probably the modern Bagiwadi, or Hire-Bagiwadi,-a market-town, and of much more importance than ChikkaBâgiwadi, which is close to it. Saitti, at the end of the two ministers' names, probably represents the Canarese setti, a merchant', and indicates the class to which they belonged by birth.
