GRANTS OF ANANTAVARMA-CHODAGANGADEVA.
178
This inscription is another record of king Anantavarman, otherwise called Choda gangadeve, of the later Ganga dynasty of Kalinga ; and, as in the case of No. 178. the charter recorded in it, is issued from the city of Kalinganagara. It is non-sectarian; the object of it being to record the grant of the village of Sumuds, with its hamlet, in the Sammag or Sammaga vishaya and in the Kalinga doba, to a person named Chôdaganga, evidently a name-sake of the king.
In lines 20 to 23, we have the same verse that occurs in Nos. 178 and 179 above, giving the date of the accession of Anantavarma-Ohodagangadôve. And line 32 f. gives the actual date of the grant itsell, which, without fall details for calculation, is in the month of Vrischika, i.e, in the solar month Mârgaáirsha, in Saka-Samvat 1057, expressed in numerical words. Here, again, the given year is not distinctly specified, either as current or as expired. As an expired year, it is equivalent to A.D. 1135-36.
