THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
[DECEMBER, 1897.
quoted instead of 1569 (expired); and in No. 8 the published text of the inscription gives, in words, the year 1062, while both the concurrent Jovian year and my calculation prove the year of the date to be 1082 (current). One date (No. 3) gives the Jovian year only, without the corresponding Saka year; and the other dates, in addition to the Saka years, quote the corresponding Jovian years, in every case in accordance with the southern luni-solar system. - Special terms, to which I may draw attention here, are Yaksha-tadige (?) in No. 2, and Vaishnava-tithi in No. 17.
The date No. 1 of 'S. 899 is from an inscription of the Western Ganga Satyavákya Konguộivarman Permanadi; three dates (Nos. 8, 9 and 2) are from inscriptions of the Hoysalas Narasimha I. and Vira-Ballâla; eleven from the inscriptions of the Vijayanagara kings Harihara II. (No. 10), Virupaksha I. (Nos. 14 and 11), Narasa (No. 3), Krishụuraya (Nos. 16, 4 and 12), Achyutariya (Nos. 5 and 13), Sadasivaraya (No. 6), and Ramadeva (No. 7); three (Nos. 17-19) from those of the rulers of Maisûr; and one, No. 15, is from a private inscription.

? The date of the last Ganga inscription' in Mr. Rice's volume (p. 101, No. 78, of 8. 944) is quite incorrect and is, in fact, an impossible date.
With Yakshi.tadige, which I cannot explain, compare the Sanskrit Yaksha-ratri, another name of the festival venerally called Depavali (Diva); see above, p. 184, Asvina-krishyapaksha XV. See below, No. 16.
