EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
Talahari and Komo occur in the inscription from Rajim which has been edited in the same volume of the Asiatic Researches; and the name Komo is found, in 'Komo Pass' and 'Komo Choki,' on the maps, about 30 miles to the north of Ratnapur. A place, Kimeḍi or Khimide in Ganjam, is mentioned in the Indian Antiquary, vol. XVI, p. 181; and as we there have the name Parla-Kimeḍi, we may possibly have to read in the present inscription Andhra-Khimidi, not Andhra and Khimidi.
The prince of Kanyakubja alluded to in our inscription probably was Govindachandra (Indian Antiquary, vol. XV, p. 6); the prince of Jejabhaktiks (or Bundelkhand-see Hultzsch in Zeitsch. Deutsch, Morg. Ges., vol. XL, p. 49, note), the Chandella king Kirtivarmadêva (Indian Antiquary, vol. XVI, p. 202; and Archeological Survey of India, vol. XXI, page 85); and the ruler of Chêdi, Yasahkarna or Gayakarna of Tripurt. Somêsvara I had thought of identifying with the prince of that name, the father of the Châhumana prince Prithviraja (Archeological Survey of India, vol. XXI, p. 174); but as that Sômêsvara appears to have died in A.D. 1169 (Journal As. Soc. of Bengal, vol. LV, pt. I, p. 15), he could hardly have been defeated by JAjalladeva before A.D. 1114.
