And line 114gives the name of the writer of this basana-patta, Kesava. upadhyaya, who (in lines 114-116) asks the indulgence of the reader for any mistakes, and winds up with the remark that no verbal deficiencies of this document will affect its validity.
The date of this inscription does not work out satisfactorily. The Jovian year Sårvarin, mentioned in line 110, correctly corresponds, by the southern luni-solar system, to the expired Saka year 922, given in lines 1-2%3; but there was no solar eclipse on the new-moon tithi of either the pirnimánta or amanta Bhadrapada of that year,-the 2nd and 31st August, A.D. 1000. There was a solar eclipse a month later, on the 30th September, A.D. 1000, but it was not visible in India.
