No. 7.- DATES OF CHOLA KINGS.
BY F. KIELHORN, PH.D., LL.D., C.I.E. ; GÖTTINGER. After the receipt of the large volume of Inscriptions in the Mysore District for which we are indebted to Mr. Lewis Rice, the Director of Archæological Researches in Mysore, I examined some of the earlier dates in that volume, and my notes on them were ready for publication. when Dr. Holtzsch sent me accurate transcripts and translations of five of the Chola dates in the Epigraphia Carnataca, prepared under his orders by his First Assistant, Mr. Venkayya, from inked estampages of the original stones. Dr. Haltzsch at the same time requested me to treat of these dates separately, and to include in my account of them those dates also which have slready been pnblished by him in the Indian Antiquary, Vol. XXIII. p. 297 ff. In now complying with his request, I would wish to state that in what follows I shall strictly confine myself to the consideration of the dates as I find them, and that I leave others to judge how far the results of my calculations would be acceptable on more general grounds.
