TRANSLATION. Om. Hail! On Thursday, the 15th (tithe) of the bright (fortnight) of Vaisakha in the Saka year 1123, the Durmukhi-samvatsara, - Hail! the glorious Mahamandalåsvara Rudradevaraja of Nätavadi, who was possessed of all the glory of such names as the Mahaman dalesvara who has obtained the five great sounds; the lord of Madapalla, the best of cities; the chief pillar, as it were, of the Chiļukya kingdom; the end of (i.e. fulfilling) the desires of holy men; the worshipper of the feet of the holy lord of the three worlds; and the destroyer of hostile armies, gave--for the salvation of his father Buddaraja, the brother-in-law of KikatiyaGanapatidêva-Maharaja who was possessed of all glory,-- 55 goats for lighting a perpetual lamp, as long as the moon and the sun shall last, before the god Mahadeva of the Malleśvara (temple) at Bojavada. Having received these, Konda-Sûre-Boya with his sons and further descendants has to supply daily one mana, (stamped with) a Nandi, of ghee.
No 16.-SOME RECORDS OF THE RASHTRAKUTA KINGS OF MALKHED.
BY J. F. FLEET, I.C.S. (Retd.), Pı.D., C.I.E. This is the first of some papers which will deal with some selected records of the Rashtrakūta kings of Malkhed. The records have been chosen, partly because of the general historical interest that attaches to them, and partly in order to illustrate the development of the alphabet of the Kanarese country during the ninth century A.D.) As regards the latter point, I cannot undertake to deal fully with all the palæographic details: to do so, would be beyond my particular sphere of work, and would occupy time which I prefer to devote to other matters of wider interest; and I must leave that line of inquiry to be dealt with, in its minute particulars, by anyone who is more concerned than I am with the special illustration of Indian palmography. I shall notice a few details that may seem of particular interest. But, for the most part, I shall only deal, on somewhat broad lines, with certain characters which furnish leading tests in determining the sequence and approximate dates of undated genuine records which belong to the period in question or may fall within about half a century before it, and in arriving at some conclusion as to the order in which certain spurious records were fabricated and the periods to which they are really to be referred.
A.-Hatti-Mattür inscription of the time of Krishna I. This inscription is now brought to notice for the first time. I edit it, and the collotype is given, from an ink-impression obtained by me in 1882.
