1 A nakshatra (Uttara-bhadrapada) is mentioned together with a tithi (the 10th of the dark half of Kårttika) also in the date of the Devagere plates of the third year of the Kadamba Mrigésavarman, Ind. Ant. Vol. VII. D. 85: but that date is incorrect. The nakshatra either was Uttara-phalgunf (for the 10th of the dark half of Karttika) or the tithi was the 10th of the bright half of Karttiks. Coriously, exactly the same mistake was made in the date of the Hasan plates of Dêvarêya I. of Vijayanagara, of Saka-Samvat 1828; Mysore Insor. No. 150, P.8.0.-C.I. No. 25.

.. Represented by a symbol, which stands on the proper right margin, before the space between lines 2 and 3. The same symbol, similarly placed, we have in the Uravapalli plates of the Pallava Futamahardja Vishnugopavarman, Ind. Ant. Vol. V. p. 51. And the same symbol, placed before the first line of the text. Occure in the plates of the Pallava Mahdrája Simbavarman, ibid. p. 155; in the Chikkulls plates of Vikramêndravarman II.. above, Vol. IV. p. 195; and elsewhere. • Metre : $18ka (Anushțubl).
The letter in imperfect on the proper right side. . Here, and in other places below, the rules of sand i have not been observed. 1 Read gandharoda..
. Since some correction is necessary in lines 9 and 10, it is simplest to alter oditasya to "ditan. Similar mistakes occur in the Vakkaléri plates of Kirtivarman II., above, Vol. V. p. 202. Bend -pdtan.
