[Vol. XI
worshipper of the lord of Sriparvata' (below, text 1. 1), i.e. of the Saiva temple at Srisailam in the Karpal district, and. Madhavavarman is said to have performed eleven horse-sacrifices (afvamedha, 1. 3) and thousands of others (1. 4). His son Vikramendra (I.) is styled 'an ornament of both families' (1. 4). The Chikkalla plates show that this statement alludes to a matrimonial alliance of the Vishnukundins with the Väkäta family, to which Vikramendra's mother must have belonged. Indravarman claims to have encountered in hundredthousands of battles numerous four-tasked (elephants)' (1. 5). As Chaturdanta,' four-tasked,' is an epithet of Airavata, the elephant of the east, Professor Kielhorn has suggested that this ourious boast may refer to victories gained in the eastern direction."
The date of the grant was the seventh (tithi) of the bright fortnight of Jyaishtha in the twenty-seventh year of Indravarman's reign (1. 15 f.).
