EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
[VOL. XIII.
Page 303, verse 15,-The missing letters at the end of 1. 21 and the beginning of 1. 22 may be mella (i.e. chakram-ellam-aleyal). Elvar-alakke must in my opinion be a reference to El(v)-ara (are)-lakke, the seven and a half lakh country of the Chalukyas, of whom Jayakēsin was a feudatory. Jimkarise may well stand for jemkarise, which means 'buzzed.' Odisit-ettisidam must be ödisi tettisidam, and rirodhi-bem-kolvan must be written as one word. The incident here related may refer to the reverse sustained by the Silaras, who were relatives of the Chalukyan emperor, at the hands of Jayakěsin I (see Kan. Dyn. Distr., p. 567). Or Alvara may stand for Alpara, in which case the Alupa king will be the ripuraja, enemy king,' mentioned in 1. 22.-H. K. S.

355. 1. 21,-It is difficult to accept the interpretation of Dr. Barnett; for Kundalisrara in this verse of common occurrence has been generally interpreted to mean 'chief of serpents. Consequently kundalisvara-mahibhujah would be one whose arms are as long and powerful as the chief of serpents (i.e. Adisesha).
-H. K. S.
