INSCRIPTIONS OF SUDI.
Samkha or Samkhararya (? Samka or Samkararya), whose praises are sung in vv. 15-16. The fair copy of the record was made by Rava payya, town-clerk (kulakarani) of Sandi (1. 63). The details of the date (11. 26-27) are: Saka 981, the cyclic year Vikarin; the full-moon of Magha; Monday. On this Mr. Sewell remarks as follows: "Saka 981 expired Vikarin= A.D. 1059-60. This date does not work correctly. The full-moon day, 15 sukla, of Magha was Thursday, 20 January, A.D. 1060, on which day the moment of full-moon occurred at 17 h. 38 m. after mean sunrise. If calculated by mean tithis, the moment of full-moon was 16 h. 30 m. after mean sunrise on that Thursday."
Several places are mentioned, besides the tribal names enumerated in vv. 2 and 5 and the frequent references to Sandi. They are: the Kisukaḍ seventy, 1. 19 (see above, p. 76); the Toragare sixty, 1. 20 (see p. 78); Balguli and Kariṭṭage, 1. 20; the Sindavaḍi nāḍ, 1. 28 (see I. A., Vol. XXX, 1901, pp. 257 ff.); Puliy-appayana-vidu, 1. 28; Sivunur, 1. 29, etc.; Taddevaḍi, 1. 37; and the usual list of tirthas, 11. 59-60. Puliy-appayana-vidu is the "Hoolybeade" (i.e. Hulibiḍu) of the Indian Atlas, 3 miles north of Alar in Alar taluka, Bellary District (I. A., Vol. XXX, 1901, p. 258). As regards Sivunar, the subject of the present grant, Dr. Fleet proposes (ibid.) to identify it with Jigalür, the "Jeegulloor" of the Indian Atlas and "Jiglúr" of the Bombay Survey, 6 miles W.S.W. from Suḍi. The only serious objection to this view is that Sivupur had on its south-west and west a "Great River," per-balla, which seems to point to the Hirahalla, a tributary of the Malprabha, whereas Jigalür lies on the western side of a branch of the Malprabha some little distance to the east of the Hirahalla. Taddevaḍi is Tardavadi, the district in the neighbourhood of Bijapur (see I. A., Vol. XIX, p. 269). As regards Balguli and Kariṭṭage (lit. "Black Ittage," i.e. Ittage of the black soil), I am unable to identify them with any villages in the district around Suḍi.
