EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
[LOL. AVI.
on the warlike exploits of a certain Kirtti or Kirttiga, & laduralu or “bearer of the betellag" at the court of Kirtti-devarses, who seems to have had a wife named Kalikabbe (I. 46). After these comes R series of titles of the Hadavala in prose, in the midst of which the inscription Breaks off.
The only googriphioul.nsmes mentioned are: the Gautam-sage river, i.e., the Godavari, 1. 14; Benavisi, 1. 29; the BingVise Twelve-thousand, 1. 36; the Sötu, i.e. Adam's Bridge, 1. 12; and Himavat, 11. 13, 31.
I may add here that together with the ink-impression of this record there are impressions of two smail inscriptions, apparently from the same site, and in similar seript, which seem to have been taken from the bases of columns or something of the kind. One of these is ar follows:
| Hadavala Kirtiyannana Muttabbe This shews that the Hadavala's ordinary name was Kirttiyanne, and that he had a wife (or daughter !) namel Martable. The second inscription is only a fmgment, consisting of the kunitha mbol follower by the words Sukne-jagan-naturaene negalva Ku .. , which may perhaps refer to the Kādamba family.
