EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
[VOL. XVII
The date is specified on 11. 11-15 as Saka 926 (expired), Krodhi; Ashādha amāvāsyd; an eclipse of the sun. This is quite regular. The Southern cycle is used, and according to the Sarya-siddhanta (true system) the tithi quoted was connected with Thursday, 20 July, A.D. 1004, ending 3 h. 33 m. after mean sunrise (for Ujjain). On that day there was an eclipse of the sun at 3 h. 18 m. after sunrise by Lanka time. Mr. R. Sewell, who has kindly examined this date at my request, remarks that by the true system of the Arya-riddhanta the result is the same, but that by the mean system of the Arya-siddhānta the tithi was connected with the previous Wednesday, 19 July.
The place-namos mentioned are: the Pagalatti Three-hundred (1. 10); the Tumbige Agrahara (1. 11); and Kalkere (11. 23-4). On Pagalatti I may refer to the remarks of Dr. Fleet above, Vol. XII, p. 306 ff., where he identifies it with the district Variously called Hagaritige, Hagarittage, or Hagaratage and connected with the village formerly designated Hagaritage, Hagalittage, or Hagarittage, and now known as Hagarattagi, Hagariţige, Hagarittige, or Hagariţtigi, in the Shoråpor tāluka of Gulbarga District in the Nizam's Territories. Kalkere cannot be identified with certainty; there are several places of the name.
