32 [yda] .... siyamājana magam Kaloja || E.-DEVAGERI INSCRIPTION OF THE 48TH YEAR OF VIKRAMADITYA VI.
This document, of which a transcript is given in the Elliot Collection, vol. 1 (fol. 367a. of the Royal Asiatic Society's copy), is from a slab found standing in the front of the gateway of the temple of Basavaņņa by the honda or well of Dēvageri. The inscribed area is about 3 ft. 10 in. high and 1 ft. 3} in, wide. The lower part of the inscription is lost.-The character is fair Kanarese of the period, with letters varying between in. and in. in height. The cursive m occurs in mula, 1. 2.-The language is Old Kanarese, except for the opening Sanskrit verse. Initial p has become h in the name Hermmāļi" (11. 19, 23, 43) and in hola-rēreyim (1. 25; cf. above, Vol. XIV, p. 277). The does not appear : we find irddu (1. 21) for ildu, and elsewhere ļ.
The document refers itself to the reign of Tribhuvanamalla dēva, i.e. Vikramaditya VI (II. 3-8), and mentions next the Mahāsdmantadhipati Isvarayya, a general and steward of the household, as administering the “Two Beļvalas," (scil Beļvala and Puligere) (11. 9-13), while the Vahāsā manta Hermādiyarasa of the Jimütavāhang lineage and Khachara family, was governing the manneya of the Bāsayura Hundred-and-forty (11. 14-21). It then records a date (11. 21-23) on which Hermadiyarasa made a grant of some lands to the temples of Tribhuvan:svara (a title of Siva derived from the name of the reigning king) and Bhairava, the trustee being Tribhuvanasingi-Pandita (1l. 23-29). After formulæ of the usual type (1l. 29-39) comes a verse which tells us that Hermadiyarasa was the son of Kaliyammarasa (see inscriptions B.-D.) by his wife Laghahaladēvi (11. 40-44). After this the rest of the record is lost : only small fragments of nine lines survive.
• The date is given on 11. 21-23 as the 46th year of the Chalukya-Vikrama era, Plava; the full-moon of Paushya-suddha, Sunday; the uttarayana-sankranti; the vyatipata. The tithi quoted corresponded to Sunday, 26 December, A.D. 1121; it began on that day at 12.24 A.M., and ended about 13 m. after midnight. The uttarayana-sancranti occurred 15 h. 45 m. after
