POSTSCRIPT. I avail myself of this opportunity for correcting & mistake in my edition of the Kamrangtha inscription of Ganapati. In line 1l of this inscription (Ind. Ant. Vol. XXI. p. 201), write tarw artufarc: as one word, and add a footnote: "Road TTT." In the translation of verse 15 (ibid. p. 202), read : "who was the best of the smooth gems of the Tamraparna (which was his mother) Vichamba." That Vachâm bê was the mother of Ganapati's minister Såmante-Bhoja, and that Dôchi, who is referred to in verges 15 to 17 of the Ekámranâtha inscription, was his father, follows from the subjoined short Grantha inscription on & stone in front of the Maộikanthêśvara shrine at Kalahasti in the North Arcot district.
