A.- Trivandrum inscription of the time of Goda-Martânda. This inscription is on the north wall of the Kțishṇasvamin shrine in the Padmanabhasvamin temple at Trivandrum. It consists of six lines of well-progerved writing in Grantha characters which cover & space of 1'4" broad by 5' high, and contains a single Sanskrit verse, preceded by
Resil samakdlam akarlkrilya. Compare above, Vol. III. p. 45, 1. 40. * Read déyany=éda.
1 The sentence should end with smdbhih; yatak connects the preceding with what follows and means such being the care.'
Metro: sloks (Anushtubb); and of the four next verses. I consider it superduous to encuinber the notes with corrections of the following venues. Metre: Pushpit&gri.
Read Likhitan-cha.
T Read Ulklrngacha. * Read -kdsårena for - kdmayakdréna.

Ant. Vol. XXIV. p. 279); according to his account the shrine, at which the inscription is, is called the GOATA Krishna temple.
