occasion of Vyatip&ta on Monday, the full-moon tithi of Vaisakha in the Saka year 1052," etc.
The same slab bears an inscription of Trailokyamalla, the son of Nambhiraja (No. 267 of 1893):- Svasti samadi(dhi)gata-pamchchamah&sha(la) bda-mahamandalesvara Kollipakapuravar-dhisvara Durjjayakula-kumud[a]-chandra ripugaja-mri(mri)gêmdra malilikavallabha pa[r]ånggang-rdullabhal (vilá]sa-V[i]dyadhara bhôga-Param[da]ra Kr[i](kri)shnavornnanadi-tiradakshiņa-shatsahasra-vishay-adhisvara vira-Mahesvara ki[rtti)suda (dha) kara gunaratna-ratnakara V[em]gg[i]-Chalukya-[ra] . . . .

"On Saturday, the eighth tithi of the dark fortnight of Vaisakha in the Saka year 1081," etc.
It will be noticed that in this inscription Trailokyamalla is called the scent-elephant of Nambha,' i.e. of his father Nambaya or Nambiråja. Consequently it may be assumed that the latter, who bore the surname the scent-elephant of Malla,' was the son of Malla. In this way we obtain three generations of the chiefs of Ongêrumärga :- Malla; his son Nambha, Nambaya or Nambirája; and his son Trailokyamalla.
Professor Kielhorn kindly contributes the following remarks. "The date of No. 266 of 1893 would correspond, for Saka-Samvat 1052 current, to Sunday, 5th May A.D. 1129, and for Saka Samvat 1052 expired, to Friday, 25th April A.D. 1130. In Saka-Samvat 1053 expired, the full-moon tithi of Vaisakha commenced 7 h.5 m. after mean sunrise of Monday, the 13th April A.D. 1131, when the yôga was Vyatipäta for about the last quarter of the day. I believe this to be the day intended, but can give no reason why the writer should not have quoted Tuesday (the 14th April) on which the full-moon tithi ended. The date of No. 267 of 1893 would correspond, for Saka-Samvat 1081 current, to Wednesday, 23rd April A.D. 1158; for Saka-Samvat 1081 expired, to Tuesday, 12th May, A.D. 1159; and for Saka-samvat 1082 expired, to Saturday, the 30th April A.D. 1160, when the 8th tithi of the dark half ended 18 hours after mean sunrise. In both dates the given Saka year is short by 1 of the year of our Tables. This is not ancommon in dates from the eastern part of Eastern India."
