FOUR INSCRIPTIONS AT SOLAPURAM.

in memory of a woman named Kallinangai. The present name Kallanguttai, i.e. the robber's pond,' is evidently a popular corruption of the original one. Kallinangai had died at Arungagram, a village in the modern Argot taluka. She was the daughter of the Ganga chief Attimallar (i.e. Hastimalla) alias Kannaradêva-Přithvigangaraiyar. This chief was the son of Vayiri-Adiyan, the lord of Pangala-nadu. Hence he seems to be different from the Ganga-Båna chief Hastimalla alias Prithivipati II., who was the son of Marasimha. The word Kannaradeya, which is prefixed to the name of Přith vigangaraiyar, characterises the latter as a subordinate of the conqueror Kộishņa III. His wife Kamakkaņår bore the title Gangamahadevi and was the daughter of Vaņakovaraiyar Orriyûr-Adiyan. Våņakovaraiyar is known to have been the title of certain chiefs. Orriyûr-Adiyan means the devotee of the temple at Tiruvorriyûr.'

TRANSLATION Hail! Prosperity!

D.-INSCRIPTION OF SAKA-SAMVAT 875. This Tamil inscription (No. 346 of 1901) is engraved on the base of the rained Isvara temple at Solapuram. It is dated in Saka-Samvat 875 (in words), while Hastimalla alias Kapgaradóva-Prithivigangaraiyar?- the same chief who was mentioned in .-Wag ruling the Kalleduppur-maryad. This may have been a subdivision of Pangala-nadu, the lord of which his father is stated to have been (C. line 3); bat I cannot find Kalleduppúr on the map.8
The insoription records grants to the two temples of Nandikampiśvara and Guņamâlai at Kattuttumbur (s.e. Solapuram) by Hastimalla's minister Puttadiga! alias AliviņaKalakanda-Prithvigangaraiyan. The last portion of this name is evidently derived from that of his master; kalakanda is the Tamil form of kalakantha, 'a kokila;' alivina means 'devoid

+ In line 9 he is called simply Prithvigangaraiyar.
A village of the same name is referred to in South-Ind. Insor. Vol. I. No. 83, line 5. No. 85 mentious a village of slightly different name, vis. Kalladuppar, which must be different from Kalleduppar, because it belonged to Virpidu-padu (100 above, Vol. VI. p. 228 and noto 5), subdivision of Kaliyar-k&tam.
