No. 26.- DATES OF CHOLA KINGS. BY PROFESSOR F. KILDOEN, C.I.E.; GÖTTINGEN.
(Continued from page 8.) From the Government Epigraphist's collection of inscriptions Mr. Venkayya again has sent me for examination large number of dates, of which I here publish 36 dates of Chôļa kings. The most important of them is No. 101, which has only quite lately been discovered by Mr. Venkayya. It is of the reign of Parântaka I. and, together with my date No. 55, proves that this king commenced to reign between (approximately) the 15th January and the 25th July A.D. 907. Of the other dates, one (No. 102) is of the reign of Rajendra-Chola I., and one (No. 106) of the reign of Rajaraja II.; 3 datos (Nos. 103-105) belong to Vikrama-Chola, 8 (Nos. 107-114) to Kulottuiga-Chola III. (Virarajendra-Choladeva, Tribhuvanaviradeva), 16 (Nos. 115-130) to Rajaraja III., and 6 (Nos. 131-136) to Rajendra-Chola III. These dates in every way confirm the correctness of the general results previously obtained; at the same time, they enable us to give within narrower limits the times during which some of the kings to whom they belong must have commenced to reign. Thus it may be aflirmed now that RajendraChola I. commenced to reign between (approximately) the 27th March and the 7th July A.D. 1012; Rajaraja II. between (approximately) the 27th March and the 11th July A.D. 1146%3; Kulottunga-Chola III. between (approximately) the 6ths and 8th July A.D. 1178, and Rajaraja III. between (approximately) the 27th Jane and the 10th July A.D. 1216.
