________________ ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. Page 11, last line from bottom, - for Anapôtâ-Reddi read Anapota-Reddi. , 15.-Cancel footnote 1. , 22, note 7,- for "His enemies clenched their fists in rage" read "The palms of his enemies' hands closed together in token of submission." 31, paragraph 2, line 7 from bottom, - for Pravarasena read Pravarasêng. » 58.-The date of the inscription published by Dr. Fleet on this page is intrinsically wrong, but admits of an easy and certain correction. In the date, as published, the full-moon tithi of Kârttika is joined with the nakshatra Müla (the 19th nakshatra); but in Karttika the moon is full in or near Křittikå (the 3rd nakshatra). On the other hand, an examination of native calendars for different years shows that in the majority of cases the nakshatra is Mûle on the Afth tithi of the bright half of Kârttika. This observation some years ago, when I first saw the text of the inscription in Ep. Oarn. Vol. VI., Roman text, p. 95, at once convinced me that the writer of the text erroneously must have put suddha-punnameyum (where the word suddha would really be superfluous) for suddha-panchamiyum. The date thus would give us for calculation the Afth tithi of the bright half of Kårttika, a Monday, and the nakshatra Múla; and during the period (A.D. 989-1005), to which according to Dr. Fleet the inscription must be assigned, it would be correct for Monday, the 7th October A.D. 989, and for Monday, the 3rd October A.D. 992. Monday, the 7th October 989, was entirely occupied by the 5th tithi of the bright half of Kårttika, and on it the nakshatra was Müla, by the equal space system from 0 h. 39 m., by the Brahma-siddhanta for 7 h. 13 m., and according to Garga for 12 h. 29 m., after mean sunrise. And onMonday, the 3rd October A.D. 992, the 5th tithi of the bright half of Kârttika ended 20 h. 53 m., while the nakshatra was Mula, by the equal space system from 5 h. 16 m., by the Brabma-siddhanta for 11 h. 50 m., and according to Garga for 17 h. 4 m., after mean sunrise. Which of these two days, or whether either of them, is the true equivalent of the original date, it is impossible to say at present.-F. K. 59, No. 8, 1. 13,- for (Pr.) read (N.). 78, text line 2,- for Karabend-read Karabend-. 79, 1. 5,- for Karabend read Karabena. 82, No. 12, text line 1,- for Dinikaputrena read Dinikapų trena (i.e. putrêņa). 101, text line 1,- for were read faer, and for safet read oxfat. 104, note 1,- for stue read arge. 111, 6,-for मद्दश्या read मदृश्या. ► 115, text line 73,- for fuld read agad. > 121, 1. 15,- for a read an. , 123, 1. 2 from bottom, - for left side read right side. , 126, note 3, 1.3,--for Balagâmi read Baligåmi. In 7 calendars out of 12 Mala is joined with the 5th tithi of the bright half of Kårttiks, and in 3 with the 4th tithi ; in 2 (in which Kârttika in preceded by an intercalary month) Múla goes with the 3rd tithi.
