________________ No. 24.] DATES OF CHOLA KINGS. 137 188.-In the Bhāvanārāyaṇasvāmin temple at Bapatla.? 1 (Sva]ati srimast*]-Tribhuvanacbakrava[r]tti þri-Kulottunga-Chodladevara divya (sarvatsaram ba?2 lu 4 gu frühi Sa(sa)ka-va[ru]shambulu 1038gun=ēndi Simha-masamuna śukla paksham[n]. 3 na pamchamiy[a] Mamgalaváramuna. “Hail! In the year 1058 of the Saka years, which corresponded to the 4th of the prosperous years of the reign) of the glorious emperor of the three worlds, sri-KulottungaChödadēva,-on a Tuesday (which was) the fifth tithi of the bright fortnight of the month of Simha." This date is also correct. On Tuesday, August 4th, A.D. 1138, which corresponded to Saka 1038 expired, the 5th tithi of the bright fortnight of Bhadrapada was current, the day being the 9th of the mouth Simha. This tithi expired 9 h. 22 m. aftur mean sunrise on that day. 189.-In the Bhavanārāyaṇasvāmin temple at Bapatla. 1 [Svasti srimat-Tribhuvann chakravartti sri-Kulottungga-Chodado2 [vn]m divya-barn vatsaramulu 11 srühi Saka-vara3 shambulu 1065n=épti #shada(dha)-masamuna 44 mavasyayu Budhaváramu Vye(vya)tipàta-nimi5 tyamuda. "Hail ! In the year 1065 of the Sake years, in the 1lth of the prosperous years oj the reign) of the [glorious] emperor of the three worlds, sri-Kulottunga-Chodadēva,- on the . occasion of a Vyutipata (which occurred on) a Wednesday and the new-moon tithi of the month of Ashādha." The day in question was Wednesday, July 14th, A.D. 1143. On this day at mean sunrise the 15th tithi of the dark half of Ashādha was current, the exact moment of the new-moon being 4 b. 2 m. later. The yoga Vyatipāta began on that day at 4 h. 35 m. after mean sunrise and lasted all day. It therefore began 33 m. after new-moon. 190.-In the Bhavanārāyaṇasvāmin temple at Bapatla.

"Hail! Prosperity! In the year 1084 of the Saka years, which corresponded to the [10]th of the years (of the reign of the emperor of the three worlds, sri-Kulottunga-Cbödadēva and to the (cyclic) year Dundubhi,-on a Tuesday, the eleventh tithi of the bright (fortnight of) Āshādha." I find this date unsatisfactory. Saka 1064 expired was the cyclic year Dundubhi, and the date ought to fall in Jane or July A.D. 1142 according as the Ashādha in question was the adhika or nija Ashādha, for that month was intercalary in that year. The Ilth tithi of the bright fortnight of adhika Ashadba fell in that year on a Saturday. The same tithi of nija No. 183 of the Madras Epigraphical collection for 1897. ? No. 180 of the same coll-ction. No. 223 of the same collection,
