________________ 120 EPIGRAPHIA INDICA. 6 and King Sinbyuthikhin deputed the Royal Preceptor, 7 Siridhammarajaguru, to undertake the work of repair. 8 Sirikassapa, the disciple of the Preceptor, had sufficient funds, 9 but could not take the work in hand (owing, probably, to the absence of skilled artisans) 10 He, therefore, sent Varavasi, a junior Thera, 11 to King Pyutathin Min, who complied with the solicitation for assistance. 12 The work of repair was begun on Friday, the 10th, waxing of Pyatho 657 B.E. (January 1295 A.D.), 13 and was completed on Sunday, the 8th, waxing of Tazaungmon 660 B.E. (November 1298 A.D.) 14 The following offerings were dedicated to the shrine: flags and streamers, 1,000 bowls of rice and 1,000 lamps (for several times), 2 boys in the place of the donor's own children, 15 and gold and silver flowers and cloth hung on bamboo framework. 16 In order to provide for the daily offering of rice at the shrine, at all times, 17 land, slaves, and cattle were purchased and likewise dedicated. May this 18 meritorious deed of mine lead me on to Nirvana! 19 May I become a disciple of Metteyya, the coming Buddha! No. 11.-DATES OF CHOLA KINGS. BY PROFESSOR H. JACOBI, BONN. I have received from the Government Epigraphist, Mr. Venkayya, a large number of dates for examination, of which I here publish 32 dates of Chola kings. In accepting this task I may be permitted to give expression to my admiration of the work done by my predecessor, the late Professor Kielhorn. Without the results he had worked out with inexhaustible patience, I probably should not have succeeded in verifying many of the dates which are now published. The dates have been calculated with the help of my General Tables published in Volume I, p. 448 of this journal. The time of the end of tithis and nakshatras is given in ghatikās only, when the result at issue would not be influenced by a few ghatikās, more or less. In those cases, however, where a higher degree of accuracy is wanted, I have made use of the new special tables which I am going to publish in Part iv. of this volume. These tables yield the result within a few palas according to the Arya, Sarya, and Brahma-Siddhantas, and the Siddhanta-Siromani. The date No. 198 reduces the time previously found for the commencement of the reign of Rajadhiraja II. to the period from the 7th to the 30th March 1163 A.D. The remaining dates confirm the results previously found. A.-PARAKESARIVARMAN RAJENDRA-CHOĻA I. 191.-In the Vedapurisvara temple at Tirukkalittaṭṭai.1 [VOL.
