EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
(VOL. XIII.
The details of the date of this record (1. 108) are : Saka 1047; the cyclio year Vigvāvası ; the thirteenth day of the dark fortnight of Bhadrapada; Sukra-vāra (Friday); a "great tithi," being a Yugadi. Dr. Fleet gives me the following remarks :-" This Visvävasu samvatsara was the saka year 1047 expired, A.D. 1125-26. For this year the given tithi, Bhadrapada krishna 13, answers quito regularly to Friday, 28 August, A.D. 1128, on which day it ended at about 17 h. 55 m, after mean sunrise (for Ujjain)=5.55 PM. The mention of the tithi as a great tithi, a Yugadi,' refers to the fact that, for some reason or other which is not apparent, the tithi Bhādrapada kfishna 13 is always known as Kaliyug-adi, the beginning of the Kali Age,' though the tithi on which each of the Ages and the Manvantaras and the Kulps itself really began is Chaitra sukla 1: for anything done in celebration of the Kali: yugādi tithi the tithi has to be taken with the day on which it is current during the time known as aparāhra, the early) afternoon, which is the time from about 18 to 24 ghatis After mean suurise, that is, from about 1.12 to 3.36 P.M. : and this was the case on the present occasion."
Of the places mentioned several may be identified. The nad of Palasigo or Halasigo had for its capital the town of that name, which is now known as Halsi, and is situate in lat. 15° 32 long. 74° 36', in the Kbānapör täluka of the Belgaum District. Payve, or Hayve, has not yet heen located. The Kavadi-dvipa lakh-and-a-quarter, mentioned elsewhere as Käpardika-dvipa (Journ. Bomb. Br. R. As. Soc., Vol. IX, p. 272), may be taken as denoting the possessions which the Silabāras had had in the southern parts of the Konkap : the name was derived from that of Kapardin I, the original ancestor of the Silābāras of Thāna and those parts. Kundūr, now Narēndra, we have already mentioned. Kumbāragere," the Potters' Tank » (1. 112), is perhaps to be sought in or near the hamlet Kumbā pür or Kumbhāpur, where the record stands, three-quarters of a mile to the south-west of Narendra. Däravāda (1. 113) is the modern Dhārwār; it is noteworthy that this name is here written very clearly with the anaspirated 2,8 whereas in modern usage it always has the aspirated dh. Navilür (I. 114) appears on the Bombay Survey as “ Navlúr" and on the Indian Atlas sheet 41 (1852) Ag “Nowloor” ; it lies some two miles south-east of Dhårwār, and seven miles in the samo direction from Narendra. Kauvalagēri (1. 115) is given on the Bombay Survey as “ Kowlgeri," on the Indian Atlas (ut supra) as Kowlgeeree"; it is between six and seven miles eastby-Booth from Narēndra. The other local places still await identification. Aneya-sundil (1. 114; and B, 1.51) means "the Elephant's Trank": whether this name denotes a village, or something else such as a tank or a large sculptured stone, is not apparent. Gove (1.11) is of course the modern Goa. Surāshtra (ibid.) is Kathiāwār. And Jayantipura (1. 95) is another name of Banawasi in North Kānara. Thāņēm or Thana, more usually known as Sthanaka in that period, seems to be mentionod an Thăneya in verse 11.

An inscription at Gudikatti, Nos. 147 and 164 in Professor Kielhorn's List of the Inscriptions of Southern India, vol VII above, appendix, presents dates in A.D. 1007 for Shashtbadeva I and A.D. 1052 for Jayakosin I : but the record bas not been published, and the first date is perhaps a questionable one. For the Gurala who is mentioned in line 30 (verse 21) of our preront inscription A, we have a date in A.D. 1098 from an inscription at Kadaroli in the Sampgaum taluka of the
