UPPAD-KURHATTI INSCRIPTION OF AKALAVARSHA KRISHNA III. 365
We have thus two dates in the inscription, the one for the grant to the temple and the ther for the revelation of the god. The first is specified in 11. 3-6 as Saka 868, Paribhava; Bhadrapada du. 1; Bunday. This is irregular according to the Southern Cycle, in which Partbhava is equated with Saka 868 expired; for by the Sürya-siddhanta the tithi bu. 1 was current on Friday, July 31, A.D. 946, and Mr. Sewell, who has kindly examined the dates for this paper, points out that by the Arya-siddhanta fu. 1 was expunged. It follows therefore that the date intended was Sak, 868 current, Pará bhava, according to the Northern Cycle, by which the tithi . 1 was connected with Monday, 11 August, A.D. 945, and ended on that day 16 h. 5 m. fter man sunrise (for Ujjain); it was, therefore, current during the last 8 h. 26 m. of the recedis Sunday, which, hence, by a slight irregularity might be coupled with it (cf. r. Yakatasubbiah's Some Saka Dates in Inscriptions, p. 69).
De second date is given on II. 28-30 as Saka 864 (current), Subhakrit; Jyaishtha fu. 15 (ayently); Thursday. These data also imply the use of the Northern Cycle, according to wh the tithi was connected with Thursday, 13 May, A.D. 941, and ended 15 h. 55 m. after me sunrise for Ujjain. Mr. Sewell informs me that practically the same results are obtained byplying the Arya-siddhānta: calculating for true motions of sun and moon, the difference isly 34 m., and calculating for mean motions, it is 1 h. 38 m.
The geographical names mentioned are Kolalapura (1. 7), Nanda-giri (1. 7), the Threehdreds of Puligere and Belvola (1.8), Karana-Guripatti (1. 13) with the sanskritised form Jshade-patti (1. 31), and Dēvam gēri (1. 18). KO!Alapura is Kolhapur. On Karanauripatti see above. Dévangéri is perhaps the modern Deogări, in the neighbourhood of dag town.
