EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
[Vol. XV.
The date is given as: the 23rd year of the Chalukya-Vikrama era, the cyclio year Bahu. dhānya; the full-moon day of Jyaishtha ; Sunday; an eclipse of the moon (11. 68-69). This is irregular, for the given tithi corresponded to Monday, 17 Mey, A.D. 1098, on which day it ended about 21 h. ll m. after mean sunrise (for Ujjain); and there was no eclipse on that date.
The only places mentioned are: Kuntala (11. 30, 33), Lokkigundi (11. 51-53, 60, 62, 64-66, 73), and Belvals or Belvols (11. 53, 60). Lokkigundi is the modern Lakkundi ("Lakundi" on the Bombay Survey, "Lukoondee" on the Indian Atlas), in lat. 15° 23' and long. 75° 45%, about 6 miles south-east from Gadag.
