EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
(VOL. XV.
The details of the data are as follows: the third year of Bhillama's reign, the oyolio your Saumys; the first of the dark fortnight of Pushya; Monday; the uttarayana-sarhloranti. This is quite regular, corresponding to Monday, 25th December, A.D. 1189, when the given tithi ended at about 15 h. 44 m. after mean sunrise, and the son entered Makara (at 5 h. 55 m. after mean sunrise by the Arya-Siddhānta, and at 6 h. 45 m. by the Sürya-Siddhanta).
The places mentioned are not many. Apart from Kuntala (11. 9, 19) and the catalogue of nations alleged to be in fear of Bhillama (11. 12-13, 36), we find Taddavādi (1. 19 : of the older form Tardavadi in the preceding inscription, 1. 10), Muttage (11. 20, 28, 40: cf. the earlier form Murttage in the previous inscription), Dvārivati (1. 35), Tenevalage (1. 37), and Bivavura (1. 46). On DvārivatI see Dyn. Kan. Distr., p. 517. The "standing camp" (nelooldu) of Tenevalage and the town of Bivavora (corresponding to a Sanskrit Bhimapura) cannot be identified with any certainty.
