The text, in that case, is to be transcribed : “chatur-usiti-nagar-ūdhishthita-Lalāta-lochanam jagad-ridit-ashfadas-Asramëdha-dikshitu-kula-pra. sūtari'', and the translation, would then be :" who had settled (1.e., consecrat. ed) Siva (Lalata lochana) in eighty-four towns and was sprong from a rare which had performed the eighteen world-famed Aśvamëdha sacrifices."

Kirti-Samkara-dëtar should be " the god (Siva) named Kirti-Sarkara." This must have been the name of a shrine in the Madhukėśvara temple or somewhere in its neighbourhood. It is evident that Kirtti-Samkara was the
name of the Siva temple built by Kirttiga.--H. K. S. » 869 trans., T. 17.-The translation ought in my opinion to be :-The fame of the sole
