EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
[Voi. XIX
mean sunrise, i.o., at 9.15 p.x. on the previous Saturday, so it actually took place before the qnoted tithi began; but the day to which it was attached, viz. from mean sunrise on Saturday to mean sunrise on Sunday, was still current when the tithi commenced, and hence the twc dates might legitimately be connected. Mr. Sewell informs me that according to the Brahma-sidilhānta the uttarāyana-sankranti occurred on Friday, 23 December, a date which could not possibly he connected with the given tithi.
The only place-names mentioned are: the Banevāse Twelve-thousand (1. 12), the Six. hundred consisting of the two Beļvalas', i.e. Bevala and Puligere (11. 12-13), the Basavurs Hundred-and-forty (1. 20), Dēvagēri (1. 25), Marayagere (1. 26), and the tirthas (1. 30).
