EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
[VOL. XXI.
Of the places mentioned in the grant Payvegundu can be identified with Haigunda, a village about 12 miles east of Honavar, on the bank of the river Sarāvati. Peramale has probably to be identified with the modern village Heravali which lies at a distance of about six miles north-west of Haigunda , and Tapvalli may be the same as the present Tumbolli, also close to Haigunda.
