While this article was going through the press, I visited Alampur in the Mahbubnagar District, Andhra Pradesh. It was at this place, situated on the bank of the Tungabhadra, that Govinda III was camping as shown above. About a mile to the north of Alampur, there is, on the river-bank, a locality called Rämöévara which is evidently the same as Raméévara-tirtha mentioned in our record. I noticed here the remains of one or two old temples. But what is more interesting is that; on the other bank of the river opposite Rämöévara, there is still a small jungle and I was informed that it is infested with boars even today. I was also told that a stone inscription of the reign of Govinda III, which is now kept in the museum at Alampur, was originally found at this Rämöévara. These facts go to confirm the interpretation of the text (lines 9-10) offered at pp: 328-29.above.
