No. 16 of Mr. Hope's collection is an inscription in the Old Canarese characters and language on a stone-tablet in a temple at Pattadakal, the ancient Paṭṭadakisuvolal, on the Malaprabhâ, about eight miles to the east of Bâdâmi in the Kalâdgi District. The emblems at the top of the tablet are:-In the centre, a linga and priest in a shrine; on their right, a figure of Basava, with the sun above it; and on their left a cow and calf, with the moon above them. The inscription consists of seventy-four lines, of about thirty-eight letters each. At the bottom of the tablet there is another short inscription of ten lines; but it cannot be read in the photograph.
The inscription is one of the family of the Great Chieftains of the Sindavamsa, who were the local representatives of the Châlukya kings, and is of the time of Châ vun da II, the subordinate

The text of this inscription, with a translation, has been published by me in the Jour. Bomb. Br. R. As. Soc. (vol. XI, No. xxxi, pp. 259 et seqq.)
