________________ SANSKRIT AND OLD CANARESE INSCRIPTIONS. brother Ku bja-Vishnuvardhana. The exact date of the latter has not yet been determined, no inscription of his own time being known of; but, calculating backwards by means of inscriptions which give the duration of the reigns of him and his successors of the Eastern dynasty, Dr. Burnellt places it at about A.D. 630, or $ aka 552. It may well be that the two dynasties were separated in Saka 533, and that Pulikêéi II. was then installed afresh on the throne of the Western branch of the family, at the same time when his younger brother, after being already united with him in the government as Yuvaraja, according to the • usual custom, was installed as the separate sovereign of the Eastern branch. The expres sicn made use of in line 11 of the present | successors as the Eastern Chalukyas.' inscription," in the third year of my own installation in the sovereignty,"-seems to point to some such ceremony having been gone through, and thus to support this suggestion. And, the duration of the reign of Kubja-Vishnuvardhan a being always recorded as eighteen years, -if we take Saka 533 as the starting-point, the computation agrees closely enough with the Gate otherwise arrived at by Dr. Burnell. The separation of the two dynasties in the persons of Pulikêsi II. and his younger brother is a historical fact, whatever the exact date of the occurrence may be. Accordingly, in future notices I shall speak of the successors of Pulikesi II as the Western Chalukyas' and of Kubja-Vishnuvardhana and his Transcription. First plate.
