to at any rate Saka 799. It is, therefore, unlikely that his son, Krishna II., reigned much longer after Saka 833, when he had already been in power for thirty-six years. And, whereas we have already the title of Akâlavarsha for .Krishna II, there is no evidence, and it seems improbable, that any of the Rashtrakutas had more than one title ending in varsha. There can, therefore, be little,

if any doubt, that the Prabhutavarsha" of this inscription is Jagattunga II., for whom we have as yet no title ending in varsha. His great-grandfather, Govinda III., had the same titles of Prabhutavarsha and Jagattunga. Accordingly, it seems not improbable that, if ever the inscriptions disclose the real name of Jagattunga II., it will be found to be Govinda V.

Translation.
Hail! In the length (of time) when Prabhutavarsha was protecting the broad circuit of the earth with ever increasing praiseworthiness of power:
(L. 2.)-When the eight hundred and fortieth year (of) the Saka era, that is known by the name of Pramathi," was current ; at the time of the samkramana when the sun came to (the sign) makara, (and) on the lunar day
Though the argument cannot be pressed as far as he seeks to press it, yet there is, of course, a good deal of force in the suggestion made by Mr. Rice at p. 11 above. But the information that we already possess (see the genealogy in Vol. XI. p. 109) shows that, whatever relations there were between the names and the titles of the Rashtrakuta kings, they were not absolutely constant ones.

(L. 4.) At the command of Vôra(?), who said:"Let him give a manya-grant,"-Linga (P), who was a marvel of truth, having of his own pleasure given twelve mattars of culturable land to the tank, acquired fame,
