THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
[JUNE, 1889.
In lines 93 to 96, we have the same verse that occurs in No. 178, giving the date of the accession of Anantavarma-Chodagangadeva. And line 114 gives the actual date of the grant itself, which is simply mentioned, without further details for calculation, as a meritorious day in Saka-Samvat 1040, expressed in numerical words and not distinctly specified either as current or as expired, but equivalent, as an expired year,1 to A.D. 1118-1119.

10 This vowel & was at first omitted, and then was inserted, rather indistinctly, over the lower part of the ti. 11 Metre, Bikharini. 13 Metre, Bardalavikridita. 18 Metre, Vasantatilaka.
14 The use and position of the word nama might possibly be held to indicate that the name of Samvedya's son is to be found in the word bhdevan; in which case the first four syllables of this verse would be taken as one word, with an ablative sense, and the translation would be from Samvédya there was born Bhaavat by name, (resplendent) like a jewel." But on the whole it would seem that the name Samvédin is intended; and that this name, and that of Dattasena, were purposely placed at the beginning and the end of the stanse.
