JANUARY, 1889.) GRANT OF CHANDRADEVA AND MADANAPALA.
11
northern or southern year 1154, expired, corresponds to Friday, 8 January, A.D. 1098; while the uttarayana-savikranti had taken place on Thursday, 24 December, A.D. 1097, which was the third day of the dark half of Màgha, by the parnimánta, or of Pausha, by the amánta reckoning.
The villaga granted, and the pattald in which it was situated, I am unable to identify on the maps at my disposal.

15 Metre, SardOlavikridita. ** Thin sign of visarga had originally been omitted. I believe the right reading to be Sinhal faisha-vald-iva: see ante, Vol. XV., p. 12, noto 97.
* This sign of panotaation is superfnous.
1 Thoss signs of punctuation are superflaous. On the siga, resembling chha, which stands between them, see anta, Vol. XVII. p. 140, note 45. 1 The consonant, dh, of this akshara is quite distinct, but the whole akshara may possibly be dhe.
This sign of punctuation is superfluous.
* The actual reading of the text is uttarinayana-Uttarinayana for wttardyana we also find ante, Vol. VI. P. 197, line 22.
