to Permānadı Erayappa and to Kumāra sēna Bhatāra of Kalbapputirtha. Fleet assigned Ereyappa to 901-938 A C. (E.I VI p. 59). Cd 74, E. C. XI. says that in Ś 890 Prabhava (968 A.D.) Jakki Sundari, the wife of Sudraka, built a basadı in Kakambūle and the inscription mentions Rāmacandra the disciple of Astöpavāsi, Balacandra bhalara, Khehara Sakti, Gunacandra Kirti, Nāganandi and Kumāra Kirti dēva. This astopavāsi was probably the same as Kelnele dēva the disciple of Elācārya. Since Indranandin's Jvālā malini kalpa was written after Elācarya, and in the times of Rāstra kūta Krshna III (939-966 A, D.), there is nothing to prevent Ela carya and Kalnele dēva being assigned to c. 900 A. C. and Nemicandra himself may have to be assigned to c. 925 A. C. Therefore it is highly probable that the image of Sri Gommațēśvara was installed in c. 907-8 A. C.
