EPIGRAPHIA INDICA MORE INSCRIPTIONS AT ABLUR (1 Plate) P. B. DESAI, OOTACAMUND Ablūr is a village about 6 miles north of Hirekerūr, the present day headquarters of Kōḍ taluk, Dharwar District. Traditions are current in these parts asserting that formerly it was a very big city[10] and included within its extent the present day neighbouring villages of Bhōgāvi Sutkōṭi, Nūlgēri, Dūpadhaḷḷi and Yattinhaḷḷi. According to another tradition Ablūr is the birth place of Sarvajña,[11] The popular Kannaḍa poet (circa 1700 A. C), and a house near the Sōmēśvara temple is shown as the place where he was born. In one of his tripadī verses Sarvajña states that he was born at Aṁbalūru[12] which is identified with Ablūr.
