EPIGRAPHIA INDICA

163.─Ś. 970.─Jour. Bo. As. Soc. Vol. X. p. 172. Notice of a Saundatti Kanarese inscription containing a date of the reign of the W. Châlukya (Sômêśvara I.) Trailôkyamalla, and of his feudatory, the Raṭṭa Mahâsâmanta Aṅka :[1]

Śaka 970, ‘ the Sarvadhâri saṁvatsara, on Sunday, the seventh day of the dark fortnight of the month Pushya, at the time when the sun was commencing his progress to the north.’

The date is irregular.

(For a later date in the same inscription see below, No. 192).

164.─Ś. 973 (for 974).─Ind. Ant. Vol. XII. p. 211, No. 42. Guḍikaṭṭi Kanarese Kâdamba inscription. Date of the reign of the W. Châlukya Sômêśvara I., and of his feudatory, the Kâdamba (of Goa) Jayakêśin I., ‘ the lord of Koṅkaṇa :’[2]

(L.19).─Sa(śa)ka-kâḷaṁguṇa-sapta-Naṁda-mṛi(mi)tam=âgal=varttakaṁ Nandanâbdakam.

(For an earlier date in the same inscription see above, No. 147).

165.─ Ś. 975.─ Ep. Ind. Vol. IV. p. 260, and Plate. Keḷawaḍi Kanarese inscription of the reign of the W. Châlukya (Sômêśvara I.) Trailôkyamalla, and of his feudatory, the Daṇḍanâyaka Bhôgadêvarasa, recording a grant by the latter’s nephew, the minister Supparasa :─

For the Akshaya-tṛitîyâ new-moon, i.e. the new-moon of Chaitra, the date regularly corresponds to Sunday, 10th April A.D. 1054 ; in the original date the word Vaiśâkha has been put erroneously for Chaitra.

(L. 33).─Sa(śa)ka-varsha 976neya Jaya-saṁvatsara Vaiśa(śâ)khad=amâvâśye(sye)

Sômavârad=aṁdina śû(sû)ryyagrahaṇa-nimitya(tta)diṁ. 10th May A.D. 1054, with a solar eclipse, visible in India ; but the day was a Tuesday, not a Monday ; see ibid, Vol. XXIV. p. 7, No. 150.

The inscription mentions, in the Mûla-saṁgha, Sêna-gaṇa, and Pogari-gachchha : Brahmasêna, his disciple Âryasêna, his disciple Mahâsêna, and his disciple Châṅkirâja (Châṅkaṇârya or Châṅkimayya, the son of Kommarâja of the Vânasa family), an officer of Kêtaladêvî.

‘ The inscription is dated in the Śaka year 977, being the Manmatha saṁvatsara.’
