territory was supplanted by that of the Chandēllas, and Malayasimha seems to have trans- ferred his allegiance to the rising power. Perhaps he was himself instrumental in causing this revolution ! The inscription is dated on Monday, the 7th tithi of the bright fortnight of Jyeshtha in the year 963 of an unspecified era. This date must, of course, be referred to the Kalachuri era, but the details do not work out regularly; for in the current Kalachuri year 963 (1210-11 A.C.) the tithi fell on a Friday and in the expired year 963 (1211-12 A.C.) on a Wednesday. It is not, however, unlikely, in view of the careless writing of the present record, that Some of the text is a mistake for Saumye (on Wednesday) as suggested by Dr. Chakravarti. The date would in that case regularly correspond, for the expired Kalachuri year 963, to Wednesday, the 9th May 1212 A.C. Of the places mentioned here, Dhōvahaţţa has been identified by Dr. Chakravarti with Dhurēti, but there is not much similarity in their names. It is more likely to be Dhōbhat near Makundapur, about 10 miles south by west of Rewa. Dhanavāhi, the headquarters of the pattalā in which it was situated, may be identical with Dhanavāhi which lies 22 miles to the south-west of Dhōbhat. Alaurā I am unable to identify.
