South Indian Inscriptions |
INCRIPTIONS OF THE KALACHURIS OF TRIPURI siva.1 Malayasimha is probably identical with the homonymous feudatory of Vijaya- simha. His inscription2 dated K. 944 shows that he was in charge of the territory round Rewa during the reign of Vijayasimha. The inscription bears in line 17 a date in three digits, the first two of which are Probably 9 and 6. The third digit is completely effaced. But as the Dhurēti inscription of Trailōkyamalla shows that the Chandēllas occupied the territory round Rewa in K. 963 the third digit of the date must have been o, I, or 2. This date must evidently be referred to the Kalachuri era. The corresponding Christian date will, therefore, range from 1208-9 to 1210-11 A.C. As for the localities mentioned in the present inscription, the Rēvā pattalā must have comprised the territory round the modern town of Rewa. The village Dhōtta- Vāda I am unable to identify.
