Naregal,
Ron Taluk, Dharwar District
On
A Slab Inside The Temple Of Kalamesvara
This
inscription refers itself to the reing of Tribhuvanamalladeva (Vikramaditya
VI) and places on record the gift of land made by Mundeyara
Sri[va]nta-Gavunda on the specified date to Nilakantha Panditadeva,
for the benefit of the temple of Mulasthanadevam built by him in the
centre of the southern quarter of Narayamgal.
At the time of recording the grant the Sinda Mahamandalesvara
Permadidevarasa was ruling over Kisukadu Seventy, Kelavadi
Three-Hundred, Bagadage Seventy and Narayamgal Twelve, from
his capital at Erambarage. It
is known from a record at Kodikop, a hamlet of Naregal (N.K. No 194
of 1926-27), that the chief was administering the same tract in A.D.
1144 under the Western Chalukya ing agadekamalla II(J.B.B.R.A.S.,
Vol. XI)
The
character is dated Saka 872, Saumya, Pushya, su. Punnami, Monday,
lunar eclipse and Uttarayana-sankranti.
The details are vey irregular.
In Saumya according to te Southern cycle, Pushya full-moon
fell on Monday but the tithi ended at. 06.
There was no lunar eclipse or Uttaryana-sankranti on this
day. But in the
previous year, i.e., Kilaka, which was Saumya, according to
the Northern Cycle Pushya-punnami commenced at 11 on Monday; but
there was no eclipse on this day and the Uttarayana-sankranti
occurred only five days later.
But on the following, i.e., Magha-purnima, there was a
lunar eclipse. Taking
Saumya by the Northern Cycle, the week-day ad tithi would yield the
English date Monday, December 18, A.D., 948.

Yeribyateri,
Ron Taluk, Dharwar District
On
A Stone Set Up In Front Of The Temple Of Ramalinga
This
much damaged inscription belongs to the reing of Tribhuvanamalla-Permadideva
(Vikramaditya VI). It
refers to a subordinate who belonged to [Papakalla-kula] and records
a gift to the gof of Balera Jogesvarada Mulasthana and to the
god Bolesvara. It entions Chavunda-Gavunda, Joma-Gavunda, Joga-Gavunda and
Jakkeyabe.
The
record is date Saka 968, Parthiva, paushya, su. [2], Sunday,
Uttrayanasankramana. In
Parthiva, the sankramana fell not on Sunday but on Tuesday
(=December 24, A.D. 1045). But
in the previous year, i.e., Tarana, it fell on Sunday, Paushya, su.
1 +Sunday, December 23, 1044 A.D.
The latter appears to be the more probable date of the
record.
Since
the date falls during the first year of the reign of Trailokyamalla
Somesvara I, the father of Vikramaditya VI, it is not possible to
account for the imperial titles applied to the latter as early as
A.D. 1044.

This
damaged inscription purports to belong to the reing of Tribhuvanamalladeva
(Vikramaditya VI) and refers to his subordinate Mahamandalesvara
Jayakesideva, who was then ruling over Konkana
Nine-hundred, Palasige Twelve-Thousand and Kundur
Five-Hundred from his capital at Govage (Goa).
It seems to record the foundation of Siva temple at
Ammayanabhavi, an agrahara in Kundur-nadu and registers a
gift of rice made for offerings in the temple by Machi-ya[nna] and
others.
The
record is date Saka 993, Virodhakrit, . . . .. . pamchami,

Sunday. The tithi was not su. 13, but su. 11.
It has to be remarked that the date of this record is almost
identical with that of B.K. No. 33 of 1927-28 above, belonging to
the reign of the kingâs predecessor Bhuvanaikamalladeva.

the village, as a Paramesvaradatti.

The
record is datd Chalukya-Vikrama year 3, Pingala, Phalguna,
punname, Sunday, lunar eclipse.
Pingala was actually Chalukya-Vikrama year 2.
In this year, there was no lunar eclipse in Phalguna; but
there was one in Sravana, on su. 15, Sunday =A.D. 1077, August 6.
Phalguna is evidently a mistake for Sravana.

December 26.
The
second date, Chalukya-Vikrama year 35, Vikrita, Karttika, punnami,
