first section of the record which is registered in the Annual Report
on South Indian Epigraphy for 1926-27 as No. 200 of App. E., is
dated Saka 1152, Vijaya, Chaitra-paurnami, Sunday. Saka 1152 corresponds to the cyclic year Vikriti when the
other details of the date do not agree.
If we fix upon the cyclic year Vijaya which corresponds to Saka

for 1926-27 as No.201 of App.E, is dated in the cyclic year Krodhi,
Jyeshtha-punnami, Monday. As
no king is mentioned as there are no palaeographical differences
therecord may be assigned to the reign of Singhana.
The cyclic year may thus be equated with Saka 1166. when the
above details correspond to 1244 A.D., May 23.
The
first section registers a gift of land made by the chief Karana Vamadeva
to the god Svayambhu Kalideva when Mahapradhana, Mahapasyita,
Sarvadhikari Vasudevanayaka was governing Kisukadu Seventy from its
capital Erambarage. The
gift was entrusted into the hands of the Four Hundred Mahajanas of
Nidugundi.

second section records a gift of land for offering flowers to the same
god, by Kheyya Thakkura-nayaka at the instanceof Bhaskaranayaka who bore
