This is very much damaged and date Saka 1125, Dundubhi, Pushya, su. [8], Brihavara. The date seems to be irregular. Pushya su. 8 in Dundubhi ended on Tuesday = 24^th December A.D. 1202. On Thursday the tithi was su. 11, which was also the day of Uttarayana-sankranti ( = A.D. 1202 December 26). This was probably the day ointended. The inscription refers itself to the reign of the Yadava king Singana. It records that the kingâs miniter Basavarasa, who was ruling over Sindavadi one-thousand, made a gift of some plots of land for the service of the god Amritesvara-Gopinatha and Chenna-Somanathadeva and also to several Brahmans (named).

If, however, magha is a mistake for Pausha the date would be equivalent to A.D. 1210 December 19 Sunday. It records the gift of the toll-revenue oof Moladakallu by Bhilluva-Nayaka, who was in charge of the tolls of Sindavadi one-thousand in the manne of Jagadala Somaya-Nayaka, for the service of the god Mallikarjuna.

But in the solar month of Chittirai or Mesha, su. 10 commenced on Wednesday, 4^th April = (11 Mesha) at .06 and ended at .04 on the following day. The month of Chaitra in the inscription may perhaps have been meant for the solar month Chittirai or Meshaâ. The record mentions Murari Kesava, the minister of the Yadava king jaitugi as the lord of the desa (probably the Sindhuvadi-vishaya). It records that Anantapriya, disciple of Ananta, who was a disciple of Jnanapriya, set up the god Yoga-Narasimhadeva to the north of the tank (made by?)

Puvina-Padangile is stated to have been situated in the Kogali-nadu, which was the eye of the Nolambavadi-nadu which again was, as itwere, the nose of Kuntala-desa.
