* The date reads 186 mághakrsna divādaśamyā buddha [sic] dime. I suggested to Dr. Kielhorn (and he agrees), that divādané” probably stands for dwādaśamyám tithaw which gives 186 as an expired year (the usual solution for this era.) lf however we interpret the date as meaning “on the tenth day,” we have to take the rare solution (I. Ant. XVII. 252) of a current year, with the result (as Dr. Kielhorn informs me) Wednesday, 2nd February, 1065. * Son of Sahkaradeva, born Samvat 177, Ásadha.

If the following phrase UTSIT orgs ww.uk means that he reigned and died in (240 + 53) 293, it will not fit well with the ascertained date of Amrtadeva. * According to W*, fol. 32b, Arimalla, son of Jayaši [sic], Malladeva, was born 274, reigned 15 years (according to Vl.25 years 10 months; but this does not suit with the other dates our last date from MSS. will just allow. * Born 366, son of Rājadeva.

This puts his death towards the end of 336, which Now a Jayāditya, according to W8 (35b), was the son of Jayabhima, and was born 358. Probably there is something wrong in this last (Coll.

For it seems unlikely that Anantamalla should not only have superseded an older heir-apparent, but also have allowed him to live on as heir-apparent to himself. Moreover, in W8 (36b) we find mention of Jayabhima as rāja in 378 and Jayasimhamalladeva (who seems to have actually succeeded him, according to W126a) as yuvarāj. This seems very strange if Jayāditya was alive all the time. The statement of Wright may be correct in so far as it implies a divided kingdom in Ananta's time. * * 1 Jayarudra was the son of Jayatuñgamalla. Jayāri is called svakutumba, a vague phrase for ‘kinsman' perhaps. The full date of his death (or of the suttee of his wives—the punctuation would allow of either interpretation) is 446, Asādha púrnami, W8 at 46b gives the same date, for the death (No perhaps ‘time up to which he remained in the world,' a common. expression in the chronicle), not mentioning the suttee; but it makes two suspicious additions: (1) The addition of ‘prathama' to the month, though Asādha was not intercalated ; (2), the impossible allowance of 30 years 8 months to the king’s reign. * Born 437, Phálguna krsna datamā dhanesta [sic], brhaspati vära ; son of Jayānandadeva by a sañgrahani bhāryū (WB, 45b). The tracing referred to in the last column was kindly sent me by Mahām. Haraprasād Săstri. & Son of Jayarājadeva and Rudramadevi, apparently (see p. 11, note) born in 467, Waiš sudi 7. (W1, f. 28b; Plate fig. 8.) According to WB (60b) he died in 502, Māgha badi 5. This may well be correct; for the date 504 given doubtfully in my Cambridge Cat., p. 119, is much too uncertain to form a contrary argument. On re-examination I find the middle word looks more like cihna (not known as a numeral word) than bindu. On the other hand, visuya = 5 is certain; so that Jayārjuna was alive in 500 or A.D. 1379-80. |
