followed by the expression agunēņți, or its variants, agunēņḍi, gunēņţi, gunendi, gunēndu, nenți, nendi and so on. The months are generally zodiacal; where solar, chiefly as the Uttarayana and Dakṣinayana Sankrantis. The Tithis are generally calculated according to the Sūryya-siddhānta; and the Pūrṇimānta scheme is followed preferably to the amanta.

The regnal years are always given in figures. They are followed by the technical expression-yagu çrāhi or gu çrāhi, or simply çrāhi, çrā-i or çrāhini; and preceded by the words Pravarddhamāna-vijaya-rājya (increasingly victorious reign). The word "year" is generally denoted in Ōṛiyā and sometimes in Sanskrit inscriptions by aŋka; in the Tēlugu inscriptions by the words Samvatsara or its variants.

In the case of Cōraganga, only a selection of his inscriptions has been given; in the case of other kings, all the inscriptions known have been quoted. Altogether dates of 101 inscriptions have been given in the tables [see supra, p. 99], besides others referred to in the accounts given below them. These date-extracts, being mostly new, have been quoted in original for reference.

At the end of this article, a genealogical table of the entire Ganga family has been attached with years of reigns.

Good many inscriptions of this king's time have been found, and reported in the Madras Epigraphical Report for 1895-96. More than one hundred have been found at Mukhalingam, besides two at Çrikūrmam, and five in their neighbourhood. Of these, the date èxtracts of 34 are given below; but many of the inscriptions unfortunately cannot be verified:
