Excerpt from Sanskrit and Old Canarese Inscriptions, Vol. 12: Relating to the Yadava Kings of Devagiri
The characters and, language are Old Canarese. A good photograph of this tablet is among the supplementary plates, still to be published, of Mr. Burgess' Arch?ological Report for 1874. The inscription records grants made in the Saka year 1145 (A.D. 1223-4), the Chitrabhanu samvatsara to the temple of Panchalingadeva at Munipura or Munivalli in the district known as the Toragale Six-thousand, by Purushottama, the General of Singhanadeva, and other persons.
No. III is a Sanskrit inscription of the time of king Krishna, or, as he is here called, Kanhara or Kanhara, the grandson of Singhanadeva. It has already been published by me at pp. 246 et seqq. of No. XXVII, Vol. IX, of this Journal; I now give a revised transcription, with a full transcription of all the important part of the inscription. The original is in somewhat corrupt Kayastha characters, on copper-plates which were found at Chikka-Bagiwadi in the Belgaum Taluka of the Belgaum District, and which now belong to myself. The plates, three in number, are fastened together by a ring, the seal of which bears a representation of the god Hanuman; their size is 7?" broad by lO?" long, and the inscription is written across the breadth of the plates. It records how, in the Saka year 1172 (A.D. 1250-1), the Saumya samvatsara, Mallisaitti, the minister of Kanhara, at the king's command bestowed upon thirty-two Brahmans, attached to the shrine of the god Madhavadeva, certain lands at Santheya-Bagavadi of the Huvvalli Twelve in the country of Kuhundi, and how the grant was subsequently confirmed by Mallisaitti's son Chaundisaitti. As I have already pointed out, this inscription, as also No. IV, supplies the name of Singhanadeva's son, Jaitugi, not previously ascertained by Sir W. Elliot.
