GAṆAPATI DĒVA.

1221 A.D.

It is dated Śaka [1143 ?] Vikrama, Phālguṇa, ba. 10. The date seems to be irregular. The cyclic year has been read as Vyaya in the Annual Report. After the reexamination of the impression, the cyclic year Vyaya has been corrected into Vikrama. If we take Vyaya into consideration, the tithi ba. 10 falls on Sunday and not on Tuesday. However, if we take the cyclic year Vikrama into consideration, the date of the record is corresponding to 1221 A.D. February 18, the week day being Thursday.

Mutilated and incomplete. Refers to the gift of 25 cows for maintaining the perpetual lamp probably in the temple of Bhōgīśvara mahādēva and entrusted the same to one Nannabōyuḍu, son of Amarabōyuḍu. It describes that certain [Chenna]ḍa Peggaḍa Apparāju as the engraver of the record.
