35 <p>This inscription is dated in Śaka 132[8] expired and the <hi rend="italic">Vyaya</hi> year current. It is a deed of sale of the revenue in gold and the revenue in rice of one half of the village of <hi rend="bold">Veppambaṭṭu</hi> and of the village of <hi rend="bold">Śiṟu-Kaḍambūr</hi>. The first-mentioned village belonged to <hi rend="bold">Āndi-nāḍu</hi>, a division of <hi rend="bold">Agara-paṟṟu</hi>. Both villages are stated to have been granted to the temple of <hi rend="bold">Virūpāksha-deva</hi><note>The same is the old name of the Pampāpati Temple at Hampi (Vijayanagara).</note> at <hi rend="bold">Veppambaṭṭu</hi> by <hi rend="bold">Vīrapratāpa-Bukka-mahārāyar</hi> (<hi rend="italic">of</hi> Vijayanagara), and the temple itself is said to have been consecrated one year before the date of the inscription in the <hi rend="italic">Pārthiva</hi> year, <hi rend="italic">i.e.</hi>, Śaka 1328 current. This date is puzzling, as it does not agree with other inscriptions, according to which <hi rend="bold">Bukka's</hi> son <hi rend="bold">Harihara</hi> II. was reigning in Śaka 1301 and 1321.<note>See Mr. Fleet in <hi rend="italic">Jour. Bo. Br. R. A. S</hi>., Vol. XII. p. 339.</note></p>
·
· <p>The cost of one half of the first village and of the second village as well as the total are given in <hi rend="italic">kuḷapramāṇas</hi> or <hi rend="italic">kuḷas</hi> of gold (<hi rend="italic">poṉ</hi>) and in <hi rend="italic">paṇas</hi>. In line 2 of the south wall another gold standard, called <hi rend="italic">kovai</hi>, seems to be mentioned. The numerous signs for fractions, which occur throughout the inscription, are palaeographically interesting.</p>
