SII 17.51: original edition by K. G. Krishnan

Alternative title: “No. 51. (A.R. No. 49 of 1904). KUḌATINI, BELLARY TALUK, BELLARY DISTRICT.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: On a fragment of a slab built into the west wall of the maṇḍapa in front of the Kumārasvāmin temple.

981 A.D.

This is dated Śaka 903, Vṛisha, Chaitra, śu. 5, Thursday, Pushya nakshatram and Bālava karaṇa. If the tithi śu. 5 is a mistake for śu. 9, the details correspond to 981 A.D., March 17.

The record seems to register some gift of land for the repairs and whitewash to a temple (name lost). It is badly damaged.

Language: Kannada (kan) [Kannada (kannada)].

Repository: South Indian Inscriptions (Original Edition) (south-indian-inscriptions).

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv17p0i0051.
