¹ Koṇārak = *Koṇa* + *arka*, i. e. the sun (*arka*) of Koṇakoṇa, the name of the place. The date, which Fergusson hesitated to accept, has been definitely settled by copper-plate inscriptions. See *Ann. Rep. A. S., India*, 1902–3, pp. 46–50; ibid., 1903–4, pp. 46–8; *Progr. Rep. E. Circle*, 1908–9, p. 18. I agree with Dr. Burgess in thinking that mistakes were made in the work done by the Archaeological Survey at Koṇārak.
