The Historical Inscriptions of Southern India (collected till 1923) and Outlines of Political History c5.1

c5.1

(i) Inscriptions which are undated and those which mention only the regnal year of the ruler are generally omitted in this work unless they possess some independent historical value, in which case they are gone into. Records of the former class may prove misleading in cases where the ruler named belongs to a dynasty in which there was more than one member who bore the same name. Students who wish to examine all known records of a particular prince can refer to the voluminous Index attached to vol. III of V. Rangachārya’s valuable work, ‘Inscriptions of the Madras Presidency’ (1919), and, for years since the publication of those volumes, to the annual reports of the Epigraphical Department of the Archæological Survey of South India.
