A.D. 635. October 31. Two grants of land on the same day by the E. Chālukya Vishṇuvardhana II, son according to one and nephew according to the other, of Jayasimha I, the occasion being a lunar eclipse in Kārttika in the third regnal year. It appears to me that this third year must be that of Jayasimha. No hint as to the year, either the cyclic year or that of any era, is given. But there was a lunar eclipse in Kārttika on October 31, A.D. 635, and this was Jayasimha's third year. Vishṇuvardhana's own third regnal year would be A.D. 665-66 and there was no eclipse in Kārttika in that year. The Epigraphist suggests that Vishṇuvardhana had been adopted as his son by Jayasimha.
