Another inscription, of the tenth year of the same ruler, who is also called ‘Guttiya-Gaṅga,’ is dated October 25 of this year. Its wording is interesting. It represents him as governing the Gaṅgavāḍi 96,000 country after ‘having extracted the thorns from it’, i.e., after having crushed all opposition. The date being in his tenth year, it makes his accession as in the year following October 25, A.D. 961. (E. C. iv. Ch. 9; Ng. 51.)
