A *virgal* from Dasarhalli in Bangalore district (61) refers to Indra as the ruler of the place. If we assume with Rice that the probable date of this record, which is not dated, is about 980 A.D., then it will follow that Indra continued to hold some authority for a couple of years. But the effort to reinstate Indra IV soon failed; his maternal uncle Mārasimha died by the Sallekhanā vow before August 975 A.D.; and we find Indra IV doing the same on the 20th March 982 A.D.
