v1.c25.1
A number of inscriptions of Anantavarman Choḍagaṅga have been discovered during recent years but none of them seem to have been published in any recognised journal on Indology. Recently some of them have been published in a list of kings in connection with the title *Tri-Kaliṅgādhipati* by Mr. G. Ramadas, B.A., M.R.A.S. :
v1.c25.2
I. The Chikali plates of the same king, *i.e.*, Anantavarman Choḍagaṅga of the Śaka year 982=1060 A. D., published in the Telegu journal *Bharathi*, vol. II, part 2.
v1.c25.3
II. The Boddapadu plates of the same king of the Śaka year 982=1060 A. D. published in the Telegu journal *Bharathi*, vol. III, part 5.
v1.c25.4
III. The Korṇi plates of the same king of the Śaka year 1034=1112 A. D., published in the Telegu journal *Bharathi*, vol. II, part II.¹

v1.c25.6
These inscriptions are very important, as those dated 1060 A. D. must have been issued by Anantavarman Choḍagaṅga before he conquered Utkala or Northern Orissa and in the lifetime of his father Rājarāja I, because his own coronation took place in 1078 A. D. and his father was alive in 1075 A. D.²
