Ancient History of the Deccan c3.s5.22

c3.s5.22

dated in the 8th year of king Mâdhariputa Svâmi whose name is followed by another not very legible which Mr. D. R. Bhandarkar (Ind. Ant. Vol XLVII, Part DXCVI, June 1918) has read Sri Sâta. The alphabet of this inscription (as well as of another, No. 1002) seems to show that this king reigned before Yajña Śri. If this palæographical indication and the list given in the Matsya are correct, this Mâdhariputra can be no other than Śivaskanda.
