⁵ This place was identified by Mr. Rice (Mysore Inscriptions, p. xxxix.) with the well-known Uchchaśringî in the Bellary District, Madras Presidency, in lat. 14° 34', long. 76° 7', about eleven miles to the north-east from Dâvangere in Mysore. About fifty miles to the east by north from this place, however, in lat. 14° 45', long. 76° 51', there is another Uchchaśringî, three miles to the east of Molkâlmuru, in the Doddêri tâluka of the Chitaldurg District, Mysore. A Kadamba inscription or legend is connected with this place. And Mr. Rice (see his note on "the Edicts of Aśoka in Mysore") seems now more inclined to think that this may be the ancient Uchchaśringî.—A record of A. D. 1170 at Harihar (P. S. and O.-C. Insers. No. 118; Mysore Inscriptions, p. 51) gives to the later Kâdamba Kêtarasa the hereditary title of "lord of Uchchaśringî."
