Ant.\* Vol. VI. p. 363, text lines 3 and 4; for a lithograph, see Vol. X. p. 58).—The next form is 'Chalikya,' with the Dravidian \*l\*, in the Mahâkûta pillar-inscription of Mangalêsa, of A.D. 602 (\*id.\* Vol. XIX. p. 16, text line 2).—Next comes 'Chalikya,' with the ordinary \*l\*, in the Nerûr grant of Mangalêsa (\*id.\* Vol. VII. p. 162, text line 2; for other instances, see \*id.\* Vol. VI. p. 73, Vol. XIX. p. 309, Vol. IX. pp. 127, 130, and \*Jour. Bo. Br. R. As. Soc.\* Vol. XVI, pp. 2, 235, where \*le\* was formed by mistake for \*li\*, and 238).—And then comes 'Chalukya' (which was finally adopted, and occurs most frequently), in the Aihole inscription of the time of Pulikêsin II., dated in A.D. 634-35 (\*Ind. Ant.\* Vol. VIII. p. 241, text lines 1 and 3; for other instances, see \*id.\* Vol. VII. pp. 163, 301, Vol. VIII. p. 46, Vol. IX. pp. 124, 133, Vol. XIX. p. 149, and \*Jour. Bo. Br. R. As. Soc.\* Vol. XVI. pp. 234, 243). In the grant of Kîrtivarman II., of A.D. 757, Mr. Rice's published reading gives 'Chau-lukya' (\*Ind. Ant.\* Vol. VIII. p. 26, line 4); but there also, as the lithograph shews, the original distinctly has 'Chalukya.'—For the variants of the family name in the Eastern Chalukya records, see \*Ind. Ant.\* Vol. XX. p. 95, note 10.—In line 34 of the Nausâri - [Previous: c8.s12.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.9) - [Next: c8.s12.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.12) - [Up: c8.s12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.10) · Pramāṇa
