Of the time of Khoṭṭiga, we have one published record.³ It is a stone inscription at Adaraguñchî in the Dhârwâr District,⁴ which refers to certain private grants that were made while his feudatory, Permânaḍi-Mârasimha,—i.e. the Western Gaṅga prince Mârasimha, who has been mentioned above in connection with Kṛishṇa III.,—was governing the Gaṅgavâḍi ninety-six-thousand, the Purigere three-hundred, and the Beḷvola three-hundred. The grants were made on the occasion of an eclipse of the sun on Sunday, the new-moon day of the month Āśvayuja of the Prajāpati *saṃvatsara*, Śaka-Saṃvat 893 (expired); and the corresponding English date is Sunday, 22nd October, A.D. 971: on this day there was an annular eclipse of the sun, which was visible right across India.¹
