D. 1125-26 was ruling the Koṅkaṇa nine-hundred, the Pâḷasige twelve-thousand, the Payve or Hayve five-hundred, and the Kavadidvîpa lâkh-and-a-quarter. One of the most interesting of the records is the Dambal inscription of A. D. 1095,¹ which records grants made to vihâras of Buddha and Ârya-Târâdêvî at that town, and thus shews that Buddhism still held a place in the Kanarese country as late as the end of the eleventh century A. D. A record of A. D. 1088-89 speaks of Vikramâditya VI. crossing the Narmadâ, and conquering kings on the other side of that river.² And another, of A. D. 1098,³ shews that then again he was in the northern part of the kingdom, on the banks of the Narmadâ.
