² At the temple of Pârśvanâtha (Carn.-Désa Inscrs. Vol. II. p. 16; the second part of the record).—The details of the date will not work out correctly (see the next note). This, however, does not necessarily disqualify the record. And, in the year, there is nothing inconsistent with the known limit for the date of Taila III. (see further on). But I cannot help looking on the name of the capital, given in the transcript, with some distrust. It, is not apparent why, at a time when much, at any rate, of the intervening territory had been appropriated by Bijjala, Banavâsi should be mentioned as the capital in connection with a grant made in a village so far away as the neighbourhood of Kalburigi. And, on the other hand, the indications are that Bijjala established himself at Banavâsi, and gradually pushed Taila’s power away to the north and east. I much suspect that the Jayantîpurada nelevîḍinol of the transcript is a mislection of words which give the name of some bîḍu or temporary camp in the vicinity of Harasûr.
