³ As used in this and similar birudas, aṅka seems,—as the Kanarese affix kâra is used,—to be intended to be applied in its meaning of 'a military show, or sham-fight; war, battle.' But aṅkakâra may also represent the Sanskrit aṅkakâra, 'an arithmetician'; and there may be some such implication as that by which the prefix of the name of the Eastern Chalukya king Guṇaka-Vijayâditya III. is explained by the statement (see Ind. Ant. Vol. XX. p. 102) that he was "a thorough arithmetician (aṅkakâraḥ)."
