Of the time of Śanta or Śantivarman, whose wife was Chandikabbe, we have one record,—a stone inscription at Saundatti.⁷ It describes him as a *Mahāsāmanta*, feudatory to the Western Chālukya king Taila II., and as making a grant to a Jain temple which he had had built at Saundatti. And it furnishes for him the date of the winter solstice in the month Pausha, falling in December, A. D. 980, of the Vikrama *saṃvatsara*, *Śaka-Saṃvat* 902 (expired).
