¹ *Cf.* the transformation of the Eastern Chālukyas into Cholas from the time when Kulottuṅga I mounted the Chola throne. For the origin and meaning of the names Sātavāhana and Sātakarṇi see also *Camb. Hist. Ind.*, Vol. I. p. 599n; *JBORS.*, 1917, December, p. 442n; *IHQ.*, 1929, 388; 1933, 88, 256 and *JRAS.*, 1929, April; also *Bulletin of the School of Oriental Studies*, London, 1938, IX. 2. 327f. Both Barnett and Jayaswal connect them with the Sātiya-putas. Przyluski thinks that the names may have been Sanskritised from Austro-Asiatic terms signifying, "Son of horse." For other interpretations see Aravamuthan, *the Kaveri, the Maukharis*, p. 51n. (*karṇi* = ship; *Vāhana* = Oar or Sail); Dikshitar, *Indian Culture*, II, 549ff.
