¹ Ellis, Mirasi Right, App. p. xviii (1818 ed.). ² The inscriptions on which Ellis based his remarks as regards Vijayanagara are these: That which referring to the reign of Immaḍi Sadāśiva Rāya begins with a Jaina invocation, deals with the consecration of the image of Gōmaṭa by Chāmuṇḍa Rāya, refers us to the events of the Vijayanagara king Immaḍi Sadāśiva Rāya and is dated Sālivāhana 927! Ins. No. II. Another inscription (No. III.) speaks of Virūpāksha Pratāpa Bukka Rāyulu in S. 1109! A third one (No. I) is dated S. 1339 and deals with the reign of Dēva Rāya. This last one smacks of some authenticity but it has to be referred to the reign of Vira Vijaya, since it cannot be made to reconcile with the known dates either of Dēva Rāya I, or of Dēva Rāya II.
