² Fleet, *I. A.*, X, p. 65. Here it is not the skill of one man " named Mangada Timmoju Kondoja of the town of Badavi", that is spoken of, as Heras writes (*Aravidu*, pp. 48-9), but the work of three barbers that is to be noted. The Bādāmi inscription clearly says *ivaru mūvaru rāyara* etc. Manggalla Timmōja seems to have been the barber of Rāma Rāja. See *A. S. R.* for 1908-9, p. 198, n (5). We cannot determine whether that Manggalla Timmōja was the same Timmōja-Koṇḍōja of Mk. 6 given above. See also Butterworth-Chetty, *Nellore Ins.*, II, pp. 664-6.
