A JOURNEY FROM MADRAS THROUGH
CHAPTER o-ods
Feb. 27-
Account of a
Bahudunda,
or register,
kept by the
hereditary
accomptant.
The names do the same; for Sankara is one of the titles of
Siva and Narayana one of the names of Vishnu.
The next most ancient inscription that I foupd here was, like the
others, in a private house, and exceedingly neglected. It is dated
Anunda 1297, Friday 1st Palguna, in the reign of Sri Vira Buca
Rdya, by the favour of the feet of Virupacsha Devaru (the Siva at
Humpay opposite to Vijaya-nagara) king of the east, west, and south
seas. This must be Buca Rdya the First, who would therefore
appear to have reigned at least two years later than the time
assigned for him by Ramuppa.
Another is dated in Sal. 1308, and contains a grant of revenue
for supporting an inn, by the son of Hari-hara Rdya; but his name
is effaced. A copy of this has been delivered to the Bengal govern-
ment.
The last that I visited is dated Suabanu Sal. 1472, on the 23d of
Srdvana. In this, Solva Krishna Devarasu JVodearu, son of Sedasiva
Rdya, and king of Nagara (Vijaya-nagara), Haiva, Tulava, Kankana,
&c. grants lands situated in the Ashtd-grdm of Sashisty district
(Desa), in Govay Rdyada (principality of Goa). Hence it will be
evident, that, while this powerful Hindu prince lived, the Adil Shah
Sultans of Vijaya-pura were very much confined in their territories
toward the south-west.
27th February.—It having been mentioned to me, that the books
of the hereditary Shanaboga here contained much curious informa-
tion, I determined to stay a day, and examine them. I found that
he had a Bahudunda of two volumes. The first commenced with
some verses on medicine. Then followed some rules for the per-
formance of the ceremonies of religion. Then came an old list of
the names of all the principal traders in Mirzee. They were 54 in
number; but the ants had eaten up the date. This was followed by
an old enumeration of the inhabitants of Mirzee district (Taluc),
then divided into three divisions (Maganas) Gaukarna, Nagara,
