Report on the Mackenzie Mamiscripts, 



[Jan. 



Note.— This paper being much damaged by insects, and damp, has 

 been restored: and it merits full translation, as a valuable document, re- 

 lative to the Oijisala kings. 



Section 9. Account of Ccpam in Bidanur, 



A reference to the anger of Siva in consequence of the self immola- 

 tion of his wife, at the sacrifice of Dacsha ; the place, receiving its 

 name from that circumstance, as if it had occurred thsre. A Saim 

 named C6pa, built there a hut ; and afterwards Jina Danda-raja made 

 it a metropolis, building a fort there. Having no offspring he gave it 

 to a Brahman. Slva'danda-nayali, afterwards ruled. A few other 

 names are mentioned ; who, by their cognomens, would seem to have 

 been Brahnans. 



Note. — The document is much damaged ; and, as it may have some 

 historical value, it has been restored. 



Sectio?i 10. Account of the Cdveri, in the Cannaha district. 



The account of the Caveri is only promised, but not given. It is 

 little better than the legend of a fane ; chiefly having reference to a 

 leprous king, who, it may be anticipated, was to lose his disease by 

 bathing in the Caveri; but the document is unfinished, and appears to be 

 of no importance. 



Mahratta Bakheer, No. 23, a roll of paper. 



This document is incomplete, both at the beginning, and the end. 

 From the remaining middle portion of the fragment it is found to relate 

 to revenue, and other, details of the Peishwah. His treasurer had made 

 false accounts ; and, these being detected, he was summoned to follow 

 the Peishwah to a place whither the latter annually went on pilgrimage. 

 The treasurer did not do so ; and forcible measures were resorted to, 

 in order to compel his attendance. There are further some details of 

 marches, and mention of some towns, or places, taken. 



The document is damaged by insects and damp ; but as being a mere 

 fragment, and without matter of permanent interest, its restoration has 

 not been deemed requisite.
