93 



A reference follows to a Jaina fane; also to discussions between the 

 Baudhas and Jainus, as a consequence of which the former were sent 

 away to Ceylon, and the Jainas afterwards had an ascendancy. Some 

 names of their rulers, or chiefs, are mentioned. 



Section 2. Account of Merirvea a village. 



Anciently said to have been termed Mitfhila; but dated as to its real 

 origin, in the time of Vishnu Verddhana. The Mayers of the Vijayanaga- 

 ram, and the chola rajas, are adverted to; in reference to fanes and 

 their allowances. 



Section 3. Account of Ani-Kannanam padi. 



There are details in this section as to fanes, &c, with the connected 

 mention of some names and dates ; but the whole is of slight consequence. 

 Section 4. Account of Terumalu-codu-\\\\^e. 



The most extravagant liberty is taken with legendary names in refer- 

 ence to the establishment of a fane of Chamunda, a form of Durga; but 

 there is nothing of the slightest value. 



Section 5. Account of the Sosala agraharam. 



Nothing in this section, except legendary details; with some names 

 and dates of small importances. 



Section 6. Account of So?nanat'ha pur am. 



Merely a notice of an agraharam, or alms-house; with mention of some 

 grants recorded by inscriptions. 



Section 7. Account of an alms-house at Talcad. 



As in the last a mention of grants with some names and dates. The 

 local position of Talcad, is a point of consequence. 

 Section 8. Account of Talcad-rajas. 



This section is of greater consequence. The locality is of some histori- 

 cal antiquity ; and the list of kings, including the Mysore rulers, may 

 merit reference, in comparison with other documents. See the published 

 translation of the congu desa rajakal. 



Section 9. Account of Naga mangala. 



A notice of a fane, the image of which was dug out of an ant-hill that 

 had become a snake hole : the details of the fane and its connected mat- 

 ters, are of no consequence. 



Eemaek. — The condition of this book is moderately good : it will con- 

 tinue legible, with care, for some time. The 8th Section is the only one 

 of much consequence. —
