 1287—8 ^^^^ '^^^ P'halgiini-suddho.-paurnami ; the inscrip-

* " Secret offerings"— I 'postpone a remark on what I suppose to be the meaning of 

 this term. 



t The tax is termed Sittaya-varai. It denotes a sort of " Peter-pence," distinct from 

 the Government tax, for ordinary purposes ; for example, if out of 100 Rupees, the Go- 

 Ternment tax be one Rupee then the Sittaya-varai may be one anna : not entered on the 

 Government account but carried to the benefit of the fane to which it was given.
