Architectural Remains.

of not less than 40 feet at the principal Bund, which is placed be- 

 tween two rocky hills, and which is very carefully revetted on both 

 sides and at top with large blocks of hornstone. The Inscription 

 Stone is placed on this Bund. It is 10 feet high. On the top is 

 a sculpture, apparently a copy of a seal, below which the inscrip- 

 tion is cut ; this stone is of a soft description, and the inscription 

 (a translation of which follows), is almost obliterated. 



Translation. 



In the reign of the Raja Maharajadi Raja Parameswara Sri 

 Krishna Devaraya Maharaja, an energetic, courageous, and virtu- 

 ous King, one Rayasam by name Konda Murusugaru ; for the sake 

 of charity to his father Timmarsu and his mother Sangayemma, 

 founded this called Anantasagaram Tank on the 15th of Jeshta 

 of the year Vikrama of the Era of Salivahana 1443, corresponding 

 to the year 1522 of the Christian Era. 



This has been copied as correctly as the appearance of the letters 

 admits. In some places the letters were almost entirely erased.

This also is a very fine Tank. The Inscription Stone is small 

 and certainly appears to have been fixed on the Bund at a much 

 later date than the year mentioned in the inscription ; the follow- 

 ing is a translation of its record ,

 Krishna Devaraya Maharaja, an energetic, courageous and virtu- 

 ous King, one Rayasam by name Konda Murusugaru, for the sake

 Mallamma on its Bund, with the construction of Temple for her,
