394 Report on the Mackenzie Manuscripts. [Oct. 



another copy of that work. By means of it I have been enabled to com- 

 plete the restoration of the larger lacune in the Carnataca rajakal, 

 which is now complete, with the exception of only one palm-leaf, not 

 recovered. 



Noie. — The leaves, and writing, are recent in appearance; a little 

 injured by insects, which is of no consequence, as the work is otherwise 

 nearl) complete. 



4. Mahraltiya rajalal, Tvluva rajakal, kyfeyutt; or account of the 

 Mahratta, and Tuluva kings, No. 235 — Countermark, wanting. 



The manuscript has not the beginning : since according to the 

 numV.er of the palm leaves, 26 are wanting; the eight following ones 

 down to 34 are regular; but the whole is a mere fragment. The 27th 

 alludes to kings of the Cali-yuga, it contains the mention of Hara- 

 Pratdpa-dcva rayer, and hi? descent is deduced from Janamejaya. The 

 manuscript has a discrimination of the five countries, and languages, 

 comprised under the term Pancha-Drdvidam. From Ramemram and 

 Malayalam to Calahastri is the Tamil Dravidam. From Calahastri to 

 Ganjam is the Tel'mga Dravidam. From Mysore to Golconda is the 

 Carnataca Dravidam. From Golconda, to Puna, Sattara, &c. is the 

 Mahrasht'ira Dravidam. From Sattara and Puna, to the southward of 

 Delhi is the Guzeratii Dravidam. The five Gaudas are then defined. 

 Mention of the race of Janamejaya down to Sararigad'hara the last of 

 that dynasty. Four names are given as the dynasty of the mantri, or 

 minister, of Vicramaditya. There is then a mention of some kings of 

 the solar line: with the name of Vicrama at the close; apparantly 

 meant for Vicramaditya. Sdlivdhana is next mentioned, with an interval 

 of more than 2000 years; not accounted for in the dates. Bhoja raja. 

 Transition to Cari-Cala-Cholan, and his works on the Caveri. Other 

 Chola rajas; one of whom is said to have ruled as far as to Ougein. 

 Special notice is taken of Rajendra's endowment at Tiru-ottiyr. He 

 is slso represented as having patronized Tamil literature : contrary to 

 other documents he is represented as the father of Adondai. However 

 both Rajendra and Kulottunya (elsew here termed father of Adondai) 

 are both titular names. Sundara-Chola is the last one mentioned. 



Remark. — This manuscript I also find to be a fragment of the Carnala- 

 ca-rajakal, and it is of no consequence ; as that portion is complete in 

 the restored copy. What remains of this fragment is damaged. The<v ^^I A " 

 does not bear all the usual marks But from the consecutive Nos. 234 

 and 235, and the title taken together, I conclude that these two copies
