year of accession of the first Bukka. Horace H. Wilson fixes 

 it, according to manuscript records, at 1313 A.D. or 1235 S.S., 

 the Kyf eat mentions 1236 S.S., Campbell gives 1272 8.8. or 

 1350 A.D., Buchanan dates it in one place 9 from 1295 S.S. 

 or 1372-73 A.D., while in another place 10 it must be 1217 

 A.D., as, according to the text, 293years have elapsed between 

 1510 A.D. and the accession of Bukka. This latter instance 

 is a clear proof in favor of our conjecture respecting the mode 

 of fixing the dates of the reigns, as the Permatur (properly 

 &ri Perumbudur) list contains no dates, but only gives the 

 length of the reigns. 



The inscriptions, on the other hand, fix \ .he reign of Bukka 

 between 1350-80. 



Below we now arrange side by side, for the sake of com- 

 parison, some of the most important lists of the kings of Vija- 

 yanagaram : —

10 See ibidem, p. 535. "Wilson's Descriptive Catalogue I, p. 289, remarks 

 " The Permatur list makes the first date A.D. 1215." 



11 In Buchanan's list Vijaya is evidently by mistake placed before Hari- 

 hara. 



12 Buchanan has Casi Deva ; Local Records, Vol. LI, p. 230, in the Macken- 

 zie Collection reads Kassideva Q^m\ otherwise it agrees throughout 

 with "Wilson ; and the Kyfeat has Gabhya Deva.
