1903.] M. Chakravarti —Eastern Gayga kings of Orissa. Ill 
Science is represented by Bhasvati , a manual of rules for determin¬ 
ing the position of the heavenly bodies, according to Surya-siddhanta. 
The work was composed in paka 1021 (A.D. 1099-1100) by Satananda, 
son of paqkara and Sarasvati. He was of Purusottama (i.e. Puri), and 
according to the commentators he based his calculations on the meridian 
of this town. 
The extremely long rule of Coragaijga (72nd year) is unprece¬ 
dented in the annals of Orissa, and, I suppose, stands unique in Indian 
history too. Presumably he was over ninety at the time of his death. 
Traces of his name may still be found in Churagga-sahi, a quarter 
in Puri town; in Churnrjga pokhri, a tank about six miles S. W. of 
Cuttack town ; in Saranga-garh, a fort, the remains of which are still 
visible on the Madras Trunk Road close to Barang Railway Station ; 
and in the temple of Gaggegyara, town Jajapura, District Cuttack.
