Venkayya and I are of opinion that the Koḍumbāḷūr inscription of Bhūti Vikramakēsari must be dated in the tenth century a.d.; Father Heras proposes a date three centuries earlier. The arguments originally put forward by Venkayya, together with others drawn from Cōḷa inscriptions, have been summarized by me in my paper on the Koḍumbāḷūr inscription to which Fr. Heras has referred in his paper published in a recent issue of the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society (January, 1934, pp. 33 ff.). I propose here to examine the steps by which Fr. Heras reaches his conclusion.

page 477 note 2 I have with me photographs of several Cōḷa temples with vimānas like those of the Koḍumbāḷūr temples; they are not “without precedent and without consequent, totally unique in South Indian architecture” (Heras).

page 479 note 3 This identification is improbable. Inscriptions, M.E.R. 359 and 360 of 1921, show that this name was applied to Tiruvadi in South Arcot in the tenth and eleventh centuries. Pariya-bhūmaṇimangala is now read “Pariyala Maṇimangala” (Hultzsch). Apparently Fr. Heras has not noticed this.
