Dear Colleagues,

if anyone has access to the Journal of the Historical Society of Bombay, I would be very happy if you could check volume 2 page 214, and if there is an article reporting or editing a copper plate of a Yuvarāja Satyāśraya of the Kalyāṇa Cālukya dynasty, then scan or photograph that for me.

The reference is from Sheldon Pollock's Language of the Gods in the World of men (p154 fn 78). The correct title of the journal may rather be Journal of the Bombay Historical Society, and the year is probably 1928. A volume with these data is known to Google Books (https://books.google.de/books?redir_esc=y&hl=de&id=NHUZAAAAMAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=saty%C4%81%C5%9Braya) and gives several hits for the search term Satyāśraya, but no preview is available.

Pollock assumes that this grant is by Satyāśraya I̱rivabeḍaṅga from the end of the 10th century, but he says the same of another grant (ed. Fleet, IA 14 p140ff), which was (if genuine at all) issued by a Vīra-Satyāśraya, son of Govindarāya (claiming to be mahārājādhirāja-parameśvara-paramabhaṭṭāraka), and which Fleet says cannot be earlier than the 12th century.

With many thanks and best wishes for the new year,

Daniel
