⟨SIIv09p0i0006⟩ No. 6. (A.R. No. 327 of 1912.) ON A SLAB SET UP IN A FIELD AT KARSHANAPALLE, SAME ZAMINDARI AND DISTRICT.

This is not dated and refers itself to the reign of the Bāṇa king Bāṇarasa, who was also in charge of the Gaṅga six-thousand province when Ballaha i.e., the Rāshṭrakūṭa king led a campaign against Kāḍuveṭṭi, for not paying tribute. On this occasion a certain servant of Bānataṭṭaran, himself a servant of Vijayitta, while returning on a horse near Kuntiāla, died after slaying Gaṇamūrti. Since the characters of the record are of the 9th century A.D. it may be assigned to the time of Vijayāditya II.

This is damaged and not dated. It refers itself to the reign of the Vaidumba-Mahārāja Gaṇḍatriṇētra. It records the death of Maruvaka, sūramā®paḻi-Rakkasa Manujaradēva, son of Bālūchchoraṇi who was ruling over Sūramāṟaveḷi, in the attack made by Bāṇarasa and others on the Sōremaḍi fort against Noḻambi, Daḍiga, Rāchamalla and Maydāḍi.

This is undated and a little damaged. It refers itself to the reign of the Vaidumba king Gaṇḍatriṇētra and states that when Mahārāja and Bāṇarasa attacked Sōramaḍi fort, Noḻambi, Daḍiga, Rāchamalla and Mayindaḍi who fought against them were overthrown and that a hero died in the battle. Evidently this refers to the same event as the one mentioned in the preceding inscription.

This undated record refers itself to the reign of the Noḻamba-Pallava king Vīra-Nombādhirāja, who is stated to have bestowed on Ajjaparvara Bhidiyeṟeya a bracelet and called him Noḻambadoḍḍa, at the time of the construction of the Beddugonde tank. Another bracelet was bestowed on him by Śrīmu[kha*]rāma who called him Śrīmukadoḍḍa and a third bracelet was presented to him by Siṅgapōtarasa, Ponnēṟarasa and Dharmamahādēvī who called him Ponnēradoḍḍa. Noḻambadoḍḍa and others built a temple for the god Mahādēva. Since the inscription belongs palaeographically to the 9th century A.D. the king referred to here was probably Poḻalchōṟa-Nombādhirāja I.

⟨SIIv09p0i0020⟩ No. 20. (A.R. No. 306 of 1912.) ON A SLAB IN A FIELD AT KALAKATTUR, PUNGANUR ZAMINDARI, CHITTOOR DISTRICT.

This is not dated; it refers itself to the reign of the Noḻamba-Pallava king Noḻambadiyarasa, who is stated to have been ruling over the Gaṅga six-thousand province and to have marched on Taḻekāḍu. Under the orders of the Gaṅga king Permānadi, a certain Mahārāja is said to have attacked Pulināḍu. In the battle that ensued the village of Permāvi was burnt by Kāḍuvaṭṭi and Mṛiḍuva. On hearing this, Vīrachūḷāmaṇi (probably the Bāṇa king) fought with their army and overthrew it: when there was a hue and cry caused by some Nāyakas opposing Vīrachūdāmaṇi, a ⟨Page 10⟩ certain Tējamāni was slain. The (Noḻamba) king honoured the dead warrior by granting to his family a kalnāḍu called “Elemaṇḍala”. Since the palaeography of the record points to 9th century A.D. as its period the Noḻambadivarasa of the inscription may be identical with Mahēndra I.

This undated record registers that, in the reign of the Noḻamba-Pallava king Ayyapadēva, Chōrayya, son of Śrīpurusayya, and the Gāmuṇḍas and Pannasigas of Eraḍumura obtained the bittuvāṭa from the king for the upkeep of the tank. Ponnayya, the Perggaḍe of Chōrayya wrote this and Duggāchāri engraved.

This is damaged and dated Śaka 845 (= A.D. 923-24) with no further details. It seems to refer itself to the reign of a Noḻamba-Pallava chief (name lost) and mentions the death of Eḍeyamma, son of Haritta, after a brave fight against Sēvuṇa's army, so as to bring tears to all. Rācha's son Aṇuga set up the stone.

⟨SIIv09p0i0023⟩ No. 23. (A.R. No. 198 of 1910.) ON A PILLAR LYING IN THE TALUK OFFICE COMPOUND AT DHARMAPURI, DHARMAPURI TALUK, SALEM DISTRICT.

This record is dated Śaka 851, Virōdhin, Māgha, navamī, Vaḍḍavāra, Mūlānakshatra and Siddha-yōga, corresponding to 1A.D. 929 February 5, Thursday; f.d.t. 20; f.d.n. ·95. It refers itself to the reign of the Noḻamba-Pallava king Iruḷachōra. Noḻamba-Mahēndra is said to have been the son of Noḻambādhirāja and Jāyabbe, daughter of the Gaṅga king Rāchamalla-Permānaḍi. The record gives the genealogy of the Noḻamba dynasty from Mahēndra down to Iṟuḷachōra. It is incomplete and mentions a certain Māṅgabbe-Kanti and Tagaḍūru (modern Dharmapuri).

This is dated Śaka 858, Durmukha, Āshāḍha, ba. 5, Vaḍḍavāra. The date seems to be irregular. Āshāḍha ba. 5 of Durmukha corresponded to A.D. 936 July 11, Monday, not Vaḍḍavāra (Thursday or Saturday). The record refers itself to the reign of Bīra-Noḻamba Aṇṇayyadēva of the Noḻamba-Pallava dynasty and records that the king's Mahāsāmantādhipati, the learned Varuṇaśiva-Bhaṭāra, who was in charge of the Noḻambēśvarada-sthāna, together with some Gāvuṇḍas and others, made a grant of land for the upkeep of the tank.

This is dated Śaka 949, Prabhava, Chaitra, śu. 1, Bṛihaspativāra. In Prabhava= Śaka 949 expired, Chaitra Śu. 1 fell on Sunday, not Thursday as stated. But in the next year i.e. Vibhava the tithi cited did fall on Thursday = 29th February A.D. 1028; this was probably the date intended. The record refers itself to the reign of the Noḻamba-Pallava king, Jagadēkamalla-Noḻambapallava-Permānaḍidēva ruling from Vipranārāyaṇa. A certain Sahale-Gavuḍa is said to have made a grant of some land for the service of the god Mahādēva at Chihanapaṭṭi. The record is damaged at the end.

This is not dated; it belongs to the reign of the Chālukya king Satyāśraya whose proper name appears to be Eṟeyitiyaḍigaḷ. It registers the grant of the village Eḻpattu Siṁbhige, made tax-free, by Eṟetiyaḍigaḷ after his subdugation of Raṇavikrama, probably a Bāṇa king. It also registers the grant of the village Nāḍanūru, with the consent of the Bāṇa king. The engraver Mahēndrapallavāchāri was granted 12 mattars of land at Nāḍanūru by the Mahājanas. If Eṟeyatiyaḍigaḷ stands for Eṟeya which was a name of Pulakēsin II this record may have to be assigned to the reign of that king.

⟨SIIv09p0i0088⟩ No. 88. (A.R. No. 518 of 1914.) ON A SLAB SET UP IN THE ANJANEYA TEMPLE AT CHIMNAHALLI, HADAGALLI TALUK, SAME DISTRICT.

This is a little damaged and dated Śaka 956, Śukla, Pushya, śu. 5, Ādivāra, Uttarāyaṇa-saṅkrānti. The date is irregular. Śaka 956, which is clear on the impression, was Bhāva = A.D. 1034-35. The record refers-itself to the reign of the Chālukya king Jagadēkamalladēva and mentions his feudatory Jagadēkamalla-Noḷambapallava-Permānaḍi as ruling Kadaṁbaḷige thousand, Kōgaḷi five-hundred, Ballakunde three-hundred, Kudiharadi seventy and Kariviḍi thirty. It records that the Manevergaḍe Kētaya-Nāyaka, ruling over Nelkudure, made a grant of some plots of land and some contributon of grains per year for the service of the god Kalidēva. The characters of the record are of a period much later than the one to which it purports to belong. ⟨Page 59⟩
