BOMBAY KARNATAK INSCRIPTIONS VOL. I, PART I.[= South Indian Inscriptions, Vol. 11, Part 1]

⟨SIIv11p0i0001⟩ No. 1. (B.K. No. 100 of 1928-29). BĀDĀMI, BADAMI TALUK, BIJAPUR DISTRICT. ON A ROCK BEHIND THE TEMPLE OF MALLIKĀRJUNADĒVA.

This inscription in Pallava-Grantha characters is much obliterated. Of the king's name, only the epithet or surname ‘Mahāmalla’ is preserved, and the record has to be assigned to king Narasiṁhavarman I of the Pallava dynasty of Kāñchī. It is dated in the 13th year of the king's reign. From the characters it may be ascribed to about the 7th century A.D. Bādāmi is herein mentioned under the ancient name of ‘Vātāpi.’ According to Dr. Fleet, the present inscription will have to be assigned to the end of the reign of Pulakēśin II. 1

(Published in Ind. Ant., Vol. IX, p 99. The revised text of the inscription is given below with a plate).

⟨SIIv11p0i0002⟩ No. 2. (B.K. No. 127 of 1926-27). KURTAKŌṬI, GADAG TALUK, DHARWAR DISTRICT. ON A SLAB SET UP BEHIND THE TEMPLE OF KALAMĒŚVARA.

This undated inscription belongs to the reign of the king Vijayāditya-Satyāśraya Pṛithvīvallabha, who bore also the titles: Mahārājādhirāja, Paramēśvara and Bhaṭāra. It refers to Lōketinimmaḍi 1who was governing over Kuṟuttakuṁṭe (i.e., the modern Kurtakōṭi), and Mupaṁṇa who built a big temple (mahādēgula) there and made a gift to it.

This damaged and undated inscription belongs to the reign of the king Vikramāditya-Bhaṭāra and mentions Ayyāvoḷe (i.e., the modern Aihoḷe). The writer was Chandradēva. In the absence of the date it is not possible to assign the epigraph definitely to Vikramāditya I or Vikramāditya II. Probably it belongs to the latter. ⟨Page 3⟩

The record belongs to the reign of king Kīrtivarman II and is dated in the 6th year of his reign. It commemorates the construction of a chēdiya (Jain temple) by Kaliyamma, the gāmuṇḍa of Jēbuḷagēri and the erection of a sculpture in front of it by Koṇḍiśulara Kuppa alias Kīrtivarma-gōsāsi. Regarding gōsāsi, see Ep. Ind. Vol. VI, p. 255.

The record is not dated. It refers itself to the reign of Prabhūtavarsha Jagattuṅga. These birudas or surnames were borne by three kings of the Rāshṭrakūṭa family, viz., Gōvinda II, Gōvinda III and Gōvinda IV. But since the characters are too early for the period of Gōvinda (IV), the inscription must be assigned either to the reign of Gōvinda II or of Gōvinda III, probably the latter. It records the gift of a gōsahasra, evidently at Beḷhoḍe.

The king's name which is damaged ends in varsha. Since the record is dated in Śaka 759 (= A.D. 837), it may be assigned to the reign of Amōghavarsha I (A.D. 814-15 to 877-78). It mentions a daughter (name 1lost) of the king who was perhaps the wife of Yeṟagaṅga who was ruling over the Eḍadoṟe and other districts.

The details of date given in ll. 1—4 and 23-24 are: Śaka 759 (expired), Jyēshṭha, ba. 14, Wednesday. The given tithi fell on Tuesday (not Wednesday), ·90. The date would correspond to A.D. 837, June 5, Tuesday. The cyclic year must be Piṅgaḷa.

The record belongs to the reign of Amōghavarsha I and is dated in Śaka 784, Chitrabhānu (= A.D. 862). It registers the gift of the village Pipparage (i.e., modern Hūvina-Hippargi) situated in the Kannavuri-vishaya to the astrologer Gōleya-Bhaṭṭa. The gift is stated to be a Raṭṭa-maḻtaṇḍa (mārtaṇḍa)-datti, 3thus supplying us with a hitherto unknown biruda of the king, viz., Raṭṭa-maḻtaṇḍa (Raṭṭa-mārtaṇḍa 4). ⟨Page 5⟩

This and the previous record appear to refer to the same gift. The genealogies of the king and the donee and the boundaries of the village granted, i.e., Pūvina-Pipparage are here given in detail. And the occasion for making the gift to Gōleya-Bhaṭṭa is stated to be the tulāpurusha ceremony performed by the king who is called Amōghavarsha and Nṛipatuṅga-Vallabha, at the time of a solar eclipse. The date of these two records would therefore be A.D. 862, August 28, Friday which was the day of the only solar eclipse in the year Chitrabhānu.

The inscription which is dated in Śaka 785, Tāraṇa (= A.D. 864) belongs to the reign of Amōghavarsha I. Since a larger portion of the record is seriously damaged, the contents cannot be properly made out. A grant of land seems to have been made to a hero named Chikaṇṇa. Incidentally the record refers to the observance of vratas and sanyāsana.

The inscription refers itself to the reign of Amōghavarsha I and is dated in Śaka [7]86 (= A.D. 865). It mentions Kuppeyarasa of the Yādava-vaṁśa. From the Soraṭūr inscription (Ep. Ind., Vol. XIII, p. 77) we know that he was ruling the Purigeṟe-nāḍu as a feudatory of the king. It is evident from the present record that ‘Ādava’ the family name of this chief occurring in the Soraṭūr epigraph is only a corruption of ‘Yādava’.

The record refers itself to the reign of Amōghavarsha I and is dated in Śaka 788, Sarvajit (= A.D. 867-868). It registers a remission of taxes on ghee in favour of the Fifty (gāvuṇḍas) of Saraṭapura made by Mahāsāmanta Āhavāditya Kuppeyarasa of the Yādava-vaṁśa (see No. 11 above) and a gift of ghee made by the (Community of) Five Hundred. At the time of the grant, Kuppeyarasa was governing the Purigeṟenāḍu.

The inscription is dated in Śaka, 791 [Virōdhi], Vaiśākha, śu. puṇṇame, lunar eclipse (= A.D. 869, April 29, Friday) and refers itself to the reign of Nṛipatuṅga Amōghavarsha I.

The record which is dated in Śaka 793, Khara, Phālguṇa, śu. (mistake for ba.) 1 Wednesday (mistake for Friday), Hasta (= A.D. 872, February 29, day following a lunar eclipse) refers itself to the reign of Amōghavarsha I. Dēvaṇayya, the Governor of Beḷvola Three Hundred, is stated to have exempted the Fifty Mahājanas of Sisuḷahāḻu from taxes on ghee. The Mahājanas are described as being equal to Brahmā in Śruti, Smṛiti, Vyākaraṇa, Kāvya, Nāṭikā, Tarka and Āgama and are stated to have obtained the village as a gift during the Chāḷukya times (Saḷuki-rājya).

It registers gift of a gōsāsa by Māsigara-Chidaṇṇa in the presence of the assembly of the Fifty (Mahājanas) of Saraṭavura.

It states ⟨Page 13⟩ that a hero named Kaligaḷḷa died in a battle when Maṅgatōraṇa was governing Beḷvola-nāḍu and a lady, probably his wife, set up the monument. The attack of Baṭṭakeṟe (i.e., modern Beṭigēri) by a certain Nāgadhōra seems to have been the cause of the fight.

This record which is engraved in characters of the 11th century A.D. bears the dated Śaka 818, Naḷa, Kārttika, śu. 5, Monday (= A.D. 897, October 3, Monday) and purports to belong to the reign of Akāḷavarsha (i.e., Kṛishṇa II). A Mahāsāmanta (name lost) of the Yādava-vaṁśa who was, at the time, governing Kōgaḷi Five Hundred and Māseyavāḍi One Hundred and Forty, is stated to have constructed at the capital town of Meḻiviḍu, a temple, probably of Kōyagēśvara, and to have granted land for the same to Vēdavāhana-Bhaṭṭāraka. The chief bears all the titles of Kuppeyarasa of the same family, who was a subordinate of Amōghavarsha I (see No. 12 above). Meḻiviḍu is evidently the modern Mēvuṇḍi where the inscription is found.

This incomplete inscription which is dated in Śaka 823, Durmati (= A.D. 901) belongs to the reign of Akālavarsha (i.e., Kṛishṇa II) and mentions his subordinate Mahā-Śrīmanta as ruling over the Beḷvala Three Hundred province. This chief is identical with Mahā-Sirivanta of the Veṅkaṭāpūr inscription dated in Śaka 828 (= A.D. 907) (No. 28 below). ⟨Page 16⟩

The inscription is dated in Śaka [8]22 (mistake for 824), Dundubhi, Māgha, śu. 5. Thursday, Uttarāshāḍha, siddhi-yōga (= A.D. 903, January 6, Thursday) and belongs to the reign of [Akāla]varshadēva (i.e., Kṛishṇa II). It records the installation of a god (name lost) and a grant of land to the same.

The record is dated in Śaka 8[2]5, Raktākshin, solar eclipse and refers itself to the reign of Kannara (i.e., Kṛishṇa II). It seems to register a gift of tolls made to a temple while Vatsayya was holding charge of the suṁka of Beḷvola Three Hundred. The village Chiṁchila is mentioned.

The English equivalent of the date would be A.D., 904, November 10, Saturday, on which day there was a solar eclipse. Raktākshin, however, corresponded to Śaka 826.

The inscription 6professes to belong to king Amōghavarsha. It registers a gift of land made to Chandratēja-Bhaṭāra, disciple of Mallikārjuna-Bhaṭāra, while Mahā-Sirivanta was governing Beḷvola Three Hundred and Māyirmma was administering Muḷgunda Twelve. ⟨Page 17⟩

The record is dated in Śaka 828, Prabhava, Kārtika, ba. 10, Wednesday. In Prabhava which corresponded to Śaka 829, Kārtika, ba. 10 fell on Tuesday, 3rd November, A.D. 907. Since the date falls in the reign of Kṛishṇa II, the biruda Amōgavarsha of the inscription appears to be a mistake for Akālavarsha.

The inscription which is dated in Śaka 834, Śrīmukha, Jyēshṭha, ba. 2, Thursday, Uttarāshāḍha (= Probably A.D. 912, June 4, Thursday) refers itself to the reign of Akālavarsha (i.e., Kṛishṇa II). Śrīmukha is probably quoted by mistake for Āṅgirasa. The record which is much damaged seems to record a gift of gōsāsa.

This damaged inscription is written in characters of about the 12th century A.D. and purports to belong to the reign of [A*]kālavarsha Kṛishṇa Kannaradēva (Kṛishṇa II ?). It seems to register a grant of land made to the temple of Kuppēśvara on the occasion of the Uttarāya[ṇa-saṅkrānti], while Kuppadēvarasa of the Yādava-vaṁśa was governing Puligeṟe Three Hundred, Kōgaḷi Five Hundred and Māsavāḍi One Hundred and Forty. The capital Meḷuviḍi is mentioned. Kuppadēvarasa bears the same titles as Āhavāditya Kuppeyarasa who was governing the Purigeṟe-nāḍu as a subordinate of Amōghavarsha I. This appears to be a later copy of an early record.

This badly damaged inscription refers itself to the reign of Akālavarsha. Since the date portion is damaged, it is not possible to say to which Akālavarsha it should be assigned. The alphabet is, however, too late for Kṛishṇa I. It seems to record the death of a hero in a cattle-raid.

The record belongs to the reign of Akālavarsha. The beginning of the praśasti of Kuppeyarasa of the Yādava family who was a subordinate of Amōghavarsha I (above No. 12) is preserved. It is probable, therefore, that he might have been mentioned here. If so, the record will have to be assigned to Kṛishṇa II. Aṇṇigeṟe is mentioned. Reference to Kannara is noteworthy.

The record refers itself to the reign of Nityavarsha and is dated in Śaka 847, Pārthiva (= A.D. 925). Since Gōvinda IV was the ruling king in that year, it has to be surmised that he also had the surname Nityavarsha like his father Indra III. (See Annual Report on Epigraphy 1916, Pt. ii, para. 38). The inscription registers a gift of land made by Nāgayya to a temple built by him while Chandraprabha-Bhaṭāra of the Dhōra-Jinālaya of Ba[ṅka]pura was administering Pasuṇḍi (i.e., modern Asuṇḍi) and Nāgapuli Gāvuṇḍa was the head-man (of the village.)

The inscription belongs to the reign of Suvarṇavarsha, i.e., Gōvinda IV and is dated in Śaka 855, Vijaya (= A.D. 933). It records several gifts made by Baḷḷajja, the Gavuṇḍa of Kovujageṟe to the temples and maṭhas constructed by him at Kovujageṟe, Beḷvaṇige and Evaṁgal. The erection of a gavikallu for himself and the stone (—structures) for his two sons, mentioned in the inscription is note worthy. He is stated to have constructed five temples.

The record refers itself to the reign of Kannaradēva (i.e., Kṛishṇa III), and introduces his brother-in-law (bhāva) Mahāmaṇḍalika Permāḍi Būtārya as governing the Gaṅgavāḍi Ninety-six Thousand, Beḷvola Three Hundred and Puligeṟe Three Hundred ⟨Page 22⟩ provinces in Śaka 864 corresponding to the cyclic year Śubhakṛit. It commemorates the death of one Paṁpayya of the Vāji family and the [K]auṇḍilya (Kauṇḍinya)gōtra in a fight with Būtayya-Permāḍi who had attacked Rōṇa on Sunday the 6th day of the bright half of Vaiśākha (= 24th April A.D. 942).

It is worth noting that Būtārya, i.e., the Western Gaṅga prince Būtuga II was already in possession of Beḷvola Three Hundred and Purigeṟe Three Hundred in A.D. 942, although it is stated in the Ātakūr inscription (Ep. Ind. Vol. VI, p. 50) that these provinces were given to him by Kṛishṇa III in A.D. 949-50 in recognition of his having killed the Chōḷa prince Rājāditya.

The inscription refers itself to the reign of Akāḷavarsha Kṛishṇarājadēva (i.e., Kṛishṇa III) and introduces his Gaṅga subordinate Būtayya-Permāḍi who was governing the Gaṅgavāḍi Ninety-six Thousand extending as far as Peḻdoṟe (i.e., ‘the great river’). It registers the gift of a tank made to the dāna-śāle (charity house) attached to the basadi constructed by Padmabbarasi, a queen of Būtayya, by Na[ma]yara Mārasiṅghayya, on Sunday, Pausha, śu. 10, Uttarāyaṇa-saṅkrānti of the cyclic year Sādhāraṇa falling in Śaka 873. The gift was entrusted to Guṇachandra-Paṇḍita, a pupil of Vīraṇandi-Paṇḍita who was a disciple of Mahēndra-Paṇḍita of the Koṇḍakundānvaya and Dēsiga-gaṇa. The (Body of the) Eighteen Members (Padineṇbaru) and the (Body of the) Sixteen Members (Padinaṟuvaṟu) were to protect the gift.

The record reveals for the first time that Būtuga II had a queen named Padmabbarasi besides the Rāshṭrakūta princess Rēvakanimmaḍi.

By the saṅkrānti, the date of the record would correspond to Monday, December 23, A.D. 950.

This is an inscription of Akālavarsha Kannaradēva who bears the birudas Āneveḍaṅga, Madagajamalla and Chalakenallāta. It states that while his body-guard (aṁgaraka) Ruddapayya was administering Saraṭavura, Ruddapayya's Perggaḍe Āchapayya and Gāmuṇḍa Sāmi Kaḻteyamma granted in the presence of the Fifty Mahājanas and the Ūroḍeya Piṭṭayya, land and money for vidyā-dāna and for the expenses of the maṭha attached to the temple there.

The gift was made on the occasion of an eclipse of the moon, on Sunday, Mārgaśira, śu. 15 of Śaka 873 corresponding to the cyclic year Virōdhi[kṛit*] (= 16th November A.D. 951) and entrusted to the care of Bhīmarāsi-Bhaṭāra.

(Published in Ind. Ant. Vol. XII, p. 257).

This damaged inscription refers itself to the reign of Akālavarshadēva (i.e., Kṛishṇa III) and is dated in Śaka 886, Raktākshin, Phālguṇa, solar eclipse (= Monday, 6th March, A.D. 965). It mentions the Mahāsāmantādhipati Āhavamalla Tailaparasa of the Satyāśraya family as a subordinate of the king, governing Tarddavāḍi One Thousand as aṇuṁgajīvita. He is also given the biruda Chāḷukya-Rāma. A subordinate of his, claiming descent from the Khachara-kula is mentioned but his name is unfortunately lost. The record seems to register a gift of taxes to some god at Narasalage included in the Murttage Thirty division. ⟨Page 25⟩

This is the first known inscription that establishes the political relationship of the Rāshṭrakṭūas and the Western Chāḷukyas of Kalyāṇi before the latter obtained sovereignty in A.D. 973.

⟨SIIv11p0i0041⟩ No. 41. (B.K. No. 21 of 1926-27). NĀGĀVI, GADAG TALUK, DHARWAR DISTRICT. ON A SLAB SET UP IN FRONT OF THE TEMPLE OF NĀGĀRJUNA.

The record which is badly damaged belongs to the time of Nityavarshadēva alias Koṭṭigadēva. It mentions his Gaṅga subordinate Satyavākya-Permānaḍigaḷ (i.e., Mārasiṁha II) as governing the Gaṅgavāḍi Ninety-six Thousand, Purigeṟe Three Hundred, Beḷvola Three Hundred, Kisukāḍu Seventy and Bāgaḍe Seventy. A subordinate of his by name Bōḻuga is described as the crest-jewel of the Pāpakalla-kula. The portion describing his exploits is completely worn out. But from what remains of it, it appears that he wrested from the Pāṇḍya(king) his golden umbrella and banner. The record ⟨Page 26⟩ registers a gift of land, made by Bōḻuga, on the occasion of the lunar eclipse which occurred on Friday, Mṛigaśira-nakshatra, Mārgaśira, puṇṇame of the year Śukla corresponding to Śaka 891 (= 26th November A.D. 969) for imparting education and for maintaining a feeding-house (satra) in the temple of Rāmēśvara at Nāgāvi. The inscription was composed by Sāmiyaṇṇa.

The inscription belongs to the reign of Koṭṭigadēva and is dated in Śaka 892 corresponding to the cyclic year Pramōdūta (= A.D. 970). It mentions the king's subordinate-Mārasiṅgha-Permānaḍi who was governing over Kisukāḍu Seventy and ⟨Page 28⟩ records the construction of a temple and a maṇḍapa and the installation of a liṅga and the goddess Bhagavatī therein, by Gaṅgara Vatsayya and states that Suṅkada Ballayya granted twelve mattar of land to the temple and two mattar to its manager (sthānapati). The charity of Beṅgi Gaḻdugarayya, son of Ballayya, called also Balavarman, is extolled. The record was composed by poet Nāraṇa and engraved by Nāganārya.

The English equivalent of the date quoted would be probably A.D. 971, February 15, Wednesday. The week day cited in the record is evidently a mistake.

It registers the regulation of tax, made on the day of Uttarāyaṇa-saṇkrānti in that year by Kontada Peggaḻayya, a son of Vachchhapayya, who was administering Pandigoḷa as achaḷapravṛitti, with the Gāvuṇḍa Nāgiyamma and the Sixty persons of the place.

The record belongs to the reign of Koṭṭigadēva and is dated in Śaka 893 (expired) Prajāpati (= A.D. 971). It registers a gift of gōsahasra made by Śānta-Gāvuṇḍa to ⟨Page 30⟩ the temple constructed by him on the 11th day of the bright half of Paushya. The corresponding English date would be A.D. 971, December 30, Saturday. Since the week-day is lost, this is not verifiable.

The inscription was composed by Chandramauḷi-Bhaḷāra.

⟨SIIv11p0i0045⟩ No. 45. (B.K. No. 231 of 1928-29). KURHAṬṬI, NAVALGUND TALUK, DHARWAR DISTRICT. ON A SLAB LYING IN FRONT OF THE TEMPLE OF HANUMĀN.

This inscription, which is much damaged, belongs to the reign of king Āhavamalla (Nūrmaḍi-Taila II) and is dated in the year Vikrama which corresponded to Śaka 902 (= A.D. 980). It refers to a family of local chiefs, descended from Rēvanta, among whom are mentioned: (1) Keṁcha, who acquired by conquest (the) Beḷvala (country) wherein lay Navilgundapura (the modern Navalgund); (2) his eldest son Siri-Mudda; (3) in their family Piriya [Kō]ṭi-gāvuṇḍa who built a Śiva temple and a [Jai]na-śālā; (4) his son Piriya Āycha; (5) in his family Toṇḍa; and (6) his eldest son Kāḷidhurandhara who pleased (king) Kannaradēva (probably the Rāshṭrakūṭa king Kṛishṇa III), by his valour. It mentions also the Vedic scholars Chaturvēdi-Bhaṭṭa, Jātavēda-Bhaṭṭa, Chāmuṇḍa-Bhaṭṭa, also called Guṇanidhi, born in the race of the Ṛishi Agastya, and his younger brother Eṟeyamma-Dīkshita, who was versed in the Lākuḷa-siddhānta, was a śākta and performed many sacrifices. The record registers the gift of the village Kāraṇaguripaṭṭi as an agrahāra to Guṇanidhi and of some money and land made by the king and his subordinate Śōbhana who was ruling over the Beḷvala-Purikara country. Śōbhana is identical with Mahāsāmanta Śōbhanarasa (Dyn. Kan. Dists. p. 432 and Ep. Ind. Vol. IV—p. 205). Kāraṇaguripaṭṭi is the modern Kurhaṭṭi, from which the inscription comes.

This mutilated and damaged inscription belongs to the reign of Taila II and is dated in Śaka 911, Vikṛita (= A.D. 990-91). From what remains of the record, it appears to be a copy of the Sinda inscription at Bhairanmaṭṭi published in Epigraphia Indica Vol. III, p. 232. Dr. Fleet thinks that Śaka 911 is a mistake for Śaka 912 (expired), (ibid).

The inscription belongs to the reign of Āhavamalladēva (Nūrmaḍi-Taila II). It records grants of garden-land at Eleya-Posavūru (i.e., modern Hosūr) made by ⟨Page 33⟩ Koṟalagunda,—the manneya of Muḷugunda Twelve and the Nāḷgāvuṇḍa (i.e., nāḍugāvuṇḍa) who belonged to the Sinda race and the Kunnala family and bore the snake-banner (nāga-dhvaja) and the tiger-crest (vyāghra-lāñchhana)—and the gāvuṇḍas of Muḷugunda Twelve, headed by Āycha-Gāvuṇḍa, for the benefit of the temple of Mūlasthānadēva at Posavūru. A certain Eṟeyamma-Gāvuṇḍa, gave land for vidyādāna, in the same temple. The Māhāsāmanta Śōbhanarasa (same as the Śōbhana of inscription No. 45 above) was then ruling over the Two Six-Hundred (divisions). He bore the epithets, Kannana-baṇṭa and Koṅkaṇa-bhayaṅkara.

The inscription is dated in Śaka year 915, Jaya, Uttarāyaṇa-saṅkrānti and solar eclipse. In Jaya, which corresponded to Śaka 916 according to the Southern cycle and to Śaka 915 according to the Northern cycle, there was no solar eclipse on the Uttarāyaṇa-saṅkrānti day which fell on Monday, December 24, A.D. 994. But there was a solar eclipse in this year on Pushya, ba. amāvāsyā, which corresponded to A.D. 995, January 4, Friday.

The inscription belongs to the reign of Iṟivabeḍeṅgadēva and records a grant of land at Maḻteyavāḍa in Purigeṟe-nāḍu made by his vassal Mahāsāmanta Sōbhanarasa, who possessed the ‘five great sounds’ and the epithets, ‘Kannana-baṇṭa’, ‘Kaṭakaprākāra’ and ‘Giridurgamalla’. He is described as a ‘bee at the lotus feet of Āhavamalladēva’ and is stated to have been governing over the Beḷvola Three-Hundred, Purigeṟe Three-Hundred, Kunduru Five-Hundred and Kukkanūru Thirty divisions. The grant was made as vidyādāna to Kāḷajñāni Vakkhāṇi-Jīya, the disciple of Koppina-Vakkhāṇi-Jīya, who was the student (vidyā-śishya) of Pūliya-Paṇḍita, of the ⟨Page 35⟩ temple of Svayaṁbhudēva at Kardugu, i.e., the modern Gadag, which was an agrahāra in the Beḷvola-nāḍu. The inscription is dated Śaka 924, Śubhakṛit, Chaitra, śuddha 5, Sunday, which corresponds to A.D. 1002, March 22, Sunday.

Mahāsāmanta Sōbhanarasa has been noticed in Nos. 45 and 47 above.

⟨SIIv11p0i0049⟩ No. 49. (B.K. No. 75 of 1929-30). TUṀBIGI, MUDDEBIHAL TALUK, BIJAPUR DISTRICT. ON A BROKEN STONE LYING IN THE VILLAGE-chāvaḍi.

The inscription belongs to the reign of Akaḷaṅkacharita Iṟivabeḍaṅga Satyāśraya and registers gifts of land made to certain local religious institutions, by the king's officer Seṭṭi Brahmayya who was administering Tuṁbagi, an agrahāra in Pagalaṭṭi Three Hundred and by a lady named Āychakabbe, with rules for their management.

The record is dated in Śaka 926, Krōdhin, Āshāḍha, amāvāsyā, solar eclipse. The date corresponds to Thursday, July 20, A.D. 1004.

(Published in Ep. Ind., Vol. XVII, p. 7 1).

⟨SIIv11p0i0050⟩ No. 50. (B.K. No. 62 of 1926-27). YALI-SIRŪR, GADAG TALUK, DHARWAR DISTRICT. ON A SLAB SET UP NEAR THE VILLAGE chāvaḍi.

The record belongs to the reign of Iṟivabeḍaṅga Satyāśraya, who is stated to have been halting at a place called Śiriparvata (Śrīparvata), at the time of the grant. It ⟨Page 37⟩ mentions the chief Mahāsāmanta Śōbhanarasa (already referred to) with the usual epithets: ‘Kannana-baṇṭa,’ ‘Kaṭaka-prākāra’ and ‘a bee at the lotus feet of Āhavamalladēva.’ He is stated to have been governing over the Huligeṟe Three Hundred, Beḷuvala Three Hundred and Halasige Twelve Thousand (divisions). While his-subordinate Leṅka Bēṇayya was administering the toll-revenue (suṅka) of Sirivura, Soraṭavura Sabbi • • (probably Sabbi Thirty 1)and the Two Six Hundred (divisions), Śōbhanarasa gave, at the request of the Eight Gāvuṇḍas and the Sixty Tenants of Sirivura, six mattar of land to Rēvabbe-Goravi of the temple of Mūlasthāna. This charter which is dated Śaka 926, Krōdhin, Paushya, amāvāsyā, Sunday, Sūrya-grahaṇa, having been broken, the gift was renewed later in the thirteenth year of the reign of king Sarvajñachakravartin Bhuvarlōkamalla (mistake for Bhūlōkamalla i.e., Sōmēśvara III) in Kāḷayukta, on Paushya, ba. 7, Sunday, vyatīpāta, Uttarāyaṇa-saṅkramaṇa, by the Mahāpradhāna, Sēnādhipati, Pattaḷakaraṇa, Daṇḍāyada-Heggaḍe and Daṇḍanāyaka, Mahādēvayya, at the request of his brother-in-law Padmarasa who was the Heggaḍe of Śrīpura and a Pradhāna and Kannaḍa-sandhivigrahi, and at the request of certain Gāvuṇḍas and the Sixty Tenants of Muluvalagēri. This later pratiśāsana was given to Amṛitarāśi-Paṇḍita, the then āchārya of the Mūlasthāna temple.

The first of the dates agrees with Sunday (mistake for Saturday), January 13, A.D. 1005 and the second correctly corresponds to A.D. 1138, December 25, Sunday.

This inscription, which is damaged, records the death of a hero named Leṅka Kēta, who fell in a battle at the fort of Ūṇukallu (the modern Uṇkal) where he fought at the command of Sattiga (probably king Iṟivabeḍaṅga Satyāśraya). ⟨Page 39⟩

The date, Śaka 9[2]7, Viśvāvasu, Phālguṇa, amāvāsyā, Sunday (according to the Ephemeris, mistake for Saturday) corresponds to A.D. 1006, March 2, Saturday.

The inscription composed in Sanskrit and Kannaḍa refers itself to the reign of Āhavamalladēva, but, is dated Śaka 929, Plavaṅga. On account of the date the record has to be assigned to the time of Iṟivabeḍaṅga Śatyāśraya, who must have also had the surname or title Āhavamalla. The inscription contains the interesting reference to the king's conquest of the Gūrjara country. It registers a gift of land, made by Attiyabbe, wife of the chief Nāgadēva, son of Dhalla, of the Vāji family, to the Jaina temple constructed by her at Lokkiguṇḍi (modern Lakkuṇḍi), while her son Paḍevaḷa (General) Taila was governing the Māsavāḍi country. The gift was made into the hands of her preceptor Arhaṇandi-Paṇḍita of the Sūrasta-gaṇa and the Kauṟūr-gachchha. The epigraph records certain interesting miracles connected with the life of Attiyabbe.

In Plavaṅga, corresponding to Śaka 929, Phālguṇa, Nandīśvarāshṭamī fell on Tuesday = Feb. 17, A.D. 1008; but it fell on Thursday in the previous year. The English equivalent of the latter date would be A.D. 1007, February 27, Thursday. According to the Pushpadantapurāṇa, āśvāsa 6, verse 56, Nandīśvarāshṭamī corresponded to Phālguṇa, śu. ashṭamī.

This inscription, which is very much mutilated, is almost a copy of the foregoing record except in the last few lines. It refers to Lokkiguṇḍi, Nāgadēva, Paḍevaḷa Tailapayya and Attiyabbe, who obtained the śāsana from king Āhavamalla. The portion giving the date is partly lost. But Phālguṇa and Nandīśvarāshṭamī of the previous inscription find mention in this record also. It is not improbable that the previous inscription was engraved in consequence of the breakage in the stone containing the present epigraph as in the case of No. 50, above.

The inscription belongs to the reign of Tribhuvanamalladēva (Vikramāditya V). It mentions the king's sister Akkādēvī, who was governing over Kisukāḍu Seventy and registers the leasing out of certain estates by the Six Gāvuṇḍas and the Eight Seṭṭis of Sūṇḍi, to the Mahājanas of the Brahmapurī of the locality.

The record is dated Śaka 932, Sādhāraṇa, Mārgaśira, puṇṇami, lunar eclipse. The tithi quoted coincides with Wednesday, November 8, A.D. 1010, but there was no lunar eclipse on this day. The only lunar eclipses in this year occurred on April 1 and September 26.

The inscription belongs to the reign of Tribhuvanamalladēva (Vikramāditya V) and mentions his subordinate Daṇḍanāyaka Kēśavayya as governing Beḷvola Three Hundred and Purigeṟe Three Hundred district. It records that the chief granted, with the king's permission, the agrahāra Ummachige to Maunara Śrīdharabhaṭṭa who left it in charge of the One Hundred and Four Mahājanas of the place specifying certain conditions to be observed by them. The record is dated Śaka 934, Pushya, śu. 8, Sunday, Uttarāyaṇa-saṅkrānti which, except for the week-day, corresponded to Tuesday, 23rd December, A.D. 1012.

This inscription refers itself to the reign of Jagadēkamalladēva (I). It seems to commemorate the death, probably in a fight, of Sēnabōva Nāgavarmmayya, a trusted servant of Bhīmadēva who was a scion of the Rāshṭrakūṭa family and a few others. Bhīmadēva is described as a bee at the lotus-feet of Āhavamalladēva (i.e., Taila II). the scent-elephant of (his) māva (father-in-law or maternal uncle), ‘the lion of (his) bhāva (brother-in-law) and a Hanuma (i.e., Hanumān) of Siṁha (i.e., Jayasiṁha II) and a Sauparṇa (i.e., Garuḍa) in valour. He is evidently identical with Bhīmarasa or Bhīmarāja who was governing the Banavase, Sāntaḷige and Kisukāḍu districts under Taila (II) and Iṟivabeḍaṅga Satyāśraya (Dyn. Kan. Dists. pp. 430 and 433). His family name is disclosed for the first time now by the present epigraph.

The record is dated Śaka 941, Siddhārthin, * * śu. 5, Sunday. In Siddhārthin, śu. 5 and Sunday combined on three occasions which correspond to (1) A.D. 1019, April 12, (2) A.D. 1019, September 6 and (3) A.D. 1020, January 3.

The inscription which belongs to the reign of Jagadēkamalladēva (I) mentions the Mahāsāmanta Dasarasa entitled ‘Siṅgana Garuḍa’ i.e., the eagle of Siṅga (i.e., Jayasiṁha II,) as governing Māseyavāḍi One Hundred and Forty. It registers a gift of land made by the king and Nāgama-Gāvuṇḍa of Aragilvāḷa situated on the bank of the Tuṅgabhadrā river, to the temple of Dharmēśvara constructed by Tribhuvana-Nārāyaṇa Dharma-Seṭṭi. Since Dasarasa is called a son (magam) of Jagadēkamalladēva he may be taken to be a favourite servant of the king, not hitherto known from inscriptions.

The record is dated Śaka 944, Dundubhi, Chaitra, śu. 5, Sunday which is equivalent to A.D. 1022, March 10, Saturday. Sunday is probably a mistake for Saturday.

The inscription belongs to the reign of Jagadēkamalladēva (I) and is dated in Śaka 944, Dundubhi (= A.D. 1022). It registers a gift of lands made by Māchimayya to the temple of Mūlasthānadēva constructed by his younger brother Saṅkimayya at Rōṇa. Saṅkimayya's father was Āytavarmma born in the family of Brahmā (i.e., a Brāhmaṇa) and a resident of the mahā-agrahāra Rōṇa.

The inscription refers itself to the reign of Jagadēkamalladēva (1) and purports to be the memorial pillar set up in front of the goddess Banadadēvī by Sāhasa-Bhīma Manevergade Kētimayya on Sunday, Vaiśākha, ba. 8 of the cyclic year Raktākshin falling in Śaka 946 (= Sunday, 3rd May, A.D. 1024). Kētimayya is stated to be a servant of Mahāsāmanta Dāsarasa who must be identical with the chief Dasarasa mentioned in No. 58 above.

The inscription belongs to the reign of Jagadēkamalladēva (I) and registers a gift of land made to a basadi at Maravoḷal (the modern Marōḷ) by the Noḷaṁba chief Ghaṭeyaṅkakāṟa who was governing the Noḷaṁbavāḍi and Kariviḍi-Thirty divisions. Maruvoḷal was under the administration of Mahādēvī, a daughter of Sattiga (i.e., Iṟivabeḍaṅga Satyāśraya). The Jaina teachers Anantavīrya-Munipa who was versed in all the śāstras, Guṇakīrti-Siddhānta-Bhaṭṭāraka and his desciple Dēvakīrti-Paṇḍita are also mentioned. The record is engraved indistinctly in a cursive script.

We know from the Ālūr inscription of Vikramāditya V Śaka 933); Ep. Ind. Vol. XVI, pp. 27 ff.) that Iṟiva-Noḷaṁbādhirāja Ghaṭeyaṅkakāṟa had married a daughter of Iṟivabeḍaṅga. She was probably the Mahādēvī of the present inscription. Iṟiva-Nolaṁbādhirāja Ghaṭeyaṅkakāṟa is apparently identical with Ghaṭeyaṅkakāṟa of the present record.

The record is dated Śaka 946, Raktākshin, Uttarāyaṇa-saṅkramaṇa, the English equivalent of which would be A.D. 1024, December 24. Thursday.

The inscription belongs to the reign of Jagadēkamalladēva (I) and registers a gift of 24 mattar of land made by Mahāsāmanta Āytavarmarasa of the Raṇamūrkha family to the temple of Re[bba]lēśvara at Pergguṟuva (the modern Heggūr). Of these, eighteen mattar were meant for expenses of education and six for the benefit of the deity.

The record is dated Śaka 94[6], Raktākshin, Pushya, śu. 7, Thursday, Uttarāyaṇasaṅkrānti which corresponds to A.D. 1024, December 24, Thursday (śu. 7 being evidently a mistake for ba. 7).

The inscription belongs to the reign of Jagadēkamalla (I) and registers a gift of land at Kariyāḷa made by Mahāsāhaṇādhipati Sauchaya-Nāyaka who was administering Eleya-Pasuṇḍi in the Beḷvola Three Hundred district, to the temple of Bhōgēśvara, after washing the feet of Dēvasiṅgi-Paṇḍita, a pupil of Maleyāḷa-Paṇḍita of the temple of Nakarēśvara at Aṇṇigeṟe. The record is dated Śaka 948, Prabhava, Paushya, śu. 13, Sunday, Uttarāyṇa-saṅkrānti. Prabhava corresponded to Śaka 949 and in this year Uttarāyaṇa-saṅkrānti fell on Paushya, ba. 9, Sunday, but in the previous year, i.e., Kshaya, the saṅkrānti fell on Paushya, śu. 13, which was a Saturday. The probable English equivalent of the date would be A.D. 1026, December 24.

The inscription belongs to the reign of Jayasiṁhadēva (II) and introduces his subordinate Vāvaṇarasa as the governor of the Purigeṟe Three Hundred and Beḷvola Three Hundred provinces. It states that Bhāvaśivadēva was the spiritual head of several temples including Jagadēkamallēśvara constructed by Kundarāja at Muchchuṇḍi in Banavāsi-nāḍu and Śōbhanēśvara built by Śōbhanarasa at Muḷugunda and that his chosen pupil Nāgasvāmin made a gift of gold, land and house-site for certain charities before he started on his pilgrimage to fulfill certain vratas at Gayā, Vāraṇāsi (Benares) etc. Kundarāja mentioned above is evidently the son of (?) Iṟivabeḍaṅga Satyāśraya (Ep. Ind. Vol. XV. p. 330) and Śōbhanarasa is identical with the homonymous governor of the two Six-Hundreds under Taila II in A.D. 982 (Ep. Ind. Vol. IV. p. 206 f). The record is dated Śaka 950, Vibhava, Śrāvaṇa, ba. 8, Wednesday, which corresponds to A.D. 1028, July 17, Wednesday. The month was Adhika-Śrāvaṇa.

⟨SIIv11p0i0065⟩ No. 65. (B.K. No. 110 of 1926-27). HOSŪR, GADAG TALUK, DHARWAR DISTRICT. ON A SLAB BUILT INTO THE ROOF OF THE ŚIVA TEMPLE.

The inscription belongs to the reign of Jagadēkamalladēva I. His subordinate Daṇḍanāyaka Vāvaṇarasa, the eldest son of Kēśavarasa, was governing the Two Six-Hundred districts and his younger brother the Mahāsāmantādhipati Śrīpādarasa, was ruling over Muḷugunda-Twelve. The object of the inscription is to record the grant of an areca-nut garden and house-sites made by Āycha-Gāvuṇḍa of Posavūr to the basadi constructed by him in memory of his wife Kaṁchikabbe while Posavūr was being administered by Sindarasa at the command of Rēvakabbarasi, the wife of Vāvaṇarasa. Sindarasa was the son of Koṟalgunda who belonged to the Sinda race and Kannula (Kunnala ?) family. The stone was set up by Polega, son of Eṟaka or Yaṟaga, who was the eldest son of Āycha-Gāvuṇḍa who belonged to the Moraka family. (On Koṟalgunda see No. 47 above).

The record is dated Śaka 950, Vibhava, Paushya, śuddha-trayōdaśī, Sunday, Uttarāyaṇa-saṅkrānti. The date is irregular. In Vibhava, the Uttarāyaṇa-saṅkrānti occurred on Tuesday, Pushya, śu. 5, (= Dec. 24, A.D. 1028). But in the following year, Pushya, śu. 13 and Sunday coincided but the saṅkrānti occurred on the following Wednesday (= Dec. 24, A.D. 1029).

The record belongs to the reign of Jagadēkamalladēva I and bears the date Śaka 954, Aṅgirasa, Uttarāyaṇa-saṅkrānti. It registers a gift of land and an oil-mill made conjointly by the Mahāsāmanta Nāgavarmarasa, called also ‘Yādava-Nārāyaṇa’, Vāvaṇayya-Nāyaka, the Ūroḍeya of Bīdi[kku]nde, [Kā]varāja and Rēchimayya, to the temple of Śiva and the maṭha constructed by Isaramayya, son of Dēvapayya. Bīdikkunde is identical with the modern Bidarkundi where the inscription is found.

The date of the record corresponds to A.D. 1032, December 24, Sunday.

This damaged inscription of Jagadēkamalladēva I registers a gift of land made to the maṭha etc., attached to the temple of Mūlasthāna at Kāntipaṭṭaṇa. A certain Mahāsāmanta Mailarasa who was governing Pagalaṭṭi, is mentioned with a string of titles. The record is dated Śaka 954, Aṅgirasa, saṅkrānti, Sunday. In Aṅgirasa, both the Dakshiṇāyana and the Uttarāyaṇa sankrāntis fell on a Sunday. The inten- ⟨Page 58⟩ ded date is probably the more popular Uttarāyaṇa-saṅkrānti which corresponds to A.D. 1032, December 24, Sunday. The Dakshiṇāyana-saṅkrānti fell on Sunday, June 25, of the same year.

Kāntipaṭṭaṇa was evidently the ancient sanskritised name of Bāvūr to which the epigraph belongs.

The inscription which is engraved in characters of the 12th century A.D. purports to be a record of Jayasiṁhadēva who bore the titles Vikramasiṁha and Trailōkyamalla and who was ruling the kingdom from his capital at Hoṭṭaḷakeṟe. It registers the grant of land made to the temples of Balēśvaradēva and Mūlasthānadēva at Taṁbedhaḍe (modern Tammadhaḍḍi) by Balikabbe-gauḍi, the wife of Paśāyita Durgimayya who was the Heggaḍe of the Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Koṇḍiṟuva Gōmarasa of Nālvatuṁbāḍa (i.e., Nalatwāḍ 1). ⟨Page 59⟩

The date of the record is Pushya, amāvāsyā, Uttarāyaṇa-saṅkrānti, Sunday. If the king of this record is taken to be Jayasiṁha II, the details would correspond to Sunday, 23rd December, A.D. 1033.; f.d.t. ·55. ‘Trailōkyamalla’ and ‘Vikramasiṁha’ would appear to be new birudas of the king. Jayasiṁha III, a son of Sōmēśvara I had the biruda ‘Trailōkyamalla,’ but he never ascended the throne.

The inscription belongs to the reign of Jagadēkamalladēva I who was ruling from his capital at Kalyāṇapura. It records that, while Prabhu Jōga was administering Rājuru included in Kisukāḍu Seventy, the image of the god Jōgēśvara was installed at Rājūru on Monday, Vaiśākha, śu, puṇṇame of the year Śrīmukha falling in ⟨Page 60⟩ Śaka 45869 (!) and that several gifts of land and money were made to the temples of Jōgēśvara, Gavaṟēśvara and Sōmanātha. The Śaka year is given wrongly. Otherwise the details would regularly correspond to Monday, 16th April, A.D. 1033 (Śaka 955). The characters are too late to be assigned to the time of Jagadēkamalla I. But in Jagadekamalla II's reign there was no cyclic year Śrīmukha. The record is probably a copy. It is worded very indifferently.

The inscription which is written in characters of about the 11th century A.D. is divided into two parts. The first part tells us that in the time of the Western Chāḷukya king Taila II in Śaka 911 (mistake for 912) Vikṛita, there was a Sinda prince named Pulikāla who had a son named Mahāsāmanta Nāgatiyarasa. It registers a grant of land which had been made by Nāgatiyarasa to a priest named Paratraya Siṁharāśi-Bhaṭṭa. It is added that Nāgatiyarasa's grandson Sēvyarasa was a vassal of Bhuvanaikamalladēva (Sōmēśvara II1). The second part registers a grant which Nāgatiyarasa had made to a priest named Tējōrāśi-Paṇḍita in the time of Jayasiṁha II when the latter was reigning at Koḷḷipāke in Śaka 955, Śrīmukha (= A.D. 1033-34). This latter gift seems to be identical with the one recorded in the following epigraph.

(Published in Ep. Ind. Vol. III. pp. 230ff).

This mutilated inscription refers itself to the reign of Jagadēkamalladēva (Jayasiṁha II) who was ruling the kingdom from his capital at Koḷḷipāke and registers a grant made by his subordinate Mahāsāmanta Nāgatiyarasa to Tējōrāśi-Paṇḍita in Śaka 955, Śrīmukha (= A.D. 1033-34). The chief and the donee are evidently identical with those of the above inscription which appears to be a later copy.

The inscription belongs to the reign of Jagadēkamalla Jayasiṅghadēva II and registers the gift of land made by Dāmōdara-Śeṭṭi, after purchasing it from Maddimayya-Nāyaka, the Ūroḍeya of Lokkiguṇḍi, to the temples of Traipurushadēva and Bāraha-Nārāyaṇadēva (Twelve Nārāyaṇas). The father of Dāmōdara, Perggaḍe Dhōyipayya, is stated to have constructed these temples and set up the garuḍastambha therein. The inscription contains two dates, viz., Śaka 959, Īśvara, Āshāḍha, śu. 5, Sunday and Āśvayuja, amāvāsyā, solar eclipse, vyatīpāta, which respectively correspond to A.D. 1037, June 20, (which was Monday and not Sunday), and A.D. 1037, October 11, Tuesday.

This inscription is badly damaged and worn out. It refers itself to the reign of the Western Chāḷukya king Jagadēkamalla Jayasimha II (A.D. 1016-1042) and seems to register a gift of land. The record bears two dates of which the first is completely lost. The second is Śaka 962, Vikrama, Pushya, ba. 1, Monday, Uttarāyaṇa-saṅkrānti. The English equivalent of this by the tithi and the week-day would be A.D. 1040, December 22, Monday, but the saṅkrānti occurred on the following day.

The record belongs to the reign of Jagadēkamalladēva (I) who was ruling the kingdom from his capital at Hoṭṭaḷakeṟe. It mentions his subordinate the Mahāsāmanta Eṟeyamma or Eṟega who bears all the hereditary titles of the Raṭṭa family. He is stated to have made a gift of certain incomes accruing from fines etc., to the Mahājanas of Daivada Maṇṭūru and the Ūroḍeya Madhusūdanayya for digging a tank called Raṭṭasamudra in that place. Eṟega bears also the birudas Raṭṭa-Nārāyaṇa and Raṭṭa-Mārttaṇḍa.

The record is dated Śaka 962, Vikrama, Mārgaśira, śu. 5, Sunday. In Vikrama, Mārgaśira, śu. 5 was not Sunday but Tuesday. But in the following year Vishu, Mārgaśira, śu. 5 was Sunday A.D. 1041, November 1 which perhaps is the date intended.

⟨SIIv11p0i0075⟩ No. 75. (B.K. No. 87 of 1927-28). SIRŪR, MUNDARGI PETHA, DHARWAR DISTRICT. ON THE STONE DOOR FRAME OF THE TŌRAṆAGALLA BRAHMADĒVA TEMPLE.

The inscription refers itself to the reign of Jagadēkamalladēva I and mentions Jagadēkamalla Irmaḍi Noḷaṁba-Pallava-Permānaḍi as governing the five villages in Māsivāḍi One Hundred and Forty, and records the remission of certain taxes made by the six gāvuṇḍas (whose names are given) in respect of Kuṁchavaḍuga Dāsayya for having constructed the siri-vāgilu (gate of fortune, i.e., the main gate) at Sirivura. Dāsa is stated to be an ornament of the Sinda-kula and is called Paḍevaḷa Dāsa.

Irmaḍi Noḷamba figures in another inscription of Sirūr as administering the same territory in Śaka 963 (Ep. Ind. Vol. XV, pp. 335 ff). It may be presumed that this chief for whom dates Śaka 963 and Śaka 964 (date of the present record) are known is identical with Jagadēkamalla Noḷaṁba [alias] Irmaḍi Noḷaṁba who ⟨Page 66⟩ was the elder brother of Trailōkyamalla Nanni-Noḷamba-Pallava-Permānaḍi figuring in the Mōrigere record of Śaka 967 (No. 443 of 1914).

The inscription is dated Śaka 964, Chitrabhānu, Kārtika, śu. 2, Monday, which corresponds to A.D. 1042, October 18, Monday.

This inscription which is considerably damaged and mutilated refers to one Mādhava and his son (?) Kēsa[va ?]-Jīya (also probably called Kēsavarāja). The latter appears to have fought successful battles in the Koṅkaṇa country and on the banks of the Gōdāvarī and won the admiration of Taila (Nūrmaḍi-Taila II) and also pleased Vikramāditya (probably Vikramāditya V) by his conquest of the Kōsala country. Among his sons by Lāḻāṁbikā or Lāḷāṁbikā, were Bhāyiga, who pleased the same king by his conquests and Mādhavarāja who won the admiration of Siṅga-nṛipati (probably Jayasiṁha II) by leading the cavalry forces (in the wars) against the Chōḷa.

This is an inscription of Jagadēkamalladēva who had his capital at [Poṭṭaḷakeṟe]. Neither the date nor the contents of the record are available as the stone is broken off in the middle. On palaeographical grounds, the record may be assigned to Jagadēkamalla Jayasiṁha II.

The inscription refers itself to the reign of Traiḷōkyamalla Āhavamalladēva (i.e., Sōmēśvara I) and records the gift of some lands at Mugunda in Mugunda-Thirty made by the Nārgāvuṇḍa Chāvuṇḍa-Gāvuṇḍa to the Samyaktaratnākara-chaityālaya, constructed in the village by him, for repairs, etc., and for the feeding of visitors. It also records the construction of a nāṭakaśāle (theatre) attached to the temple by Mahāsāmanta Mārtaṇḍayya, grandson of Chāvuṇḍa-Gāvuṇḍa. Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Chaṭṭayyadēva of the Kadaṁba family is said to have been governing Palasige Twelve Thousand and Koṅkaṇa Nine Hundred. Mugunda was, according to the record, situated in Mahārājavāḍi-nāḍu a subdivision of Palasige Twelve thousand. The inscription gives a long pedigree of the Jaina spiritual teachers of the Kumudi-gaṇa.

The inscription is dated in Śaka 966, Pārthiva, Chaitra, śuddha 5, Sunday. It may be remarked that the year Pārthiva corresponded to Śaka 967. The English equivalent of the date would be A.D. 1045, March 25, Monday; f.d.t. ·18. Sunday is evidently a mistake for Monday. A.D. 1007-8 was the only date for the chief Chaṭṭayya known so far. This record, therefore, extends his period by 37 years.

The record refers itself to the reign of a Trailōkyamalladēva and is dated in Puthiva (Pārthiva), Jyēshṭha, śu. 10, Tuesday. It mentions a Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara named Gaṇḍabhēruṇḍa Manneya-vallabha Siddarasa, Chika-Sāhaṇi and Malleya-Sāhaṇi. The details of the date correspond to A.D. 1045, May 28, but the characters appear to be too late for this date. The date cited in the record is not correct for the reign of Trailōkyamalla Taila III. It is not therefore possible to say with any degree of certainty who the Trailōkyamalla of the record is. The inscription is much damaged.

The record refers itself to the reign of Trailōkyamalladēva (i.e. Sōmēśvara I) and is dated in Śaka 969, Sarvajit, Chaitra, amāvāsyā, Sunday, solar eclipse (= A.D. 1047, March 29, Sunday). It registers a grant of land made by Akkādēvī, while she was encamped at Gōkāge, to the Goṇadabeḍaṅgi-Jinālaya temple at Vikramapura (i.e. Arasibīḍi) and to Nāgasēna-Paṇḍita of the Hogari-gachchha, the Varasēna-gaṇa and the Mūla-saṅgha.

The inscription belongs to the reign of Traiḷōkyamalla Āhavamalla (i.e. Sōmēśvara I). It registers a gift of land and house by the Thirty-six Mahājanas of Benatavūru to Mādimayya who died while rescuing cattle from one Mādirāja who had captured them unjustly and was driving them to Aṇṇigeṟe.

The record is dated Śaka 970, Sarvadhārin, Phālguṇa, śu. 5, Monday. The English equivalent of the date would be A.D. 1049, February 9, Thursday, the weekday cited being a mistake. If, however, Sarvadhārin (= Śaka 970 current) be assumed to be of the Northern cycle (which is not likely) the corresponding English date would be A.D. 1047, February 2, Monday; f.d.t. ·120.

This record belongs to the reign of Traiḷōkyamalladēva (i.e. Sōmēśvara I) and is dated in Śaka 970. It is mutilated and damaged. The object of the inscription seems to be to register some gift made by certain Gāvuṇḍas for the benefit of the ascetics attached to a maṭha. Mahāsāmantādhipati Daṇḍanāyaka Mā[di]ṇayya is ⟨Page 75⟩ stated to have been governing five villages in the Māsiyavāḍi One Hundred and Forty and Mahāsāmantādhipati Dāsarasa who is called the vajra of Mādi (i.e. Mādiṇayya) was administering Sirivura (i.e. modern Śirūr).

The record refers itself to the reign of Traiḷōkyamalladēva (i.e. Sōmēśvara I) and registers a gift of land in the village Honnavāḍi in Tardavāḍi Thousand made by the senior queen Maiḷaladēvī in the presence of Billavarasa and others for repairs etc., to the temple of Sōmēśvara belonging to the sthāna of Jñānarāśi Vyākhyānadēva of the Pāśupata school. The gift was made into the hands of Chandeya-Bhaṭṭa on the occasion of laksha-hōma and was to be protected by the Five Hundred Mahājanas of Bāgavāḍi. ⟨Page 76⟩

At the time of the grant, the king is stated to have been residing in the nelevīḍu at Vagghāpura in Karahaḍa-nāḍu after the conquest of the Pallavas. As the Pallavas of Kānchī had ceased to exist as a ruling power at this time, the Pallavas here referred to must be the Noḷaṁba-Pallavas. If so, we get for the first time in this record, the information of their being conquered by this Western Chāḷukya king. The record furnishes for Maiḷaladēvī a date four years earlier than that given by Dr. Fleet viz. A.D. 1053-54 (Bomb. Gaz. Vol. I, part II, p. 438).

The inscription is dated Śaka 971, Virōdhi, Bhādrapada, śu. puṇṇame, Tuesday, lunar eclipse which corresponds to A.D. 1049, August 15, Tuesday on which day there was a lunar eclipse.

This inscription which is in Sanskrit and Kannaḍa opens with the praise of the goddess Mahālakshmīdēvī of Kollāpura. It states that Prabhu Rājavarman was a votary of this goddess and his descendant Mārasiṅgha-prabhu, son of Gaurabbe, granted land and money to the temples of Siddhēśvara, Hāṭakēśvara, Vishṇudēva, Chaṇḍikā, Hanumān, Bhairava, etc., situated at Śrīpura in Ponugunda Thirty division, for worship, offerings, temple repairs and feeding of students and ascetics in the maṭha attached thereto. The gift-land was situated partly in Śrīpura and partly in Mūlavaḷḷi in Bāgaḍage Seventy division. Prabhu Mārasiṅgha is stated to be the guru-vara of the mother of Līḷādēvī, the queen of king Traiḷōkyamalla (Sōmēśvara I). Līḷādēvī is a new queen not known hitherto from inscriptions.

The date of the record is identical with that of the previous inscription.

⟨SIIv11p0i0086⟩ No. 86. (B.K. No. 48 of 1927-28). KORLAHAḶḶI, MUNDARGI PETHA, DHARWAR DISTRICT. ON A SLAB LYING ON THE RUINED DAM ACROSS THE RIVER TUṄGABHADRĀ.

This damaged inscription in Kannaḍa refers itself to the reign of Traiḷōkyamalladēva (Sōmēśvara I). It registers a gift of land to a god (name lost) by Akkādēvī who was ruling over Kisukāḍu Seventy, Bāgaḍage Seventy, Toṟagale • • •, Māsiyavāḍi One Hundred and Forty and other districts, from Pannāvaḻeya-kōṭe. The gift was made in the presence of her subordinate Mahāsāmanta Ajjarasa, who bears the birudas: Dvārāvatīpuravarēśvara, • • • Garuḍadhvaja and others. He is evidently a Yādava chief and is described as having defeated the Chōḷa, [Ān]dhra, Magadha, Koṅkaṇa, Māḷava, Pāñchāla and Lāḻa kings. This chief is not known hitherto. Akkādēvī is evidently the paternal aunt of king Sōmēśvara.

The record is dated Śaka 97[2], • • • •, [Mār]gaśira, śu. pañchamī, vyatīpāta, Uttarāyaṇa-saṅkrānti. The details are inadequate for verifying the date. In Śaka 972, corresponding to Vikṛita, the Uttarāyaṇa-saṅkrānti fell on Pushya, śu. 8, Monday = A.D. 1050, December 24.

This record belongs to the reign of Sōmēśvara I and is dated in Śaka 973, Vikṛita, Jyēshṭha, śuddha 13, Sunday (probably A.D. 1050, May 6, Sunday). It records that “seven royal ministers and other administrative officials granted to the eight Seṭṭis and eighty households a renewal of their corporate constitution which had partly broken down in the stress of the war with the Chōḷas”, when Akkādēvī was administering Kisukāḍu Seventy, Toṟagare Sixty and Māsavāḍi Hundred and Forty from Pannāḷiya-kōṭe.

The inscription is in Kannaḍa and refers itself to the reign of Trailōkyamalladēva (Sōmēsśvara I). It registers a gift of land made at Paṁpeya-tīrtha to the forty-two learned Brahmans of the Brahmapurī at the capital Vikramapura by Akkādēvī while she was governing the Kisukāḍu Seventy division.

The record is dated Śaka 975, Vijaya, Mārggaśira, amāvāsyā, Sunday, solar eclipse. This would correspond to A.D. 1053, November 13, if Mārgaśira is taken as pūrṇimānta. The week-day was, however, Saturday.

The record is mutilated. It belongs to the reign of Trailōkyamalladēva (Sōmēśvara I) and registers a gift of land made, for the benefit of the god Sōmēśvara, of the ascetics and of a satra, into the hands of the disciple (name lost) of Dēvasiṅgi-Paṇḍita, while Mahā[sāhaṇā]dhipati Sauchayya-Nāyaka was administering (the village) Eleya-Pasuṇḍi. Among the boundaries occurs the name Pombuḻcha.

The inscription is dated Śaka 975, Vija[ya], • • • ka, amāvāsyā, Sunday, solar eclipse. The English equivalent of the date is A.D. 1053, November 13, Saturday, (·20), on which day occurred the only solar eclipse of the year. The lunar month was evidently Kārttika.

The inscription is much damaged and mutilated. It refers itself to the reign of Traiḷōkyamalladēva (Sōmēśvara I) and mentions a subordinate (name lost) of the king who bore the title ‘the lord of Bēṅgīpura’ and was governing over Purigeṟe Three Hundred and another (name lost); probably Belvoḷa Three Hundred division. It registers a grant of land and refers to Rudraśakti-Jīya, Kētimayya, the god Svayaṁbhu-Trikaṇṭīśvara and Tribhuvanaśakti-Jīya.

The record is dated Śaka 975, Jaya, • • • •, Monday, Uttarāyaṇa-saṅkrānti. In Jaya, Uttarāyaṇa-saṅkrānti occurred not on Monday but on the previous Saturday—December 24, A.D. 1054. For the difference of two days, see Ind. Eph. Vol. I, Part I, page 4, para. 14.

The cyclic year Jaya coincided with Śaka 976 (expired).

The inscription is damaged and refers itself to the reign of Trailōkyamalladēva (Sōmēśvara I). It seems to register a gift of land made to the god Akkēśvara of Sūṇḍi by Perggaḍe Nāgadēvayya and other officers assembled at the nelevīḍu Vikramapura, while Akkādēvī was governing Kisukāḍu Seventy, Toṟagare Sixty and Māsiyavāḍi One Hundred and Forty.
