⟨SIIv18p0i0001⟩ No. 1. (B.K. No. 14 of 1932-33.) DĒVAGĒRI, HAVERI TALUK, DHARWAR DISTRICT.

Stone on the tank bund near the temple of Yellamma.

Vikramāditya I—(Date lost).

This fragmentary record mentions [Vi]kramāditya Satyā[śray]a. It seems to register a certain gift made at the request of Kali-Sinda.

The characters in which the record is engraved, belong to about the 7th century A.D. It is interesting to note that a portion of the record is written in Sanskrit and the praśasti of the Chālukya family, usually found only in copper-plate grants, is given here.

Vijaya[ditya]-(Date lost).

This record is engraved in characters of about the 8th century A.D. and it seems to refer itself to the reign of Vijayā[ditya]. Being fragmentary and mutilated, its purport cannot be made out.

Vijayāditya—(Undated).

This inscription engraved in characters of about the 8th century A.D., states that an individual (name lost), from Uttarāpatha built a temple (for the god Arjunīśvara), installed in it an image of Nandīśvara also, and made a gift of some land to the god Arjunīśvara. Banniyūr (modern Bannikop) where the temple was erected, was under the administration of the Mahājanas (of the place). ⟨Page 3⟩

Vikramāditya—(Date lost).

This fragmentary record engraved in characters of about the 7-8th century A.D., refers itself to the reign of [Vi]kramāditya, apparently one of the Chālukya rulers of that name, and a certain Rēvaṇṇa. In the absence of the date or other details, it is difficult to identify the king.

Vāṇasatti-Arasa—(Undated).

This inscription, engraved in characters of about the 6-7th century A.D., refers to Vāṇasatti-arasa and his son governing [Mū]ḷuṅgu[nda] and Siri[gu*]ppe respectively and ⟨Page 5⟩ mentions Kundasatti-arasa and Vākka[ṭa]kaṇadē[vi]. Vāṇasatti and Kundasatti appear to belong to the Sēndraka family, the names of the princes of which usually end in Satti (Skt. Śakti). It is likely that Vāka[ṭ]akaṇadē[vi] belongs to the Vākāṭaka family.

Vāṇasatti-arasa is not known from any other record.

This short inscription bearing no date refers itself to the reign of Akālavarsha. It records the death of two heroes, Dāsamma and Eṟeya of Surageyūr, in some local affray. The record is engraved in characters of the 8th century A.D. and Fleet has assigned it to the reign of Kṛishṇa I. It is published in Epigraphia Indica Vol. VI, pp. 160 ff.

This damaged inscription referring itself to the reign of Prabhūtavarsha, records the death of a hero (name lost). A certain Kauṇḍala is mentioned. On the grounds of palaeography the king may be identified with Gōvinda III.

This inscription referring itself to the reign of Jagattuṅga, records the death of Baḻiya Rēcha-gāmuṇḍa during the destruction of Saṁgavūru, when [Da]ntiga was ⟨Page 6⟩ governing the nāḍu. Gāmile, probably his wife, erected the memorial. The characters belong to 9th century A.D.

Gōvinda (III)—(Undated).

This badly damaged inscription referring itself to the reign of Prabhūtavarsha, seems to record a gift of land. Since it is badly effaced and the details are lost, it is difficult to identify Prabhūtavarsha of the record. On grounds of palaeography, however, it may be ascribed to Gōvinda III.

Amōghavarsha I—A.D. 860.

This inscription referring itself to the reign of Amōghavarsha, is dated in Śaka 782 expired (or 783 current), Vikrama, Āśvina, Pūrṇimā, lunar eclipse. The date corresponds to A.D. 860, October 3, Thursday.

It records that Amōghavarśha, residing at his capital Mānyakhēṭa, granted the village of Taleyūru and some land in other villages to the Jaina sage Dēvēndra, the disciple of Trikālayōgīśa, of Pustakagachchha, Dēśīya-gaṇa and Mūla-saṁgha. The grant was made at the request of the officer Baṅkēs11a of the Sellakētana family.

The record is engraved in characters of about the 11-12th century A.D., and it is stated to have been the copy of a copper-plate grant got rewritten by Vīranandi, at the request of Huliyamarasa, the mahāprabhu of Koḷanūra and others. The inscription gives a detailed genealogy of Vīranandi. The record is published in Epigraphia Indica, Vol. VI, pp. 25 ff.

Amōghavarsha I—A.D. 866.

This badly damaged and worn out inscription mentions Amōghavarsha. Only the following details of the date, viz., Vyaya, Jyēshṭha and grahaṇa are preserved. The year Vyaya coincided with A.D. 866-67, when Amōghavarsha I was ruling. It also coincided with A.D. 927. But in this year, there was no eclipse in the month of Jyēshṭha. In A.D. 866, however, there was a solar eclipse in Jyēshṭha, i.e., on June 16, Sunday. This probably is the intended date. Hence this record may be assigned to Amōghavarsha I. The mention of Dēvaṇṇayya strengthens this surmise for it is known from other records that Dēvaṇṇayya was governing Beḷvola Threehundred when Amōghavarsha I was ruling. It also mentions Kundeya-seṭṭi and the village Chiñchala.

Amōghavarsha I—(Undated).

This inscription refers itself to the reign of Amōghavarsha and states that Tivuḷara Māramma-Gōsāsi set up a mēṇṭi when Inda, who is described as priya-tanay-ātmaja of Amōghavarsha, is stated to be governing Banavāsi Twelve-thousand. His wife Gōyindabbe was administering the village i.e., Dēvagēri and Kaliyamma was holding the office of nāḻgāmuṇḍu. The record is engraved in characters of the 9th century A.D. ⟨Page 9⟩

Kṛishṇa II—A.D. 901-02.

This inscription, referring itself to the reign of Akālavarsha, is dated in Śaka 823, Durmati, corresponding to A.D. 901-02. It registers a gift made by Piṭṭamme when Lōkaṭe was governing Banavāsi Twelve-thousand. It states that the stone was set up by Asagabbe, the mother of Niṭṭallara Māramma, when Chikkaṁbara Bijja was the nāḷgāvuṇḍa of Sattiyaḷge Seventy and Budda was the ūrgāvuṇḍa.

Lōkaṭe of this record is apparently the same as Lōkaṭe or Lōkāditya of the Chellakētana family who is stated in other records to be governing Banavāsi-nāḍu as a subordinate of Kṛishṇa II.

Kṛishṇa II—A.D. 907-08.

This inscription referring itself to the reign of Akālavarsha (apparently Kṛishṇa II), is engraved in cursive characters, and is dated in Śaka 829, Prabhava, corresponding to A.D. 907-08. No further details of the date are given. It states that when Rājāti (Rājāditya) was governing Banavāsi-nāḍu, Saruvvayya-seṭṭi son of Permmāḍi Nāyiga died in a fight. It also states that his brother Chika-seṭṭi set up the stone.

Kṛishṇa II—(Undated).

This undated inscription refers itself to the reign of Kannaradēva and registers a gift of land made by nāḷgāmuṇḍa Āychaṇṇa, Pālayya and Bāsayya, when Lōkaṭṭe was governing Banavāsi Twelve-thousand and his son Kaliviṭṭa was governing Punnavanti Twelve.

From other records it is known that Lōkaṭe (or Lōkāditya) was governing Banavāsi Twelve-thousand under Kṛishṇa II and that he was the son of Baṅkeya of the Chellakētana family who was the general of Amōghavarsha I. Kaliviṭṭa also is referred to in other records as the governor of Banavāsi-nāḍu under Kṛishṇa III. The present inscription discloses for the first time that Kaliviṭṭa was the son of Lōkaṭe. It is quite possible that when Lōkaṭe was the governor of Banavāsi Twelve-thousand, his son Kaliviṭṭa was administering a smaller division, i.e., Punnavanti Twelve and later on, under Kṛishṇa III, became the governor of Banavāsi Twelve-thousand. So, the record will have to be ascribed to the reign of Kṛishṇa II. ⟨Page 11⟩

Kṛishṇa II—(Date lost).

This broken and damaged inscription refers itself to the reign of Kannaradēva. Only a portion of the praśasti of the king is preserved. In the absence of details it is difficult to identify the king. On the grounds of palaeography, however, the record may be ascribed to Kṛishṇa II.

This inscription refers itself to the reign of Indara Ballaha i.e., Indra III and is dated in Śaka 837, Yuva, corresponding to A.D. 915-16. Further details of the date are not given. It mentions a certain Dhōra as governing the Banavāsi-nāḍu and Āychaṇṇa as the nāḻgāvuṇḍa of Kuḍuvaṇṇagaṇḍa Seventy and Iṭṭage Thirty. It is badly damaged.

Indra III—A.D. 916.

This inscription refers itself to the reign of Indara Vallabha (Indra III) and is dated in Śaka 837, Īśvara, Kārtika, śu. Pūrṇimā, Lunar eclipse. Taking the cyclic year to be of the northern cycle, the date corresponds to A.D. 916, October 13, Sunday. On this day there was a lunar eclipse. It records the gift of a chitra-gōsāsa made by a certain gauṇḍa (name lost) with the blessings of the Mahājanas of Keṛevūr and Tāṇagundūr when Baṁkeya was governing Banavāsi-nāḍu and Āychaṇṇa was the nāḻgāmuṇḍa of Kuḍuvaṇṇegaṇḍa Seventy and Iṭṭige Thirty. It also refers to the construction of tanks and a temple and grant of money. It was written by Dēvaṇṇa. Mentions Māgundura (present Hirēmāganūr ?).

In another inscription belonging to the reign of Indra III (No. 23 below) a Baṅkeya belonging to the Chellakētana family is mentioned as governing Banavāsināḍu. It is quite likely that Baṅkeya of the present record is the same as Baṅkeya of the Chellakētana family. ⟨Page 13⟩

It seems to register a settlement made regarding the revenue of Baṭṭakeṛe between Mahāśrīmanta, the governor of Beḷvala Three-hundred and the Mahājanas of the place.

Indra III—A.D. 928.

This inscription refers itself to the reign of Nityavarshadēva Nirupama Vallabha and is dated in Śaka 850, Sarva[dhāri], Pushya, śu. 10, Thursday, Saṁkrānti. The date is irregular. On the given tithi, the week-day was Wednesday, not Thursday. The Saṁkrānti occurred on the previous day, i.e., Tuesday. According to the given tithi, the date corresponds to A.D. 928, December 24, Wednesday. ⟨Page 15⟩

The record registers a gift, probably of [gōsaha]sra, in the presence of the Mahājanas of Nareyaṁgallu, when Mahāsāmanta Baṁkeya of the Chellakētana family was governing Banavāsi and Siṁgayya was administering Keṛeyūru.

[Amōgha]varsha II—A.D. 928-29.

This mutilated inscription refers itself to the reign of [Amōgha]varsha. The date, partially preserved, mentions the cyclic year Sarvadhāri. It records the death of a hero (name lost) and mentions Kaliviṭṭarasa, probably as governing Beḷvola Three-hundred. In records of Kṛishṇa III, one Kaliviṭṭa is mentioned as the governor of Banavāsi-nāḍu. It is likely that Kaliviṭṭa of the present record is the same as the latter and that he was governing Beḷvola Three-hundred before he became the governor of Banavāsi-nāḍu. In that case, Amōghavarsha referred to in the record may have to be identified with Amōghvarsha II who ruled for a short period. In his time the cyclic year Sarvadhāri coincided with A.D. 928-29.

This inscription of the time of Prabhūtavarsha is dated in Śaka 840, Pramāthi, Makara-Saṁkramaṇa in Pushya. The given Saṁkramaṇa occurred on December 23, Wednesday, A.D. 918. It may be noted that on this date his predecessor Indra III was still on the throne. (See Epigraphia Indica, Vol. XXVI, pp. 161 ff.).

It records a grant of land to a tank, made by Nanniveḍaṅga, at the instance of Dhōra. Also a grant of money by different classes of people to the tank called Kaṇṇamageṟe, (apparently the same as above), to be given at the time of marriages is recorded. Ravi Nāgabhaṭṭa is stated to be the composer of the record.

Kṛishṇa III—A.D. 945.

This pillar contains three inscriptions, engraved on all its sides. The first of them, in Nāgarī characters and Sanskrit language, refers itself to the reign of Akālavarsha (Kṛishṇa III), son of Amōghavarsha. It is dated in Śaka 867, Plavaṅga, Bhādrapada, Piṭriparva, Kujavāra (Tuesday), Solar eclipse. In Epigraphia Indica, Volume IV, page 58, where this record has been edited, Kielhorn gives the English equivalent as A.D. 945, September 9, Tuesday. It records a grant of land made by the Brāhmaṇa Chakrāyudha, son of Gōvindabhaṭṭa, of Pāviṭṭage, to the śālā (School) of that place constructed by Gajāṅkuśa-Nārāyaṇa, the minister of Kṛishṇarāja. Nārāyaṇa was the resident of Kamchinamuduvoḷal in the Māhisha-vishaya. Pāviṭṭage is stated to be in the Karṇapurī-vishaya.

The second inscription states that the śālā referred to above was rebuilt by Kañchiga of the Seḷaṟa family. This record is not dated. ⟨Page 17⟩

The third one which is also not dated, records a grant of land to the dog Trayīpurushadēva of the śālā of agrahāra Pāviṭṭage, by Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Gōvaṇarasa of the Śilāhāra family. It is engraved in characters of 11-12th century A.D.

All these inscriptions are published in Epigraphia Indica, Vol. IV, pp. 57 ff. The following corrections may be made in the published texts:—

A. First face, in line 21, for Kāṁchanamuduvōl = iti read Kaṁchina-Muduvoḷal = iti. The footnote 8 is not necessary.

C. First face, in line 15, for Bāḍaḷe read bāḍada. In line 18, for ḷa-kōlal-innūṟu read da-kōlal = innūṟu and for Keyyu ma[gau] read Keyyuma[gō].

Kṛishṇa III—A.D. 957.

This inscription referring itself to the reign of Kanharadēva, is dated in Śaka 879, Piṅgaḷa, Ās11vayuja, śu. Pañchami, Thursday. The details correspond to A.D. 957, September 1, which was a Tuesday and not Thursday, as stated in the record. It may be noted, however, that ba. 5 of the same month, (i.e., September 17) was a Thursday. The king is stated to be ruling the kingdom from Mēlpāṭi.

It states that when his feudatory Tailapayya, was governing the nāḍu, a grant of land was made to a tank called Saṁbayyana-keṟe. The name of the donor is lost.

Kṛishṇa III—A.D. 961.

This inscription, referring itself to the reign of Akālavarsha Kannaradēva, is dated in Śaka 884, Dundubhi, Pushya śu. 13, Sunday, Uttarāyaṇa-saṁkrānti. The date is slightly irregular. The S11aka year cited is the current year corresponding to Dundubhi of the northern cycle. The given tithi corresponded in that year to A.D. 961, December 22, Sunday. The Uttarāyaṇa-saṁkranti occurred on the following Monday, December 23. Consequently Akālavarsha Kannaradēva referred to in this record is to be identified with Kṛishṇa III.

It records that fifty-five gadyāṇas were given to the Mahājanas of Posavūr, and states that Biṇaga, son of Mārakka, would acquire the merit of feeding a Brāhmaṇa on the day of Saṁkrānti. Apparently Biṇaga was responsible for the gift. It is also stated that Garvindara was governing Banavase-nāḍu at that time. The inscription is published in Epigraphia Indica, Vol. XVI, p. 285.

On grounds of palaeography, the record may be assigned to the reign of Kṛishṇa III. From the context it would appear that the king had the title Vikramāditya. But we do not know from any other source that this king had this title.

It records the death of a hero (name lost) of Hāvari in a cattle-raid, when Kaliviṭṭa was governing Banavāsi-dē[śa]. Senemallara-Mallapa is stated to have been holding the office of nāḷgāmuṇḍu at that time. The characters are of the 10th century A.D. It may be noted that Kaliviṭṭa referred to above, figures in other records of Kṛishṇa III as the governor of Banavāsi. He belonged to the Chellakētana family. On these grounds the record may be assigned to the reign of Kṛishṇa III.

Kṛishṇa III—(Undated).

This record refers itself to the reign of Kannaradēva and registers a gift of land and oil-mill to Bashari (probably mistake for Bhaṭāri, i.e., goddess) when Ga[rvi]ndara was governing Banavāsi-dēśa, Pampayya was administering Goṭṭegaḷi and Nāgavarma was holding the office of nāḻgāṁuṇḍu. Kaṇḍamma is stated to have set up the stone.

As Garvindara figures also in another inscription of Kṛishṇa III, as governing Banavāsi-nāḍu (Cf. No. 28 above), Kannaradēva of this record may be identified with Kṛishṇa III.

Khoṭṭiga-A.D. 971.

This inscription refers itself to the reign of Koṭṭigadēva and is dated in Śaka 893, Āṅgira, Āshāḍha Amāvāsyā, Sunday, Rōhiṇi-nakshatra, Solar eclipse. The date is irregular. In Saka 893, the cyclic year cited was of the northern cycle; in that year ⟨Page 21⟩ the tithi cited corresponded to A.D. 971, June 25, Sunday. But the nakshatra was not Rōhiṇī nor did a solar eclipse occur on that day. If Āṅgirasa of the southern cycle is taken, then, the Śaka year would be 894 but the week-day and the nakshatra do not correspond. Nor was there a solar eclipse on that day. The only solar eclipse in that year occurred on October 22, Sunday, but on that day the nakshatra was not Rōhiṇī. In the previous year, however, a solar eclipse occurred on May 8th Sunday, when the nakshatra was Rōhiṇī. But the month was not Āshāḍha.

It records the death of Bīra-Nāgiyaṇa, son of Kuṇḍuṟara Eṟeyamma, in a cattleraid. Mārasiṅga was the nāḻgāvuṇḍa and Guttiya Gaṅga was governing Purigeṟe Three-hundred and Beḷvala Three-hundred. It is also stated that Vaṟeviṭa, the son of Kuṇḍuṟara Eṟeyamma died in a fight.

Jagattuṅga—(Undated).

This inscription refers itself to the reign of Jagattuṅga and speaks of a fight, followed by an attack on Pīga, the nāḷgāvuṇḍa of Bandanike by his kinsmen, when • • ditya was governing Banavāsi Twelve-thousand. The record is damaged and mutilated. ⟨Page 22⟩

It is very likely that the partly preserved name of the governor of Banavāsi is Rājāditya. From other records we know that Rājāditya was the governor of Banavāsi Twelve-thousand during the reign of Kṛishṇa II. If he is the Rājāditya of the present record, then it follows that he continued to govern Banavāsi Twelvethousand even after the reign of Kṛishṇa II, in which case Jagattuṅga referred to in the present record would be Jagattuṅga II, son of Kṛishṇa II. But there is no other evidence to show that Jagattuṅga II succeeded his father to the throne.

This badly damaged and mutilated inscription is engraved in characters of about the 10th century. Only the letters Varisha, apparently the last part of the name of a Rāshṭrakūṭa king, are preserved. It seems to register a gift of land. Banavāsi Twelvethousand is mentioned. A Chaḷuki chief named Ayyappa is also mentioned.

Broken stone in the field of Vālikāra Rāmanāyaka.

(Date lost).

This record, engraved in characters of 9-10th century is dated in the cyclic year Sarvajit. Further details of the date are lost. Since it refers to a reigning king and since at that time there was no other ruling family in this region except that of the Rāshṭrakūṭas, it is possible that the record belongs to the reign of a Rāshṭrakuṭa king. The year Sarvajit occurs thrice (in A.D. 807, 867 and 927) during the Rāshṭrakūṭa period.

It refers to a certain Āyichavarmarasa as bhōgapati and a chief (name lost) of Māṭṭara (i.e., Māṭūra) family. This is the earliest known reference to Māṭūra family. Satyaḷge seventy and Kuḷuga-gāmuṇḍa of the Chikkamba family are mentioned. It seems to register a gift of land made to a certain Vṛishabhaṇandi-Gorava. The record is broken on both the sides.

A.D. 993.

This fragmentary inscription is dated in Śaka 915, Vijaya, Jyēshṭha śu. 3, Friday. In the year cited there were two Jyēshṭhas, and the tithi śu. 3 fell in those months, on April 27, A.D. 993, Thursday and May 26, Friday, f.d.t. ·04. The latter apparently is the intended date.

It mentions Śōbhnarasa as governing Banavāsi-dēśa and the division of Two Sixhundreds. This Śōbhanarasa is probably the same as the feudatory of Taila II and Iṟivabeḍaṅga Satyāśraya of the Later Chālukya family of Kalyāṇa (Cf. Bombay Karnatak Inscriptions, Vol. I, pt. I, Nos 47 and 50).

This inscription, referring itself to the reign of Āhavamalladēva, is dated in Śaka 915, Jaya, Āshāḍha Amāvāsyā, Sunday, Solar eclipse. The Śaka year quoted is the ⟨Page 26⟩ expired year. The details correspond to A.D. 994, October 7, Sunday. But there was no solar eclipse on that day; it occurred, however, in that year on Pushya Amāvāsyā corresponding to A.D. 995, January 4, Friday.

It records the grant of certain taxes to the Two-hundred Mahājanas of the agrahāra town Kākaṇḍike (modern Kākhaṇḍki). It is interesting to note that Mānyakhēḍa (modern Maḷkhēḍ) was the capital of the king.

Jayasiṁha II—(A.D. 1017).

The tithi and the nakshatra do not coincide, nor was the week-day Sunday. The tithi given, corresponds to A.D. 1017, December 25. The week-day was Thursday.

It states that Siriyāgararasa of the Māṭūra family was administering the Two Seventy (districts) and the Five Twelve (divisions), when a certain Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara (name lost) was governing Banavāsi Twelve-thousand and his brother Mūkarasa was governing some other division (name lost).

Slab in front of the temple of Durgā-Paramēśvarī.

Jayasiṁhā II—A.D. 1019.

This inscription, belonging to the reign of Jagadēkamalla Jayasiṁha, is dated in Śaka 941, Siddhārtha, Uttarāyaṇa-Saṁkrānti. The month, tithi and the week-day are not given. In the cyclic year Siddhārtha, the Uttarāyaṇa-Saṁkrānti occurred on Thursday, A.D. 1019, December 24.

It states that when Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Kundarāja was governing Banavāsi Twelve-thousand, his wife Jōgabbe, who was administering Ajjaḍi, made a grant of and to the temple of Sahadēvēs11vara. The construction of the temple is stated to have been begun by Sahadēva in Śaka 919, (randhra-chandra-nidhi) when he was the gāvuṇḍa of Ajjaḍi. Jōgabbe is stated to be the daughter of Barma and anu-sute of Rāchamalla. The gift was made at the request of Rāchamalla, who became Seṭṭivāḷa after his elder brother Sahadēva.

The record refers to the construction of a temple by Rāchamalla and also records the grant of land made by Sahadēva at the time of laying the foundation stone (kesar-kal) of the temple. Names are also mentioned of four dancing girls dedicated to the service of the temple by Sādēvayya (i.e., Sahadēvayya).

Mention is made of a certain Mummuni as an adversary of Kundarasa. It is not impossible that this Mummuni is the same as Mummuṇi of the Silāhāra family of Northern Konkaṇ. The earliest date, however, so far known, of this Mummuṇi is A.D. 1049.

Jayasiṁha II—A.D. 1025.

This inscription, referring itself to the reign of [Ja]gadēkamalladēva, is dated in Śaka 947, Ās11vayuja śu. Pañchami, Monday. The cyclic year is lost. Śaka 947 coincided with the cyclic year Krōdhana. But the details are irregular. The tithi cited corresponded to A.D. 1025, September 29; the week-day, however, was Wednesday.

It states that when Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Kundamarasa, the son of Iṟiva[beḍaṅga]dēva was governing Banavāsi Twelve-thousand and Sēnavallara Kaṇṇamma was administering Bāsavura Hundred-and-forty, a certain person (name lost) obtained the gāvuṇḍutana of Karbūr (modern Kabbūr, where the record is found).

Jayasiṁha II—A.D. 1025.

This record, referring itself to the reign of Jagadēkamalladēva, is dated in Śaka 947, Krōdhana, Chaitra, ba. 3, Thursday. The tithi cited corresponded to ⟨Page 34⟩ A.D. 1025, March 20, which was Saturday and not Thursday. Chaitra śu. 3 fell on March 4, Thursday, f.d.t. ·31. In the next year, however, i.e., Kshaya, the given tithi occurred on Thursday, corresponding to A.D. 1026, April 7.

The record is very badly damaged and the purport cannot be made out. It refers to a governor of Banavāsi Twelve-thousand and the gāvuṇḍa of Kōḷūr. But the names of these persons are lost.

Jayasiṁha II—A.D. 1028.

This inscription, referring itself to the reign of Jagadēkamalla Jayasiṁhadēva, is dated Śaka 950, Vibhava, Pushya śu. Pañchami, Monday, Uttarāyaṇa-Saṁkramaṇa corresponding to A.D. 1028, December 23, Monday, f.d.t. ·07.

It states that when Kuṁdarāja, the son of Iṟivabeḍaṅgadēva was governing Banavāsī Twelve-thousand and Payve-nāḍu with his wife Kundaladēvi, the latter made a gift of land for the benefit of a temple and entrusted it to Saṁkarāsi-jiya. The gift is stated to have been made when Kaṇṇamma was the nāḷgāvuṇḍa of Bāsavūr hundred-and-forty and Kallayya, the son of Puṇuseyamma of Bāḷguḷi, was the gāvuṇḍa of Siguṇūr. The inscription is published in Epigraphia Indica, Vol. XV, pp. 329 ff. The following corrections in the text may be noted:—

In line 16 for Thāṇiya read rāṇiya.

In line 38 for r = āchāryya read Rāchayya.

Jayasiṁha II—A.D. 1033.

This inscription, referring itself to the reign of Jagadēkamalladēva, is dated in Śaka 955, Śrīmukha, Mārgaśira Amāvāsyā, Monday, Uttarāyaṇa-Saṁkrānti, Solar eclipse. The date is irregular. In the cyclic year Śrīmukha, Mārgaśira Amāvasyā fell on November 24, A.D. 1033, which was a Saturday. There was also no solar eclipse on that day. The only solar eclipse which occurred in that year was on Āshāḍha Amāvāsyā, i.e., June 29, Friday.

It registers a grant of certain privileges to Vaijayya and his brother Sōvimayya, the ūroḍeya, of the agrahāra town Beḷgali. The gift was made by Mahāsāmantādhipati Chikk-Āycharasa, when he was governing Sattaḷige Seventy. He is described as the son (maga) of Jayasiṅgadēva. It is also stated that Uttavayya of the Chikkaṁba family was the nāḷgāvuṇḍa and that the gift was made in the presence of Ēchimayyanāyaka and nāḍa-karaṇa Mārasiṅgha. It also registers a supplementary grant of land to god Mahādēva (by Uttavayya). ⟨Page 36⟩

Jayasiṁha II—A.D. 1033.

This incomplete record refers itself to the reign of Jagadēkamalla and is dated in Śaka 958, Śrīmukha, Pushya śu. Pūrṇimā, Sunday. The cyclic year Śrīmukha coincided with Śaka 955 and in that year the tithi cited fell on December 8, A.D. 1033, which was a Saturday. In Śaka 958, the details do not work out correctly. The palaeography and the mistake in date raise a doubt regarding the genuineness of the record.

Jayasiṁha II—A.D. 1034.

This record, belonging to the reign of Jagadēkamalla Jayasiṁhadēva, is dated in Śaka 956, Bhāva, Vaiśākha s11u. Akshatṛitīyā Sunday. The details correspond to A.D. 1034 April-23; the week day, however, was Tuesday.

It states that, when pergaḍe Mādiṇayya was governing Banavāsi-dēśa and Kaliyamarasa was the nāḻgāmuṇḍa of Bāsavūr Hundred-and-forty, the king made a gift to god Sahadēvēśvara of Ajjaḍi. The gift was made from the royal camp at Poṭṭaḷakeṟe, at the request of Lakshmādēvi, probably his queen. It was made into the hands of Śrīkaṇṭha-bhaṭṭāraka. Chāvuṇḍamayya, son of Sahadēvayya, is stated to be holding the office of gāvuṇḍu (of Ajjaḍi) at that time.

Jayasiṁha II—A.D. 1033.

This inscription, referring itself to the reign of Jagadēkamalladēva, is dated in Śaka 958, Srīmukha, Vaiśākha śu. Pūrṇimā, Sunday, Uttarāyaṇa-Saṁkrānti. The date is irregular. The cyclic year Śrīmukha coincided with Śaka 955 and in that year Vaiśākha śu. Pūrṇimā fell on April 7, A.D. 1033, Tuesday. It was not a day of any Saṁkrānti. The details do not work out correctly in Śaka 958 either. It appears from the characters in which the record is engraved, that it belongs to a much laterperiod (about 12th century) than the date to which it purports to belong. The mention of Anantapāḷa, the famous general of Vikramāditya VI, and the palaeography raise a doubt regarding the genuineness of the record.

It registers a grant of land made by Mahāpradhāna, Sēnādhipati Ānandapāḷar, daṇḍanāyaka (also spelt as Ānantapāḷa and Anantapāḷa) for the worship of and offerings to god Narasiṁhadēva of Jalamaṇṭapa at Vijayāpura which is described as rāya-rājadhāni. The land granted is stated to have been purchased from Hiriya Kēśirāja and his son Siṅgarasa. The former was the mahāprabhu of Dantiyahaḷḷi, a suburb (pravishṭa) of Vijayāpura. ⟨Page 39⟩

This record referring itself to the reign of Jagadēkamālla is undated. But since Kundamarasa is mentioned, it may be assigned to Jayasiṁha II. Palaeography supports this. It refers to Mahāsāmantādhipati Kundamarasa as governing Banavāsi Twelve-thousand and to a certain Chanda, as his subordinate.

Jayasiṁha II—(Date lost).

This fragmentary inscription refers itself to the reign of Jagadēkamalladēva who was ruling from the capital Poṭṭaḷakeṛe and mentions a subordinate whose name is lost. Only the imprecatory portion is preserved.

As the characters belong to 10-11th century A.D., the record is assigned to Jayasiṁha II.

Sōmēśvara I—A.D. 1045.

This inscription which refers itself to the reign of Trailōkyamalladēva, is dated in Śaka 967, Pārthiva, Pushya śu. Paṁchami, Sunday, Uttarāyaṇa-Saṁkrānti, corresponding to A.D. 1045, December 15, Sunday, f.d.t. ·64. The Saṁkrānti, however, fell on Tuesday, the 24th December.

It records a grant of land made by Rājagurudēva described as Kadamb-ānvayasamuddharaṇa, and governing the Twelve (Panneraḍuṁ) bāḍa for the benefit of the god Indrēśvaradēva of Baṅkāpura. The gift was entrusted to Mallikārjuna the disciple of Vāmarāśidēva.

Another grant, of houses, for burning a perpetual lamp to the Sun god, made by Kaliyammarasa of the Jīmūtavāhana lineage and Khachara family is also recorded.

The record was written by Sēnabōva Basavayya and was engraved on stone by Bammōja. It is published in Epigraphia Indica, Vol. XIX, p. 180.

Sōmēśvara I—A.D. 1048.

This inscription, referring itself to the reign of Trailōkyamalladēva, is dated in Śaka 970, Sarvadhāri, Pushya śu. 5, Sunday, Uttarāyaṇa-Saṁkramaṇa, corresponding to A.D. 1048, December 11, Sunday f.d.t. ·83. The Saṁkramaṇa, however, fell on Saturday, the 24th December.

It states that when Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Chāvuṇḍarāyarasa was governing Banavāsi Twelve-thousand and Sāntaiḷge Thousand, Barmadēva's son Kumāra Jōmadēvarasa, who was governing Bāsavura Hundred-and-forty, went to Mallavura and made a grant of land to the god of that place. The gift was entrusted to Tribhuvanasiṅga-jīya. The composer of the record is described as being well-versed in all Śāstras. The record is damaged at places.

It may be noted in this connection that, in No. 69 below, Jōmadēvarasa is called the son of Chāvuṇḍarāya. But in No. 73, Barmadēva is stated to be the brother of Chāvuṇḍarāya. It is possible that in the present record Barmadēva is mistakenly stated to be his son. In No. 69, Jōmadēvarasa is called the son of Chāvuṇḍarāya perhaps because he was the son of the brother of Chāvuṇḍarāya. This practice is not unusual in the Kannaḍa country. ⟨Page 47⟩

Broken slab near the Rāmēśvara temple.

A.D. 1048.

This inscription, the beginning of which is broken away and lost, is dated in Śaka 970, Sarvadhāri, Pushya ba. Bidige, Sunday, Uttarāyaṇa-Saṁkrāṁti, corresponding to A.D. 1048, December 25, Sunday. The Saṁkrānti occurred on Saturday the 24th.

It records the grant of the village Ānevari to the holy place Rāmatirtha in Raṭṭapaḷḷi Seventy. The gift was entrusted to [Dha]vaḷa Gōṇiyadēva, the disciple of Āneyadēva. The names of this donee and his teacher (guru) appear to have been engraved later on, after erasing the original ones.

It also records a grant of land to some women, to musicians and dancing girls in the service of the temple, to the free students hostel (Vidyā-chhatra) to a certain Māchimayya of Brahmapuri and for worship and offerings in the temple.

The gift was made by Chāmuṇḍarāyarasa and Kētarasa. The latter was governing Raṭṭapaḷḷi Seventy and Iṭṭage Thirty. One Chāmuṇḍarāya who was governing Banavāsi Twelve-thousand is known to have been a subordinate of Sōmēśvara I. It is probable that he is the same as the Chāmuṇḍarāya of this record.

Slab in the temple of Mallikārjuna.

Sōmēśvara I—A.D. 1051.

This damaged inscription refers itself to the reign of Trailōkyamalladēva and is dated in Śaka 973, Khara, Āśvayuja s11u. Wednesday. The tithi is lost. In Āśvayuja Śuddha-paksha, the week-day given, coincided with the tithis Tṛitīyā and Daśami, corresponding to A.D. 1051, September 11 and 18 respectively.

It states that Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Chāvuṇḍarāya, the governor of Banavāsi Twelve-thousand, granted the village Nāgarapāḷ situated in Sattaḷige Seventy and some land for the maintenance of a maṭha and of the students studying therein and ⟨Page 51⟩ for the worship and offerings to the god (of the place). Lōkābharaṇa-paṇḍita of the Kāḷāmukha sect, the recipient of the gift, is highly praised. The nāḷgāvuṇḍa of Sattaḷige Seventy and the gāuṇḍa of Beṇṇevura are mentioned. The names of both of them are lost.

Sōmēśvara I—A.D. 1059.

This inscription referring itself to the reign of Trailōkyamalladēva, is dated in Śaka 981, Vikāri, Śrāvaṇa śu. 2, Sunday. But for the week-day, the details ⟨Page 55⟩ correspond to A.D. 1059, July 14, which was a Wednesday. In the next year, however, i.e., A.D. 1060, Śrāvaṇa s11u. 2 fell on Sunday, July 2.

It states that Rājāditya of the Jimūtavāhana lineage and Khachara family who was the nārgāvuṇḍa of the division of Hundred-and-Forty (apparently Bāsavūr), having gone with his wife Paṁpādēvi, to Mallavura, made a gift of land and of taxes, for the tank of that place. Another grant of land for the same tank made by Mahālāḷasandhivigrahi, Manevergaḍe and Daṇḍanāyaka Guṇḍamayya is also recorded.

This inscription, referring itself to the reign of Trailōkyamalladēva, is dated in Śaka 984, Śubhakṛit, Bhādrapada Amāvāsyā, Sunday, corresponding probably to A.D. 1062, July 8, Monday (not Sunday), on which day the Amāvāsyā commenced at. ·28.

It records a grant of money and certain taxes to the attendants (pādamūlaparivāra) (of the temple of Indrēśvara) made by paḍevaḷa Bīrayya, pergaḍe Ālimayya, pergaḍe Srīdharayya and others, with the permission of Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Tōyiladēva of the Kadamba family when they were camping at Payiṭṭhāṇa. It is stated that pergaḍe Chāvuṇḍayya of Indrēśvarapura and others were called to that place at the time of making the gift. Paḍevaḷa Bīrayya is described as Kadamba-rājya samuddharaṇa.

Tōyiladēva is stated to be the governor of Banavāsi Twelve-thousand and Pānuṅgal Five-hundred. Varuṇaśivapaṇḍitadēva, the rājaguru of Bhuvanaikamalla was in charge of twelve (panneraḍu) bāḍa, the property of the temple of Indrēs11varadēva of Baṅkāpura.

Sōmēśvara I—A.D. 1062.

This inscription refers itself to the reign of Trailōkyamalladēva and is dated in Śaka 984, Sōbhkaṛit, Mārgaśira ba. Pāḍiva, Sunday. The week day is wrong. The given tithi which corresponds to A.D. 1062, November 20, fell on Wednesday. It is ⟨Page 58⟩ stated that on the tithi cited, a certain grant was made on account of the lunar eclipse. This eclipse occurred on the previous day, viz., November 19, Tuesday when Pratipadā commenced at ·51.

It registers a grant of land, an oil-mill and a garden for worship and offerings to god Siddhēs11varadēva. The gift was made by Kētaladēvi queen of Trailōkyamalladēva (Sōmēs11vara I) while residing at Kālyāṇa. She is stated to be administering the agarhāra town Ponnavāḍa (modern Honavāḍ) situated in the district of Bāge Fifty included in the division of Six-hundred situated in Tardavāḍi Thousand.

In continuation of this record is engraved in the same hand, another inscription belonging to the reign of Bhuvanaikamalla (Sōmēs11vara II) and dated in Śaka 995. Presumably the record of the time of Sōmēs11vara I also was put on stone on the latter date though the grant was actually made on the date mentioned in the record.

Stone pillars of a tōraṇa in the temple of Banaśaṅkari.

Sōmēs11vara I—A.D. 1063.

This inscription, referring itself to the reign of Trailōkymalladēva, is dated in Śaka 984, Śubhakṛit, Phālguṇa s11u. 13, Thursday, corresponding to A.D. 1063, February 13, Thursday, f.d.t. ·02.

It states that when Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Chāvuṇḍarāyarasa was governing Banavāsi Twelve-thousand, and his son Mahāsāmanta Kumāra Jōmadēvarasa was administering Bāsavura Hundred-and-forty, Beḷguhe Seventy and Sattaḷige Seventy, Indapayya, the royal body-guard got a makaratōraṇa erected in the temple of Māḷajadēvi at Deyvada-posāvur (modern Dēvihosūr). It may be noted here that this Jōmadēvarasa is stated in No. 60 above, to be the son of Barma who was the son of Chāvuṇḍarāya. In No. 73, below, Barma is called the brother of the latter. It is likely that in No. 60 he is mistakenly called the son.

Lōkanāthayya was the pergaḍe of Three Seventies, and Rājādityarasa of the Jimūtavāhana family was the nāḷgāvuṇḍa of Bāsavūr Hundred-and-forty. The writer of the record is stated to be Dēvanāgayya.

Sōmēśvara I—A.D. 1064.

This inscription which refers itself to the reign of Trailōkyamalladēva contains a grant made by Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Mārarasa, when he was governing Beḷuvala Threehundred. It is dated in Śaka 986, Krōdhi, [lunar] eclipse. The other details of the date are lost. In the cyclic year Krōdhi, there was only one lunar eclipse and it occurred on Monday, A.D. 1064, May 3. This date falls in the reign of Sōmēs11vara I but palaeographically, the record is assignable to a much later period. So it is possible that the grant actually made on the date mentioned above was recorded on a later date. Towards the end of the record a certain Tippa who probably reconstructed the temple is mentioned and another date occurs; but except the month Phālguṇa all other details are lost.

The original grant records a gift of land made, probably by Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Mārarasa, to the god Sōmēśvara of Lokkiguṇḍi. It was entrusted to ⟨Page 63⟩ Tatpurushajīya, the āchārya of the temple of Sōmēśvara. Mārarasa bore the title Chōḷaṁ-goṇḍa.

Sōmēśvara I—A.D. 1066.

This inscription, which refers itself to the reign of Trailōkyamalladēva, is dated in Śaka 988, Parābhava, Pushya s11u. Paṅchami, Sunday, Uttarāyaṇa-Saṁkrānti, corresponding regularly to A.D. 1066, December 24, Sunday.

It states that when Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Lakshmarasa was governing Banavāse Twelve-thousand, his subordinate Āychaṇa built a Jaina shrine and installed therein the image of Śānthinātha-Jina, at Peḷeyagēri (a locality) of Beṇṇevura. Then, after introducing Gōyimmarasa of Chikkamba family and the nārgāvuṇda of Sattaḷige Seventy and his subordinates Ālagāvuṇḍa and others, it records a grant of land made by Lakshmarasa to the basadi built by Āychimayya-nāyaka (same as Āychaṇa above). The gift was entrusted to Śāntiṇandi-Bhaṭṭāraka of Chandrikāvāṭavaṁśa. His spiritual lineage is given.

Sōmēśvara I—(Date lost).

This fragmentary record refers itself to the reign of Trailōkyamalladēva. It mentions Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Chāvuṇḍarāyarasa, the governor of Banavāsi Twelvethousand and his brother Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Barmadēva. It states that the wife (name lost) of Maṇḍalika Jōgapayyarasa, was administering Vommaṟaḍi (modern Hommaraḍi) situated in Bāsavura Hundred-and-forty. The division was being governed by Nelliyammarasa of the Jīmūtavāhana lineage.

The date is lost. On grounds of palaeography the record may be assigned to the reign of Sōmēs11vara I. The mention of Chāvuṇḍarāyarasa as the governor of Banavāsi Twelve-thousand would strengthen this surmise. (See No. 69 above).

Sōmēs11vara II—A.D. 1069.

This inscription referring itself to the reign of Bhuvanaikamalladēva, is dated in Śaka 991, Saumya, Pushya śu. Navami, Thursday, Uttarāyaṇa-saṁkrānti, corresponding to A.D. 1069, December 24, Thursday, f.d.t. ·19.

It states that Kannaḍa-sandhivigrahi, Daṇḍanāyaka Madhuvarasa, described as Chālukya-rājy-ābhyudaya-kāraṇa (the cause of the prosperity of the Chālukyarule), made a grant of land, garden and oil-mills for worship and offerings to god Siddhēs11varadēva of the agrahāra Kākaṇḍige.

The king is stated to have been ruling from the standing camp (nelevīḍu) of Saṅkanakeṟeyūru.

This inscription is the same as No. 110 of S.I.I., Vol. XI, part I. It gives an interesting derivation of the name Paṭṭadakal or Paṭṭadakisuvoḷal. It says that the town was so called on account of its being the place of the coronations of the kings of the Chālukya family. ⟨Page 71⟩

Sōmēs11vara II—A.D. 1072.

This inscription referring itself to the reign of Bhuvanaikamalladēva is dated in Śaka 993, Virōdhikṛit, Pushya, Amāvāsyā, Sunday, Uttarāyaṇa-saṁkrāṅti, lunar eclipse (evidently mistake for solar eclipse). On that day there was no solar eclipse nor did the Uttarāyaṇa-saṁkrānti occur. The tithi corresponded to A.D. 1072, January 22 Sunday, f.d.t., ·15.

It registers a gift of taxes, oil, rice and money made to god Grāmēśvaradēva by pergaḍe Kaṁka (written on account of euphony as Gaṁka), and others. It also, records the grant of land made by Jakkagāvuṇḍa of Kāgenele for worship and offerings to the same god and for the feeding of students and teachers. The gift which is stated to have been made at the instance of Daṇḍanāyaka Appachayya, the officer in charge of vaḍḍarāvuḷa tax was entrusted to Sadyōjāta-paṇḍita of the temple. The king's subordinates pergaḍe Chāvuṇḍayya, Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Barmadēva and Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Parikantadēva, both described as ‘lord of Banavāsi’, are mentioned.

Sōmēśvara II—A.D. 1073.

This inscription refers itself to the reign of Bhuvanaikamalladēva and is dated in Śaka 995, Pramādi, Vaiśākha, Pāḍiva, Thursday. The name of the paksha is lost. In the cyclic year Pramādi, in Vaiśākha, the Pratipadā fell on Thursday. But as it is stated that on this date the gift was made on account of an eclipse, the Pratipadā cited may be taken to be ba. 1, for, on the previous day, i.e., Pūrṇimā, a lunar eclipse occurred. In fact ba. Pratipadā commenced on Wednesday at ·55. The date would thus correspond to A.D. 1073, April 25, Thursday.

It registers a grant (details lost) made by Manevergaḍe, Daṇḍanāayaka Bhāskarabhaṭṭōpādhyāya, when he was administering the agrahāra Ponnavāḍa (modern Honavāḍ). He is described as the ārādhya of the king and is given the epithet ayyaṅgaḷ i.e., preceptor.

Sōmēśvara II—A.D. 1074.

This inscription refers itself to the reign of Bhuvanaikamalladēva and is dated in Śaka 996, Ānanda, Uttarāyaṇa-saṁkrānti, Sunday, Amāvāsyā. The date is irregular. In the cyclic year cited, Uttarāyaṇa-saṁkrānti occurred on Wednesday, 24th December, A.D. 1074 and the Amāvāsyā (of the month Pushya) ended on Saturday, the 20th December.

It registers a gift of land made by ūragāvuṇḍa Bīragāvuṇḍa for offerings and worship of god Kalidēva. The recipient of the gift was Sōvarāsi-paṇḍita. It is stated that at that time Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Udayāditya-Gaṅgapermāḍi was governing Banavāsī Twelve-thousand and Sāntaḷige One-thousand and Mahāsāmanta Gōyimmarasa (also called Gōvimarasa) of the Chikkamba family was the nārgāvuṇḍa of Sattaḷige Seventy. The latter is also stated to have made a gift of land to god Kalidēva of Paśuṇḍi (modern Asuṇḍi).

Sōmēs11vara II—A.D. 1074.

This inscription referring itself to the reign of Bhuvanaikamalladēva is dated in Śaka [996], Ānanda, Pushya śu. 5, Wednesday, Uttarāyaṇa-saṁkrāṇti, corresponding to A.D. 1074, December 24, Wednesday, f.d.t. ·67.

It states that when Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Mārasimha, the Śilāhāra chief, born in the Jīmūtavāhana lineage was governing [Kūṇḍi] Three-thousand, Miriṁje Three-thousand and other regions, a grant of land for a feeding house and a Jaina basadi, was made in the presence of the Mahājanas of Mekkegēri in Naṛuguṇḍa.

Also a grant made for the feeding house by a certain seṭṭi (name lost) is recorded. The record is very badly damaged.

This inscription referring itself to the reign of Bhuvanaikamalladēva is dated in Śaka 996, Ānanda, Pushya s11u. 5, Thursday, Uttarāyāṇa-saṁkrānti, corresponding to A.D. 1074, December 25, Thursday. The Samkrānti however fell on the previous day.

It records a grant of land to god Svayambhu-Siddēs11varadēva of Vijayāpura, by daṇḍanāyaka Nakimayya who requested Ballavarasa who was camping at Vaṅkāpura to have a temple constructed for the god. The gift is stated to have been made for feeding and clothing the students of Yōgēśvara-paṇḍita and the other teachers. Nākimayya was governing Tardavāḍi One-thousand at the time of the gift. The record gives an eulogistic account of the āchārya of the temple Yōgēs11vara-paṇḍita, in Sanskrit verse. It is published in Indian Antiquary, Vol. X, p. 126).

In continuation of this, and in the same characters, is engraved another record referring to Tribhuvanamalla (apparently Vikrāmāditya VI). So it is likely that the grant mentioned above was put on the stone at a later date though actually made on the date cited. ⟨Page 79⟩

This inscription referring itself to the reign of Bhuvanaikamalladēva is dated in Śaka 997, Rākshasa, Pushya śu. 14, Sunday, Uttarayāṇa-saṁkramaṇa. But for the week-day, the details correspond to A.D. 1075, December 24, which was Thursday.

It records a grant of income derived from certain taxes made jointly by Daṇḍanāyaka Veṇṇamayya, the officer in charge of perjuṅka and Nāgavarma and Chikka-Kētayya, the officers in charge of bilkoḍe taxes, for the worship of god Kaṁkāḷēs11varadēva of Dēvaṁgēri. The recipient of the gift was Gaṅgarās11i-paṇḍita. Daṇḍanāyaka Udayāditya and Kaliyammarasa of Jimūtavāhana lineage and Khachara family are stated to be governing Banavāse Twelve-thousand and Bāsavura Hundredand-forty respectively. This is published in Epigraphia Indica, Vol. XIX, pp. 183ff.

Sōmēśvara II—(Date lost).

This inscription, referring itself to the reign of Bhuvanaikamalladēva, gives a description of the military exploits of Lakshmabhūpāḷa, a subordinate of the king. The chief's wife Bhāgaladēvi is highly praised. The genealogy of Māḷabhūpa, the brother-in-law of Lakshmabhūpāḷa is given and it is stated that Māḷaparāja, the grandfather of Māḷabhūpa, obtained certain offices from Satyās11raya (evidently Iṛivābeḍaṅgā Satyās11raya) and continued to hold them during the reign of Jayasiṁha (Jayasiṁha II) and Āhavamalla (Sōmēs11vara I). It is interesting to note that among the offices so obtained by him one related to the regulation etc., of the profession of dancing girls (in temples). The portion of the record, probably containing the date and the details of the grant, is built in.

Vikramāditya VI—A.D. 1078.

This partly preserved inscription is dated in the Chālukya-Vikrama year 3, Kālayukta, Pushya, Uttarāyaṇa, Sunday. The details, which are incomplete, are irregular. In the cyclic year cited, the Uttarāyaṇa-saṁkramaṇa fell on December 25, A.D. 1078, which was Tuesday, not Sunday. In the previous year, however, the Uttarāyaṇa-saṁkramaṇa occurred on Sunday, corresponding to A.D. 1077, December 24.

It records a grant of land made for bhaṭṭavṛitti by the Brāhmaṇas of Paḍuvagēri in the mahāgrahāra town Naṟugunda. The land granted was obtained by the donors from the Chālukya prince Vīra-Noḷambarāja. ⟨Page 82⟩

Vikramāditya VI—A.D. 1078.

This damaged inscription referring itself to the reign of Tribhuvanamalladēva is dated in the cyclic year Kālayukti in the reign of king Chālukya Vikrama, Pushya, Uttarāyaṇa-saṁkramaṇa. During the reign of Vikramāditya VI, the cyclic year Kāḷayukta coincided with A.D. 1078 and the Uttarāyaṇa samkraṁaṇa fell on December 24, Tuesday.

It registers a grant of land made by pergaḍe Mamma (of Narugunda) for a feeding house when Vīra-Noḷamba Pallava-Permāḍi Jayasimhadēva, the king's younger brother, was governing the Two Six-hundreds and Banavāsi Twelve-thousand. The gift was obtained by Mamma from the Fifty-five Mahājanas of Paḍuvāgēri in Naṟugunda. It also states that the feeding house was continued by Mamma's younger brother Dēvaṇṇa. A supplementary grant of ornaments, utensils, etc., made by Mamma to the Sun-god of Mūlasthāna is also recorded. The name of the composer of the record is given as ūroḍeya Nāgadēva.

Vikramāditya VI—A.D. 1079.

This inscription referring itself to the reign of Tribhuvanamalladēva is dated in the Chālukya-Vikrama year 3, Siddhārtha, Chaitra śu, Pūrṇimā, Sunday, Saṁkrānti. The details are irregular. The tithi cited corresponds to A.D. 1079, March 20, Wednesday. The Saṁkrānti (Mēsha) however fell on the following Sunday, the 24th.

It records a gift of thirty gadyāṇas for the maṇḍapa of the god Gaḷagēśvaradēva made by the musician Barmayya who is stated to be an expert in thirty-two rāgas as also, in music, dancing and allied arts. It states that yuvarāja Jayasiṁghadēva (the younger brother of Vikramāditya) was governing the two Six hundreds, Banavasi Twelve-thousand and Sāntaḷige Thousand. It may be noted that Jayasiṁgha is given all the Pallava titles. The gift was made for the beatitude of Jōgiyabbe, the mother of the donor.

Vikramāditya VI—A.D. 1079.

This inscription is dated in Chālukya-Vikrama year 4, Siddhārtha. Pushya Amāvāsyā, Sunday. Uttarāyaṇa-saṁkrānti, Solar eclipse. The details are not regular. The tithi cited corresponds to A.D. 1079, December 26, on which day there was a solar eclipse. The week-day however was Thursday. The Saṁkrānti occurred on the previous day, i.e., Wednesday.

It states that when Trailōkyamalla Vīra-Noḷa[mba] (Jayasimha III) was governing Sāntaḷige and other regions and Bammadēva was administering the perjuṅka and bilkoḍe taxes of Banavase Twelve-thousand, an endowment of land was made for the temple of Grāmēs11vara. It was made over to Kannaḍāchārya, apparently the priest of the temple. It also mentions Khēṇikāra-pergaḍe Chāvaṇna of the vaḍḍarāvuḷa tax and Dāsagāvuṇḍa and Rājagāvuṇḍa of Kōḷūr.

The record is published in Epigraphia Indica, Vol. XIX, pp. 188 ff. The following corrections in the text may be made: ⟨Page 86⟩

Vikramāditya VI—A.D. 1080.

This inscription, referring itself to the reign of Tribhuvanamalla Vikramachakri, is dated in the Chālukya-Vikrama year 5 (in words) Raudra. Jyēshṭha Amāvāsyā, Sunday, Saṁkrānti, Solar eclipse. But for the week-day the details correspond to A.D. 1080, June 20. The week-day was, however, Saturday. There was a solar eclipse on that day, but the Saṁkrānti (Karkāṭaka) occurred on the following Thursday, the 25th.

The record, after describing the valour of Yuvarāja Jayasiṁha, the younger brother of Vikramāditya, states that his subordinate Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Chenna, who was governing Beḷuhuge Seventy, Mūvattāruṁabāḍa (the sub-division of Thirty-six villages), Koṇḍavaṭi, Māhaḷige-nāḍu and other divisions and whose territory extended up to Haive, revived (punar-datti) the grant of the village Pulluṇi situated in Beḷuhuge Seventy to god Gaḷagēśvara of that place for worship and offerings to the god and for the feeding of ascetics, visitors and students as well as for the service of music and dancing in the temple.

Two chiefs named Dāsanṛipāḷa and Sōvidēva are mentioned while giving an account of the conquests of Chenna. Goggi of Haive and Malapa Nāgavarma are stated to have been vanquished by him. In the Silāhara and Kadamba families we find Goggi and Nāgavarma, respectively, but they flourished much earlier than Chenna.

Vikramāditya VI—A.D. 1080.

This inscription which refers itself to the reign of Tribhuvanamalladēva and is dated in the Chālukya-Vikrama year 5, Raudra, Mārgas11ira Pūrṇīmā, Sunday, lunar eclipse, refers to Yuvarāja Jayasiṁhadēva as ruling Banavāsi and other divisions, the details of the date correspond regularly to A.D. 1080, November 29, Sunday.

After giving the genealogy of the Chālukya family and an eulogistic account of Īs11varadēva, the rāyabhāri of the king, the record states that he established many water sheds, feeding centres and constructed a well, a tank and Śiva and Vishṇu temples. Further it records a grant of land made probably for the maintenance of these. The mahājanas of Mekkegēri of the agrahāra town Naugunda are highly praised.

The composer of the record and the person who corrected it are stated to be Mallikārjuna and Kollurava Nāgavāra, respectively.

The record is badly damaged at places.
