Indra (III), 925 A.D.

This damaged record is dated Śaka 848, Pārthiva, Uttarāyaṇasaṁkrānti. The detailes given are insufficient for verification. However, the saṁkrānti, occurred on December 23, the year corresponding to 925 A.D. The Śaka year was current.

It seems to record the construction of the door-way and the maṇḍapa, and the repair of the shrines for the eight parivāra-dēvatas of the Muḻkiṁṭīśvara temple, by a mahāsāmanta whose name cannot be made out, when Pallava-dhīra was governing Muḷki-500 division. The record states that the king, Indra III, was ruling the mahāraṭṭarājya.

Slab set up in survey No. 400 near the ruined Bhairavēśvarasvāmin temple.

Bhuvanaikamalla, 1075 A.D. (Sōmēśvara II).

This record is dated Śaka 997, Rākshasa, Chaitra-puṇṇame, Friday, lunnar eclipse corresponding regularly to 1075 A.D., April 3.

The inscription states that while the king was camping at Baṅkāpura, his subordinate mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Satyarasa of the Jīmūtavāhana lineage, bearing the title Tagarapuravarēśvara and having for his banner the crest of the golden eagle, got the temple of Bikkēśvara built in the name of his father Bikkeyarasa, and granted the income from taxes muyipu-kāṇike and koḻuṅgeḻe arising out of his manneya to the same temple for worship, offerings and burning a lamp and for feeding ascetics in the charity-house attached to it. The gift was made after laving the feet of Sadyōjāta-paṇḍita of Eḍeyamaṭha.

Tribhuvanamalla, (Vikramāditya VI) 1100 A.D.

This badly damaged record is dated the 25th year, Vikrama, Monday, the other details being lost. As the king referred to is Tribhu-[vanamalla], we may take the year as the Chālukya-Vikrama year, corresponding to 1100-01 A.D. If the intended date refer to a lunar eclipse as the occasion for the gift, there was a lunar eclipse in the month of Mārgaśira in that year followed by a Monday which corresponded to November 19.

The record registers a gift of lands and a garden to a basadi probably situated at Jonnagiri. Daṇḍanāyaka, Perggaḍe Sōvarasa and Malli-seṭṭi are mentioned. The king is stated to have been ruling from his capital at Kalyāṇa.

Vikramāditya VI, 1120 A.D.

This inscription refers itself to the reign of Tribhuvanamalla ruling from Jayantīpura. It is dated Chāḷukya-Vikrama year 45, Śārvari, Jyēshṭha-amāvāsye, Sunday, solar eclipse, The given details are irregular. Jyēshṭha-amāvāsya did not occur on a Sunday in the year Śārvari, nor was there a solar eclipse in that month. But if the month is a mistake for Āśvina, the details regularly correspond to 1120 A.D., October 24.

The record registers gifts of land, garden, an oil-mill for a lamp, four houses of which one was meant for the oil-mill and betel leaves, to god Mallikārjunadēva of Ṟedimalli, the capital of Kuḍiyape-40, by mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Kētamallarasa, and mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Mummaḍi Chōḷarasa. The gift was made over to Mallikārjuna-paṇḍita.

Of the donors, the first, Raviyarasa bearing the epithet Ayōdhyāpuravarādhīśvara is described as the son-in-law of Bhuvanaikamalla-mahārāja, while the second Kētamallarasa, bears the epithet Oṟeyūr puravarādhīśvara and eulogised by the characteristic Telugu-Chōḷa praśasti commencing with Aridurddhara-vara° etc.

Tribhuvanamalla, [1122 A.D.] (Vikramāditya VI).

This badly damaged record registers grants of land, garden, oilmill, etc. to god Ma[llikārjuna] of Mūlasthāna by mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Rēviyarasa, mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Chōḷarasa and another whose name is lost. The last bears the praśasti commencing with Aridurddhara-vara° etc. and the title Uṟeyūrapuravaradhīśvara. The record is identical with No. 23 above and so the third person herein referred to might be Kētamallarasa.

It is dated Chāḷukya-Vikrama year, 15, Vaiśākha-puṇṇame, Sunday. If the cyclic year was Śubhakrit, other details regularly correspond to 1122 A.D., April 23.

Bhūlōkamalla, 1129 A.D. (Sōmēśvara III).

This record refers itself to the reign of Bhūlōkamalla ruling from Jayantīpura and registers grants of lands, flower-garden, and oilmill by mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Sakaradēva-Chōḷa-mahārāja, son of Bhīmadēva, and manneya Mācharasa for the worship of and offerings to god Rāmēśvara of the ghaṭikāsthāna Kukuvanūra situated in Sauḷu70 of Naṟavāḍi-500 division. The grant was meant also for feeding the travellers. Sakaradēva-chōḷa-mahārāja bears the characteristic Telugu-Chōḷa praśasti commencing with Charaṇasarōruha etc.

The record is dated the 3rd year of the Chāḷukya-Vikrama era, Kīlaka, Kārttika śu. 10, Thursday. The era is, obviously, a mistake for the Bhūlōkamalla era. If the cyclic year Kīlaka quoted was a mistake for Saumya (which would be the king's third regnal year) the details regularly correspond to 1129 A.D., October 24.

This record registers a gift of land of a bell made to god Bhōgēśvara of Indupura, the modern Indukūru, by mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Trailōkyamalla-Hemmāḍidēva-mahārāja.

It is dated the 54th regnal year of Bhūlōka, i.e., Chāḷukya Bhūlōkamalla, Durmati, Paushya, śu. 11, Thursday, Uttarāyaṇa- ⟨Page 35⟩ saṁkramaṇa. The year given is not correct. Bhūlōkamalla did not rule for such a long period, to take the given year as that of Bhūlōkamalla himself. If the year mentioned is a reference to the Chāḷukya-Vikrama era, the corresponding cyclic year would be Sādhāraṇa. However, the cyclic year Durmati corresponds to 1141 A.D., when the details could be equated with December 25, the tithi being ba. 11 and not śu. 11. This might be the intended date.

The details of date [Pu]shya ba. amāvāsya preserved in the record are insufficient for calculation.

Taila III.

The record refers itself to the reign of Nūrmaḍi Taila, who is also called Vishṇuvardhana, ruling from Kalyāṇa. Much of the writing is damaged and the date is lost. But as the record can be palaeographically assigned only to the 12th century the king referred to might be Taila III, though the language of the inscription appears to question its genuineness.

It registers gifts of lands, and a flower-garden for the worship and offerings to a deity (name lost). The gift was entrusted to Nāgarāśi-paṇḍita.

This inscription is dated the year Nandana, Māgha śu. 3, Thursday. The details correspond regularly to 1173 A.D., January 18.

The record states that the representatives of the four and the eight nāḍu, the seṭṭis of Kannaḍa-4000, Eḍadore-2000 etc., headed by the five hundred svāmis of Ayyāvoḷe, had a tōraṇa constructed and set up the image of Bhagavatī at Kāḍalūr in Aṁyaṇavāḍi and gathering at Mosaḷemaḍuvu alias Gaṇḍanārāyaṇapura, the chief town of Kanne300, made an endowment (the details of which are lost) to god Saṅgamēśvara, for worship and offerings and for the feeding and clothing Tatpurusha-paṇḍita, the sthānapati of the temple. It further registers a gift of one gadyāṇa by the Bīravaṇiga of Kaṇṇe-nāḍu. Ñāmōja, son of Kāvōja and younger brother of Guṁḍōja engraved the record.

Siṁghaṇa, 1216 A.D.

This damaged record is dated Śaka 1137, Yuva, Māgha, śu. 5, Thursday. The tithi corresponds to 1216 A.D., January 25 when the weekday was Monday and not Thursday. ⟨Page 42⟩

It refers to the construction of a temple (name not clear) at Gōraṭa and consecration of the deity therein in the name of his father, by mahāpradhāna, sarvvādhikāri Savadhare Yindapa-nāyaka who also made certain endowments for worship and offerings to the deity and repairs to the temple. The donor is said to be governing Naḻavāḍi which he obtained from mahāpasāyita, samasta-sēnādhipati Lakshmīdēvadaṇḍanāyaka. It refers to Pālajiyya to whom probably the gift was entrusted.

Bukka I, 1359 A.D.

This badly damaged record is dated Śaka 1282, Vikāri, Kārttika śu. 1, Sunday, the Śaka year being current. The tithi corresponds to 1359 A.D., October 23 when the weekday was Wednesday. If, however, the cyclic year is a mistake for Śārvari the details regularly correspond to 1360 A.D., October 11.

The record registers gift of lands and coconut garden to god Sēnēśvaradēva of Bayidūru, after purchase, by Chika Maleya-deṇṇāyaka, younger brother of mahāpradhāna Maleya-daṇṇāyaka who was governing Bārakūru-rājya.

Slab set up in a field behind the Bazar street.

Bukka I, 1364 A.D.

This badly damaged record registers a gift of lands and coconutgarden, for feeding brāhmaṇas in the maṭha attached to Narasiṁhadēva temple, by Chikka-Maleya-daṇṇāyaka younger brother of mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Maleya-daṇṇāyaka. The latter was governing Bārakūru-rājya. The gift was left in-charge of Viṭhala-hebāra, son of Nāraṇa hebāra of Naḍumane.

It is dated [Śaka 1286], Krōdhi, Kārttika śu. 11, Sunday. The Śaka year was current. The details are irregular as the tithi corresponds to 1364 A.D., November 6, when the weekday was Wednesday. If, however, the cyclic year is a mistake for Viśvāvasu, the other details would regularly correspond to 1365 A.D., October 26.

Harihara II, 1378 A.D.

This damaged record registers a gift of land to Vaijanāthadēvaayyaṁgaḷu by eight individuals (praje) including two women, and the nāḍa-sēnabōva, of Bayidūru, when mahāpradhāna Bharamarasa-oḍeya was governing Bārakūru-rājya.

It is dated Śaka 1402, Kāḷayukta, Pushya śu. 10, Wednesday. The Śaka year is obviously wrong, the cyclic year Kāḷayukta, falling in the reign period of Harihara, corresponding to Śaka 1300 when the other details regularly correspond to 1378 A.D., December 29.

Harihara II, 1398 A.D.

This record is dated Śaka 1312, Śukla, Mēsha 1, Monday. The given tithi corresponds to 1389 A.D., March 26 when the week-day was Friday, the Śaka year being current. If, however, the tithi is a mistake for 11, then the details regularly correspond with April 5 of that year.

It records a gift of land, after purchase from Baṅki Sāntaya and Kēśava-vappiri. To the temple of Amṛitanātha of Vomaṅjūru, for feeding twelve Brāhmaṇas including the cooks at the chhatra by Padumaladēvi daughter of Kāmadēvarasa of the Kadamba family, when Mallarasa was governing Maṅgaḷūru-rājya. It also states that the king made the land free from all taxes and endowed the village Moḷa for the maintenance of the same feeding house. It registers a further grant of a betel-nut garden by Padumaladēvi which was made over to Gōvinda and Nāraṇa of the Chaṭṭattila family who were to protect the gift hereditarily. ⟨Page 88⟩

Harihara II, 1397 A.D.

This damaged record registers a gift of land made in the presence of god Vināyaka of Kellaṁgeṟe, probably by Śaṅkaradēvavoḍeya who was governing Bārakūru-rājya, for feeding Brāhmaṇas and probably also for worship and offerings to others deities. It also refers to a basadi. Some of the gift lands appear to have been situated in the village Beḷugoṇḍa of Nālvattu-nāḍu. Bārahakanyāpura is mentioned.

Harihara II, 1398 A.D.

This record is dated Śaka 1320, Īśvara, Māgha 1, Sunday corresponding to 1398 A.D., January 20, Sunday, f.d.t. ·80. The Śaka year, however, was current.

It records gifts of land to the temple of Puḷupinadēva at Chitrapura, by Gōpīnātha-sēnabova and Kēśavanātha-sēnabōva, sons of Bāchapa-sēnabōva, who purchased the same from Malapa-seṭṭi, son of Padumaṇṇa-seṭṭi for that purpose. It also specifies the amount of paddy, obviously produced from the endowed land, to be distributed to several deities probably consecrated within the temple and states that the income in excess of the specified quantity might be enjoyed by the two donors. The land was made free from payment of siddāya. Varadēndratīrtha-śrīpāda was to maintain this charity (probably the sattra) in the Durgādēvi temple at Chitrapura. The record states that Haḍapada Mādarasa, son of Paṇḍaridēva was governing Mangalūrurājya.

This Sanskrit record, in Nāgarī characters, states that Virūpākshapaṇḍita and Vināyaka-paṇḍita, sons of Gaṇapati-paṇḍita and Kamalāṁbā and grandson of Rāghava-paṇḍita constructed a shrine along with a sukanāsa for the god Virūpāksha-Śrīpāda-Śrīvallabha, excavated a tank called Śrīvallabha-tīrtha to the left of the shrine and planted trees, etc. Both of them belonged to the Bhāradvāja-gōtra of Mādhyandina-śākha and the former of them is said to have been the author of thirteen works. The king is stated to have been ruling in Vijayanagara with his queen Viṭṭhaladēvī.

The record is dated Śaka 1318, (also expressed by the chronogram siddhi-glau-guṇa-chaṁdra) Īśvara, Pushya ba. 8, Monday.

⟨SIIv27p0i0080⟩ No. 80. (A.R. No. 238 of 1931-32.) ATRĀḌI, UDIPI TALUK, SOUTH KANARA DISTRICT.

Broken slab standing to the right of Babbare-sthāna.

Harihara, 1404 A.D.

This is dated Śaka 13[27] (current), Tāraṇa, Vaiśākha [su. 8], Thursday corresponding to 1404 A.D., April 17, Thursday, f.d.t. ·07.

It registers a gift of land to god Nārāyaṇadēva which was under the management of the Hattu-kēri of Bārakūru, by an individual, when an officer (name lost) elder brother of mahāpradhāna Basavaṇṇa was governing Bārakūru-rājya. The king is stated to have been ruling from Dōrasamudra. The record is badly damaged and details are lost.
