c5.s1.t3.2

¹ The dynasty is given as follows in a number of inscriptions which I have been able to consult; nearly all of which (an unparalleled circumstance in India) give the number of years that the several kings reigned. A. (from Masulipatam) *d.* 5th year of Vishṇuvardhana II. B. (in the Nellore Sub-Collector's Office on five plates) contains a grant by Yuddhamalla (about 950). C. on five plates (? the Godāvari Collector's Office) *d.* ç. 867 = 945 A. D., being in the reign of Ammarāja. D. a grant of Kulottuṅga-Coḷa-Deva, *d.* 1085 A. D. E. = a grant by Kulottuṅga in the 23rd year of his reign (= 1087) from Pittapur. F. a grant by Kulottuṅga (Vīracoḷadeva) son of Vikramacoḷadeva, *d.* ç. 1056 = 1134 A. D. The number of years each king reigned follows in () his name. Those names which are not of actual sovereigns of Veṅgi are in spaced type.
