c8.224

A.D. 797-805. Maṇṇe plates, East Mysore. Date irregular, but of this period (see below s.v. A. D. 805). Pedigree of the W. Gaṅgas given from Mādhava II down to the reigning Sivamāra II. Of him it is stated that he was ‘anointed to the kindgdom by the crowned kings’, the Rāshṭrakūṭa Gōvinda III and the Pallava Nandivarman; ‘they with their own hands binding the crown on his brow.’ The dates do not well agree, for while we have Gōvinda III reigning at this time, the reign of Nandivarman of Kāñchi had come to an end in A.D. 769.¹ (E. C. ix. Nl. 50.)
