c8.239

A.D. c. 810. Inscription (vīrakal) in Chitaḷdrūg District, N. Mysore. Undated. It commemorates the death of a chief who was a vassal of the W. Ganga king. The chief was governing the Noḷamba country and was named ‘Singapōta.’ His lord’s name is not stated but only his title ‘Permmānaḍi’ is given; but it is mentioned that ‘Duggamāra rose up suddenly and established himself by force.’ Duggamāra was younger brother of the Ganga king Śivamāra II, and it may be that the fight in which Singapōta lost his life was between the supporters of Śivamāra, who was continually in trouble with the Rāshṭrakūṭa Gōvinda III, and those of Duggamāra. (E. C. xi. Cl. 8.)
