Alupa, Alva, Aluva Princes
c9.s2.t3.1
A line of rulers from the 7th to the 11th centuries A.D., who had their headquarters at Paṭṭi-Pombuchcha, modern Humcha, in the Nagar Taluk of Shimoga District, Mysore State. Their tract is called in old records the ‘Āluvakhēḍa 6,000.’ It is mentioned as late as the 12th century in an inscription of the time of Hoysala Viṣṇuvardhana. Dr. Hultzsch states that the name is probably derived from the Dravidian Aḷ ‘to rule,’ e. g. Koṅgāḷvas, Chaṅgāḷvas, Nāḍāḷvas (See Mr. Krishna Sastri’s remarks in *Arch. Ann. Report* for 1907-08, *p.* 238. *n.* 4).
