The date of 6 Mallapa’s accession is doubtful. Two inscriptions at Bhīmāvaram make its date 1174-5, while the Sarpāvaram pillar inscription fixes it as in 1193-4. Dr. Hultzsch, (E. I. iv. 230) finds it impossible to reconcile the statements. It may be that, in other cases of which we have clear information, the son was made joint ruler with his father some years before the latter’s death.
