NOTES.—*Tailapa I.* His wife Mankabbā was sister of the Āḷuva chief Bankidēva, who married Tailapa I's sister Biralā.

Vira II. He is said, in *E. C. viii, Nr. 47* the date of which is 1062-3, ‘to have freed his State from those who had no right to it’. This probably refers to the occupation in 1042 of the Sāntaligē 1000 by the Chaḷukya princes Bijjarasa and Gonarāja (*E. C. viii, Sa. 109, bis*). Vira II's wife Bijjalā was daughter of the Noḷamba ruler Narasimha, who governed Uchchangi in 1054. He also (*E. C. viii, Nr. 35*) had a wife Kanchalā-dēvi who was the mother of his four sons. She and her sister Chattalā are noted above in the pedigree of the Western Gaṅgas (*q. v.*) Another record (*ibid., Nr. 37*) states that the mother of the four sons was Chattalā daughter of ‘Rakkasa-Gaṅga, lord of Kāñchi,’ which may have been a title of Arumoḷidēva, husband of Gāvabbarasi, who, according to *E. C. viii, Tl. 192*, were the parents of Chattalā and Kanchalā. Chattalā was the wife of the Kāḍuveṭṭi chief of Kāñchi, and Rice expressed the opinion that when she became a widow she claimed her sister's four sons as her own. These different statements are confusing at present. The puzzle awaits solution. (See note 1 on p. 86 above.—*Editor.*)

*Tailapa II* was also called ‘Bhujabala Sāntara’ (*E. C. viii, Nr. 35*).

For *Goggiga* see *E. C. vii, Sk. 53*.

For *Srīvallabha* and his sister *Pampādēvi* see *E. C. viii, Nr. 37*.
c9.s2.t63.17
For *Taila IV* son of *Srīvallabha* see *Mys. A.A.R. 1923, p. 75, and p. 117*. The date of the latter inscription is A.D. 1115-6. That of the former is 1162. These dates are rather far apart, but are not impossible. It may turn out that there was later a father and son of the same names.
c9.s2.t63.18
*Jagadēva*. Before his defeat by the Hoysala king he had, as a feudatory of the Western Chālukya king, attacked the Kākatiya king Prōla II's capital Anumakoṇḍa or Warangal, but had been driven back. He fought against the Kadambas is 1160 (*Mys. A. A. R. 1923, p. 113*).
