NOTES.—For pedigree, etc., see Dr. Hultzsch’s article on the Piṭhāpuram inscription (*E.I. iv*, 35). There are some 13th century dates for chiefs of the line, e.g. Kuḷōttunga-Rājēndra-Chōḍa-Gonka, A.D. 1237-38, and 1239-40 and 1254-55. (*V.R. ii*, Godavari, 317, 342; 411, 436 of 1893; Guntur 854; 160 of 1899). And the same name in A.D. 1270-1. Before 1112 (when Kuḷōttunga-Chōḷa I died) Rājēndra-Chōḍa I had the Vengi province conferred on him by that king, after the king had adopted him as his son. Gonka II is said to have ruled the whole Telugu country from Kāḷahasti to the Mahēndra mountain in Ganjam. His wife Sabbāmbikā was daughter of the ‘Giripaśchima,’ or ‘West of the hill’ chief. (See ‘Koṇḍapaḍmaṭi’ chiefs pedigree—Table above).
