c12.s1.2

Revakanimmaḍi, a daughter of Amoghavarsha III and an elder sister of Kṛṣṇa III, was married to a Ganga prince, named Permadi Būtuga II. Since the first child of this union Maruḷadeva was born while Amoghavarsha III was upon the throne, and since the mother of Būtuga II was active enough in 974 A.D. to supervise the administration of the village Pattu Pebbaḷa, the statement of the Hebbal inscription, (2) that Revakanimmaḍi's marriage took place during the reign of Kṛṣṇa II, does not seem to be correct. The statement of the same record that at the time of the marriage of his great-grand-daughter, Kṛṣṇa II gave away as dowry Banavasi 12,000, Belvola 300, Purigere 300, Bagenad 70, and Kinsukad 70 to his great-grand-son-in-law seems to be equally unreliable, for the Atkur inscription informs us (3) that these districts were given by Kṛṣṇa III to his brother-in-law, as a reward for his bravery in killing the Chola crown prince Rājāditya.
