Early History of the Dekkan down to the Mahomedan Conquest c18.51

c18.51

Akâlavarsha's son was Jagattunga But he did not ascend the throne as appears from the fact that his name is not mentioned in the list of kings given in the Khârepâtaṇ grant, after Akâlavarsha, but that of Indra, who is spoken of as Akâlavarsha’s grandson, while Jagattunga is mentioned in another connection below And in the Navasârî grant Indra is represented as “meditating on the feet” of Akâlavarsha, and not of Jagattunga though he was his father, which shows that he was the immediate successor of Akâlavarsha But the Wardhâ grant is explicit It tells us that Jagattunga had a beautiful person, and that he died without having [71] ascended the throne Jagattunga married Lakshmî, the daughter of his maternal uncle, the son of Kokkala, who is called Raṇavigraha in the Sângalî and Navasârî grants, and Śamkaragaṇa in the Karḍâ plates But it will be presently shown that the Karḍâ plates contain many mistakes and are the source of a good deal of confusion in the history of this dynasty
