c3.s3.2
This inscription dated the 165th year of "râja-muriyakâle" which corresponds to the 13th year of the reign of Khâravela, king of Kalinga, gives us very valuable information about the reign of this king. He belongs to the Cheta dynasty; he vanquished Sâtakarni and forced Bahapati, king of Râjagriha to flee to Mathurâ. Besides, the inscriptions in the Manchapuri cave (see Ep. Ind. Vol. XIII, p. 159, No. 13) mention (insc. No. I) the chief queen of Khâravela who was the daughter of King Lâlâka, the grandson of Hastisâha (insc. No. II), the king of Kalinga Kûdepasiri and (insc. No. III) the prince Vadukha.
