Ancient History of the Deccan c6.s2.44

c6.s2.44

We must here say a few words about the kings of Punnâḍ. The capital of this province was Kitthipura or Kittur (Hg. 56, Ep. Carn., Vol. IV) on the river Kabbani, to the west of Talakâḍ. In 1917, Mr. R. Narasimhachar discovered (Mysore Archæol. Report for 1917, page 40, No. 87) the Mâmballi plates that give us reliable information about this dynasty. The spurious plates of Kômaraliṅgam (Ind, Ant., Vol. XVIII; page 362) give further details which are very probably historical.
