name, connects him with the date of the Vibhava saṁvatsara, Ś.-S. 890 (expired), = A. D. 968-69, and records a grant by him to a Jain shrine named, Gaṅgakandarpa-Jinēndramandira. An inscription at Nagarle, in Mysore,¹ dated Ś.-S. 892 (expired), = A. D. 970-71, gives one of his appellations in the form of Permāḷi. An inscription at Adaraguñchi, in the Dhârwâr District,² dated in the month Âshâḍha (June-July), falling in A. D. 971, of the Prajâpati saṁvatsara, Ś.-S. 893 (expired), mentions him as then governing the Gaṅgavâḍi ninety-six-thousand, the Puḷigere three-hundred, and the Beḷvola three-hundred, under the Râshṭrakûṭa king Khoṭṭiga. An inscription at Guṇḍûr, in the same district,³ dated in the same month, falling in A. D. 973, of the Śrîmukha saṁvatsara, Ś.-S. 896 (current), mentions him as still governing the Puḷigere three-hundred and the Beḷvola three-hundred under Khoṭṭiga's successor, Kakka II. The Hebbâḷ inscription speaks of him as having had in his hands, at some time or other,⁴ the government of a very large area, including, not only the Gaṅgavâḍi province, the Puḷigere three-hundred, and the Beḷvola three-hundred, but also the Banavâsi twelve-thousand, the Noḷambavâḍi thirty-two thousand (properly a province of the Paḷḷavas, in the direction of Beḷḷâry), and the Sântalige thousand (apparently somewhere in the west of Mysore).⁵ And an elaborate account of his achievements, given in one of the Śravaṇa-Beḷgoḷa records,⁶ shews that he was employed by Kṛishṇa III.
