This son's name is not explicitly stated in any of the records. But it is just possible that he is the Satyâśraya-Dhruvarâja-Indravarman who in A.D. 610 or 611, in the beginning of the reign of Pulikêśin II. was stationed in Rêvatîdvîpa and there was governing four provinces,² and who, as that was his twentieth year, must have been first appointed as governor by Kîrtivarman I., in or about A.D. 590. That this person was, at any rate, in some way or other a connection of Maṅgalêśa, is shewn by his being called "an ornament of the Âdi-mahâ-Bappûra-vaṁśa, or original great Bappûra lineage," which is plainly identical with the Batpûra family from which Pulikêśin I. obtained his wife. The expression may mean that Satyâśraya-Dhruvarâja-Indravarman's father was of the Bappûra or Batpûra family; in which case he himself was only a connection of Maṅgalêśa. But, whether in consequence of his mother being perhaps a Pallava princess, or whether in connection with territorial administration which he held under his father, Jayasiṁha III., a son of the Western Châlukya king Sômêśvara I., is sometimes described as belonging to the Pallava lineage. There seems, therefore, nothing in the expression, in the Goa grant, to prevent Satyâśraya-Dhruvarâja-Indravarman being a Western Chalukya on his father's side. And it is possible that, like his own father, Maṅgalêśa took a wife from the Bappûra or Batpûra family; and that Satyâśraya-Dhruvarâja-Indravarman was his son. But, however this may be, it does not appear that Maṅgalêśa's son ever actually ascended the throne. - [Previous: c8.s12.133](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.133) - [Next: c8.s12.135](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.135) - [Up: c8.s12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.134](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.134) · Pramāṇa
