² The Kauthêm grant of A. D. 1009 (Ind. Ant. Vol. XVI. p. 17), with certain other records that follow the same draft, introduces two more generations into the genealogy: it gives a person named Neḍamari as the son of Pulikêśin II., and an Âdityavarman as the son of Neḍamari; and it makes Vikramâditya I. the son of this Âdityavarman, and thus the great-grandson, instead of the son, of Pulikêśin II. But this is a pure mistake, based on imperfect tradition, which it is unnecessary even to criticise.—The name of Âdityavarman, as the supposed father of Vikramâditya I., very possibly owed its existence to his really having a brother of that name (see page 367 below). The name of Neḍamari may have some connection with the fictitious name of the daughter, Ambêrâ (or son, Ambêra), who is allotted to Pulikêśin II. by the spurious Hosûr grant (see page 358 above, note 1).
