We have no contemporaneous evidence of Kîrtivarman II. having left any offspring. For the names in the table on the opposite page, which shews the traditional connection between the Western Chalukyas of Bâdâmi and the Western Châlukyas of Kalyâni,³ we are dependent on the Kauthêm grant of A. D. 1009;⁴ and, as we have seven generations spread over a period of two hundred and forty years, counting from the latest date of Vijayâditya to the commencement of the reign of Taila II., it seems probable,—if, indeed, there was a direct lineal descent from Vijayâditya to Taila II.,—that the genealogy is not altogether reliable here, and that some steps must be wanting.
