Of Bhîma I., Kîrtivarman III., Taila I., Vikramâditya III., and Bhîma II., we have no record beyond the mere mention of their names. Of Ayyana I.,¹ all that we are told is that he improved the fortunes of his race by marrying a daughter of a certain Krishna, who may perhaps be the Râshtrakûṭa king Krishna II.: but it has been thought that he may be identical with the Ayyapadêva of the Bêgûr inscription, who was one of the commanders of the forces of Vîra-Mahêndra, and was killed in the war between that king and the Western Ganga king Ereyappa; and he might thus be placed about A. D. 935.² Of Vikramâditya IV., we are only told that he married Bonthâdevî, a daughter of king Lakshmana, of the race of the lords of Cheḍi, who may be identified with Lakshmana, the grandson of the Kalachuri king Kokalla I. of Tripura or Têwar.¹
