¹ The Purânic genealogy of the Râshtrakûtas makes its first appearance in the Sângli grant of A. D. 933 (Ind. Ant. Vol. XII. p. 247). The pretended historical genealogy of the Western Gangas may have been concocted a little earlier, but was more probably devised about A. D. 950 (Epigraphia Indica, Vol. III. p. 169). The Chôla Purânic genealogy is apparently first met with in the Kalingattu-Parani (Ind. Ant. Vol. XIX. p. 329), which was composed in the reign of the Eastern Chalukya king Kulôttunga-Chôdadêva I., A. D. 1063 to 1112. And the Purânic genealogy of the Eastern Gangas of Kalinganagara is first presented in a record of A. D. 1118-19 (id. Vol. XVIII. p. 165).—The Purânic genealogy of the Pallavas has been mentioned on page 316 above. This is the earliest such pedigree that has as yet come to light. And possibly a discovery of it, in some ancient record, set the later fashion which became so general.
