records give him the titles of Mahârâjâdhirâja, Paramêśvara, Bhaṭâra, and Paramabhaṭṭâraka, and the epithets of prithivî-vallabha and śrîprithivîvallabha. And the Sirûr inscription describes him as having three white umbrellas of (sovereignty), the śaṅkha or conch-shell, the pâḷidhvaja-banner, and the ôkâ-kêtu or (?) bird-ensign; as being heralded in public by the sounds of the musical instrument called tivili; and as having the hereditary title of "supreme lord of the town of Lattalûra."² The spurious Western Gaṅga grant from Sûḍi³ would allot to him a daughter named Abbalabbe, who, it says, was married to Guṇaduttaraṅga-Bûtuga, the great-grandfather of the Permanadi-Bûtuga who was a contemporary of Krishṇa III. The statement may be correct; but, until it is authenticated by some genuine record, we may abstain from accepting it so far as to include the name of Abbalabbe in the genealogical table of the dynasty.
