and officials were,—the Mahâmaṇḍalêśvara Mayûravarman II., of the family of the Kâdambas of Hângal, who in A. D. 1034-35 and 1044-45 was ruling the Pânuṁgal five-hundred; the Mahâmaṇḍalêśvara Siṅgaṇadêvarasa, who in A. D. 1045 was ruling the Kisukâḍ seventy, the Banavâsi twelve-thousand, and the Sântalige thousand, up to the borders of the western ocean; the Mahâmaṇḍalêśvara Châvuṇḍarâya, with the title of "supreme lord of Banavâsi, the best of towns," who in A. D. 1045-46 and 1062-63, at Balligâve, i.e. Baḷagâmve, was governing the Banavâsi twelve-thousand; Kaliyammarasa, of the Jîmûtavâhana lineage and the Khachara race (apparently a branch of the Śilâhâra stock), who in A. D. 1045-46 was governing the Bâsavura hundred-and-forty; the Hoysala Mahâmaṇḍalêśvara Vinayâditya, who in A. D. 1048, or thereabouts, was ruling the territory included between the Konkaṇ, the Bhaḍada-vayal province or district, Taḷakâḍ, and Sâvimale; the Mahâsâmantas Kârtavîrya I. and Anka, of the family of the Rattas of Saundatti, the latter of whom, in A.

D. 1052-53;¹ the Mahâmaṇḍalêśvara Rêvarasa, with the title of "lord of Mâhishmatî, the best of towns," and described as belonging to the family of Kârtavîrya,² who in A. D. 1054-55 was governing in the neighbourhood of Kembhâvi in the Nizâm's Dominions; the Mahâmaṇḍalêśvara Sôyimarasa, of the family of the Kâdambas of Hângal, who was ruling the Pânuṁgal five-hundred in A. D. 1067-68; and the Mahâmaṇḍalêśvara Kîrtivarman II., of the same family, who in A. D. 1068-69 was ruling the Banavâsi twelve-thousand. And among the records of this reign we must reckon, though it does not name the paramount sovereign, the copper-plate grant of the Śilâhâra Mahâmaṇḍalêśvara, Mârasimha,³ who in A. D. 1058-59, at Khiḷi-giḷadurga or Kiligiḷadurga, was ruling the Karâḍ territory, undoubtedly as a feudatory of Sômêśvara I. Sômêśvara's aunt, Akkâdêvî, continued in authority under him: we find her mentioned in one of the Arasîbîḍi inscriptions, of A.
