S. and O.-C. Inscrs. No. 180; \*Mysore Inscriptions\*, p. 97).—Mr. Rice would locate Sêtuvina-bîḍu or Sêtu somewhere in Kanara (\*Mysore Inscriptions\*, Introd. pp. lxviii., lxix).—Jagaddêva is subsequently mentioned as laying siege to Anamkoṇḍ, after the defeat of Taila III., in the time of the Kâkatya or Kâkatiya prince Proḷa (\*Ind. Ant.\* Vol. XI. pp. 10, 17).—The Baḷagâmve inscription styles him a younger brother (\*prig-anuja\*; line 27) of Jayakêśin II. of the family of the Kâdambas of Goa; and it also speaks of Jayakêśin as his own elder brother (\*nij-âgrajâta\*; line 23). In reality, however, as disclosed by the same record, Jayakêśin and Jagaddêva were maternal cousins; being sons of two uterine sisters, Chaṭṭaladêvî and Bijjaladêvî. And a more correct expression is used in line 19, where it is said that Jayakêśin "was considered to be the elder brother" of Jagaddêva (\*agrajanman\* = \*enisidan\*). The other expressions, however, are in agreement with a custom which is very common in the Kanarese country, and in consequence of which, when a witness in Court speaks of such and such a man as his son or brother, it is always necessary (as also with various other relationships), if the point is relevant, to make him explain distinctly whether he means, in the first case, his own son, his brother's, or sister's son, or the son of some relative in the same degree of descent with himself, and, in the second case, his own father's son, his uncle's or aunt's son, or the son of some relative in the same degree of descent with his father. Another epigraphic instance of this custom is furnished by the Âlûr inscription of A.D. 1010-11 (page 434 above, note 7), in which the daughter of Irivabeḍanga-Satyâśraya is called the younger sister of Vikramâditya V., who was in reality her paternal cousin. - [Previous: c8.s14.249](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s14.249) - [Next: c8.s14.252](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s14.252) - [Up: c8.s14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s14) ## Cites (2) - [Kākatya Inscription of Rudradēva at Anamkoṇḍ, Śaka 1084](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.epigraphy.deccan.kakatiya.kakatya-inscription-of-rudradeva-at-anamkond-saka-1084) — Telugu - [Inscribed brick from Vijnot](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.epigraphy.northwest.varia.inscribed-brick-from-vijnot) — Persian --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s14.250](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s14.250) · Pramāṇa
