The term sukha-saṃkathâ-vinôda occurs, however,—though not with râjyaṃ-gêyu, but with âḷu, ‘to govern,’ and pratipâḷisu, ‘to protect,’—in the cases of an exceptionally high official of Vikramâditya VI., the Mahâpradhâna, Bâṇasa-veggaḍe, and Daṇḍanyaka Anantapâḷayya, who was thus ruling the Banavâsi province and the Beḷvoḷa and Puḷigere districts, and managing the paṇḍya-tax of the seven-and-a-half-lâkh country, in A.D. 1102-1103, and of a subordinate of his, the Daṇḍanyaka Gôvindarasa, who, at the same time, was thus managing the mêḷvatteya-vaḍḍarvula, eraḍu-biḷkoḍe, and perjunka taxes (P. S. and O.-C. Insers. Nos. 168, 171; Mysore Inscriptions, pp. 79, 80, 139); in the case of Anantapâḷayya, the use of the term is in accordance with the fact that he was also styled Mahâsâmantâdhipati, which was of much the same purport with Mahâmaṇḍalêśvara; in the case of Gôvindarasa, the justification for its use is not so apparent. And it occasionally occurs in connection with simply sara, S.-S. 904 expired,¹ and an inscription at Tâlgund in Mysore,² dated either in Vaiśâkha (April-May) or Âśvayuja (Sept.-Oct.), falling in A. D. 997, of the Hêmalambi samvatsara, S.-S. 919 (expired), which records that his feudatory Bhîmarasa, also called Tailapana-aṅkakâra or "the warrior or champion of Tailapa,"³ was governing the Banavâsi twelve-thousand, the Sântalige thousand, in Mysore, and the Kisukâḍ seventy or the country round Pattadakal in the Bijâpur District.
