Of his time we have twelve records, all from Mysore. The earliest date for him is furnished by a copper-plate grant from Belur,¹ and is in the month Chaitra (March-April), falling in A. D. 1254, of the Ananda samvatsara (Saka-Samvat 1177 current). The latest is furnished by an inscription at Malkangi,² and is in the month Margasira (Nov.-Dec.), falling in A. D. 1290, of the Vikriti samvatsara, S.-S. 1212 expired. The records give him the customary paramount epithets and titles, and style him Pratapa-Chakravartin, and Nissankapratapa-Chakravartin. And they represent him as reigning at Dorasamudra. They mention a Mahapradhana and Dandanayaka named Perumaledeva, also called Rauttaraya and Javanike-Narayana, with dates in A. D. 1261, 1286, and 1290, who is said to have conquered and slain a king named Ratnapala; and a minister named Chikka-Ketayya, who is said, in a record of A. D. 1277-78, to have just returned from a successful expedition with the army of the "eastern kingdom." But, with these exceptions, they disclose no history. One of the Belur grants of A. D. 1279,³ makes local provision for, amongst other things, "the tax which had to be paid to the Turashkas," i.e. the Musalman kings of Delhi, "by all people from the Kanarese country residing at Benares." - [Previous: c8.s16.167](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s16.167) - [Next: c8.s16.169](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s16.169) - [Up: c8.s16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s16) ## Linked texts (2) - [Belur copper plate grant (EC 15 Arkalgud 80)](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.epigraphy.deccan.belur.belur-copper-plate-grant-ec-15-arkalgud-80) — Sanskrit - [Belur grant (EC 5 Bl 27)](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.epigraphy.deccan.belur.belur-grant-ec-5-bl-27) — Kannada --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s16.168](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s16.168) · Pramāṇa
