By his wife Êchaladêvi, Ereyanga had three sons,—Ballâla I., Vishnuvardhana, and Udayâditya. Of the eldest of them, Ballâla I., the Sindigere inscription of A. D. 1137³ tells us that he ruled at Bêlâpura, i.e. Bêlûr; that he wedded three sisters, Padmaladêvi, Châvalidêvi, and Boppadêvi, who were daughters of a second Dandanâyaka Mariyâne, and were highly accomplished in the sciences, and in singing and dancing;⁴ and that, as a marriage-gift, he conferred the lordship of Sindigere on the second Mariyâne, on Kârttika śukla 10 of the Svabhânu samvatsara, Saka-Samvat 1025 (expired), corresponding, approximately, to the 13th October, A. D. 1103. And the Gadag inscription of A. D. 1192 tells us that he overthrew a certain Jagaddêva,⁵ who may be an ancestor of, or possibly even identical with, the Sântara prince Jagaddêva of Patti-Pombuchchapura, who has been mentioned in connection with the Western Châlukya kings Perma-Jagadêkamalla II. and Taila III.
