Hagarattage three-hundred,—who, it says, had done something, probably by quelling local opposition, to effect the development of the sovereignty of Jaitugi I. The Pâthna record, of about A. D. 1222, and some later records, claim that Jaitugi I. defeated the Andhras. Hêmâdri says that, in the battle-field, he "performed a human sacrifice by immolating a victim in the shape of the fierce Rudra, the lord of the Tailangas,"¹ i. e. the king of the Andhra, Trikalinga, or Têluṅga country; this person must be the Kâkatîya king Rudradêva, for whom the Anamkond inscription² furnishes the date of A. D. 1163. And the Paithan grant of A. D. 1272, mentioning the same matter, in the statement that he slew the king of Trikalinga and seized the whole of his kingdom, adds that he took Ganapati out of prison and made him lord of his country;³ this person, Ganapati, is Rudradêva's nephew, for whom we have the later date of A. D. 1250-51.⁴
