Sêunadêva is not mentioned by Hêmâdri, who places the following names after that of Sêuna or Sêunachandra II. That person, he says, was succeeded by Paramadêva; and the latter, by his younger brother Simhirâja, who is said to have brought an elephant named Karpûra-tilaka from a town called Tanjâpura or Tanjîpura.³ Simhirâja was succeeded by Mallugi, who is alleged to have taken from his enemies a city named Parnakhêta, and to have captured a troop of elephants belonging to the king of Utkala, i.e. Orissa. Mallugi was succeeded by his son Amaragângêya.⁴ This person was succeeded by Gôvindarâja. The latter was succeeded by Amaramaḷḷagi, another son of Mallugi. And Amaramaḷḷagi was succeeded by Kâḷiya-Baḷḷâḷa. The succession is said to have then gone from this person to his paternal uncle Bhillama, in preference to his own sons. And the names given by Hêmâdri, immediately after this, shew that this person is the Bhillama who will be mentioned more fully just below,—the first paramount king in the family.
