Bhillama was succeeded in the sovereignty, probably in the latter half of A.D. 1191, by his son Jaitugi I., also called Jaitapâḷa and Jaitrapâḷa.¹ Of his time, we have three certain records, which mention him as the reigning king.² One is a stone inscription at Bijâpur,³ dated in the month Pausha, on a \*tithi\* falling in December, A. D. 1196, of the Anala or Nala \*saṁvatsara\* (Saka-Saṁvat 1118 expired); it cites the \*saṁvatsara\* as the sixth year of his reign, and thus fixes the Virôdhikrit \*saṁvatsara\*, S.-S. 1114 current, = A. D. 1191-92, as his first year. Another is an undated stone inscription at Mana-gôḷi in the same district.⁴ And the third is a stone inscription at Dêûr in the same district;⁵ it was dated; but the date seems to be now illegible. The Bijâpur and Dêûr records style him \*Pratâpa-Chakravartin\*; and the Mana-gôḷi record gives him the paramount epithets of \*samastabhuvanâśraya\* and \*śrîprithivîvallabha\*.⁶ The Bijâpur record mentions an officer of his, the \*Mahâpradhâna\* and \*Sênâpati\*, the \*Daṇḍanâyaka\* Saṁkara, who then, in A. D. 1196, was governing the Tardavâḍi thousand. The Dêvara-Hippargi inscription, which may or may not belong to his time,⁷ gives the name of a \*Mahâmaṇḍalêśvara\* Goṇamarâsa, who had preceded Saṁkara in the charge of that district and was governing it in A. D. 1192. An inscription of his son's time, written about A. D. 1222, mentions, two brothers, Sôidêva and Hêmâḍidêva, of the Nikumbha family, who in A. D. 1207 were governing a district containing sixteen hundred villages in the neighbourhood of Pâṭṇa in Khândêsh,⁸ and must have been feudatories of Jaitugi I.; and it also tells us that Jaitugi appointed Lakshmîdhara, son of the well-known astronomer Bhâskarâchârya, to the post of chief \*paṇḍit\* in his service. And a later record of his son's time, of A.D. 1240,⁹ mentions a \*Mahâpradhâna\* and \*Bâhattara-niyôg-âdhipati\* named Pârisa-seṭṭi, — then holding, under Siṅghaṇa, the office of \*Sarvâdhikârin\* or general manager of the
