And it purports to furnish for him a date in the month Phâlguna (Feb.-March), falling in A. D. 1209, of the Vibhava saṁvatsara, Śaka-Saṁvat 1130 (expired): this date, however, overlaps, and is not easily reconcilable with, the earlier dates of his sons Kârtavîrya IV. and Mallikârjuna; and, as a continuation of the record is dated in A. D. 1257, it is possible that the whole was put on the stone then, and that some mistake was introduced. The wife of Lakshmîdêva I. was Chandaladêvî, also called Chandrike and Chandrikâdêvî, daughter of a person named Râja belonging to a family of Mahâmaṇḍalêśvaras, with the hereditary title of "supreme lord of Kupaṇapura, the best of towns," who claimed to belong to the Yaduvaṁśa and were lords of the Hagarage district;³ some of the records⁴ say that she attained victory over a number of serpents in an earthen water-jar,—the allusion apparently being to her having undergone some trial by ordeal.⁵ - [Previous: c8.s18.201](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s18.201) - [Next: c8.s18.203](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s18.203) - [Up: c8.s18](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s18) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s18.202](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s18.202) · Pramāṇa
