The sons of Jayakêśin II. were Permâḍi, also called Perma and Paramardi, and Vijayâditya II., whose name, again, also appears as Vijayârka. They acquired, respectively, the names of Śivachitta and Vishṇuchitta, by their devotion to the gods Śiva and Vishṇu. Also, Permâḍi was styled Malavara-mârin, "the slayer of the Malavas or people of the ghaut country," which corresponds to Malaparol-gaṇḍa, a generic epithet of the Hoysalas; and, apparently from some literary accomplishments, Vijayâditya II. was called Vâṇibhûshaṇa or Sarasvatîbhûshaṇa. Vijayâditya's wife was Lakshmîdêvî, daughter of a certain Lakshmîdêva. And Permâḍi's wife was Kamalâdêvî: in one passage, her father Kâmadêva is said to be of the Sômavaṁśa or Lunar Race, and her mother Chattaladêvî, of the Pâṇḍya family,⁵ but, in another, Chattaladêvî is allotted to the Lunar Race, and Kâmadêva to the Sûryavaṁśa or Solar Race.⁶ It was Kamalâdêvî who caused to be built the small but elaborately sculptured temple of the god Kamala-Nârâyaṇa and the goddess Mahâlakshmî, at Dêgâmve in the Sâmpgaon tâluka, which contains three inscriptions of this family; it was constructed by Tippoja, the Sûtradhârin or architect of the god Baṅkêśvara, and the son of the Sûtradhârin Holoja of Hûvina-Bâge,⁷ and by Tippoja's son Bâgoja. The records of this period, of which those in the vernacular all give Permâḍi the title of Mahâmaṇḍalêśvara, shew that his initial year was the Prabhava saṁvatsara, Śaka-Saṁvat 1070 current, = A. D. 1147-48, and indicate that Vijayâditya II. was shortly afterwards associated with him in the rule. The earliest of them is a stone inscription at Siddâpur in the Dhârwâr tâluka,⁸ dated in the
