I am inclined to believe that he belonged to quite a collateral and unimportant branch, and that the main branch became extinct. For, the princes of the earlier dynasty always traced their descent to Hârîti and spoke of themselves as belonging to the Mânavya race; while these later Châlukyas traced their pedigree to Satyâśraya only, and those two names do not occur in their inscriptions except in the Miraj grant and its copies, where an effort is made to begin at the beginning. But evidently the writer of that grant had not sufficient materials at his command, since, as above stated, he places six princes only between Kîrtivarman II. and Tailapa. There is little question that there was no continuity of tradition. The titles Jagadekamalla, Tribhuvanamalla, &c., which the later Châlukyas assumed mark them off distinctively from princes of the earlier dynasty, who had none like them. In a copper-plate grant dated S'aka 735 found in Maisur a Châlukya prince of the name of Vimalâditya, the son of Yaśovarman and grandson of Balavarman, is mentioned. To ward off the evil influence of Saturn from Vimalâditya, a village was granted to a Jaina sage on behalf of a Jaina temple by Govinda III., the Râshṭrakûṭa king, at the request of Châkirâja of the Ganga family, the maternal uncle of Vimalâditya.² These three Châlukya names do not occur in the usual genealogy of the family. This therefore appears to have been an independent branch. Another independent offshoot ruled over a province called Jola, a portion of which at least is included in the modern district of Dhârvâḍ. In the Kanarese Bhârata written in 863 S'aka by a Jaina poet of the name of Pampa, Arikesarin belonging to this branch, is mentioned by the poet as his patron. The genealogy there given is as follows:— Yuddhamalla - [Previous: c8.s3.458](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.458) - [Next: c8.s3.460](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.460) - [Up: c8.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.459](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.459) · Pramāṇa
