the issue of the contest between the Yâdavas of Dêvagiri and the Hoysalas for the southern provinces. And the last is another inscription at Haralahalli.¹ This record mentions king Vikramâditya of Ujjênîpura, i. e. Ujjain. In his lineage, it says, after "several kings" whom it does not particularise, there was Vîra-Vikramâditya I., also called Vikrama and Vikramânka, "who became illustrious in being called the lord of the Banavâsi province." To him were born Gutta II. and Jôyidêva I.² Gutta's wife was Padmaladêvî. To them was born the Mahâmaṇḍalêśvara Âhavâditya-Vîra-Vikramâditya II., who was ruling the Banavâsi twelve-thousand at his capital of Guttavolal. And to him and to Pâttamâdêyî there were born a daughter Tuluvaladêvî or Tulvaladêvî, who was married to Ballâla, son of a prince named Simha, Singa, or Singidêva, of the Sûryavaṁśa or Solar Race, lord of the Sântali maṇḍala,³ and two sons, Jôyidêva (Jôyidêva II.) and Vikrama (Vikramâditya III.). The record is dated in the month Chaitra (March-April), falling in A. D. 1213, of the Śrîmukha saṁvatsara, S.-S. 1136 (current). And it registers the building of a temple of Śiva, and the making of grants to it, by Vîra-Vikramâditya II. This record, again, does not mention any paramount sovereign; and, as before, the Gutta prince may have been practically independent, pending the issue of the contest between the Dêvagiri-Yâdava king Singhana and the Hoysalas.
