v1.c17.s5.249

In these records the dates of Kāmārṇava range from *Śaka* 1070 to 1077. As 1070 is referred to as his 3rd year, his date of accession ought to be *Śaka* 1067. But we have seen that the dates of his father came down up to *Śaka* 1069. The Kendupatna grant gives *Śaka* 1064 as the date of his *Abhiṣeka*. I have already suggested that this year probably marks his formal consecration as the regent of his old father. As he is usually assigned a reign of 10 years, and as *Śaka* 1077 is said to be his 10th year, it is likely that his actual reign extended from *Śaka* 1069 to 1077 or 1078.⁶ Kāmārṇava was succeeded by his half-brother Rāghava. No inscription of this king have yet been discovered. In the Kendupatna grant he is assigned a reign of 15 years. As we have inscriptions of the 3rd year of his successor dated in *Śaka* 1093, he probably reigned from *Śaka* 1078 to 1090.¹ Rāghava was succeeded by his half-brother Anantavarmā Rājarāja II, also known as Rājendra.² The following inscriptions are known for his reign.
