v2.c29.s3.7

Kaliṅgarāja was succeeded by his son Kamalarāja. According to the Amoda plates of his grandson Pṛthvīdeva I, he is said to have defeated the *Utkala-nṛpa*, and endeavoured to equal Gāṅgeyadeva in prosperity.³ It is interesting to find that Gāṅgeya himself is also credited with victory over the ruler of Utkala,⁴ and it is not unlikely that his relatives in Tummāṇa may have substantially helped him in his South-Eastern campaign. Kamalarāja in that case must have been a younger contemporary of Gāṅgeya.
