Ind., 1929, 1f.; 1941, 123 f). They were matrimonially connected with the Kekayas, probably a ruling family of Ancient Mysore (Dubreuil, \*AHD\*, pp. 88, 101). The most well-known rulers of the Ikshvāku family of the Eastern Deccan are Chāṁtamūla, Śrī-Vīra-Purusha-datta, Ehuvala Chāṁtamūla II and possibly 'Rulupurisadāta' (Ep. Ind., xxvi. 125). The Ikshvākus were succeeded by the "Ānanda" kings of Guṇṭūr, the Bṛihat-phalāyanas of Kudurāhāra (near Masulipatam), the Śālaṅkāyanas of Veṅgī (\*cf.\* IA, 5. 175 and the Salakenoi of Ptolemy), and the Vishṇukuṇḍins of Leṇḍulura (near Veṅgī). - [Previous: c19.s2.t1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s2.t1.7) - [Next: c19.s2.t1.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s2.t1.9) - [Up: c19.s2.t1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s2.t1) ## Linked texts (1) - [Nagarjunikonda](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.nagarjunikonda) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s2.t1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s2.t1.8) · Pramāṇa
