A prince of the Bednūr family, who may have been related to the Changālvas in some way, having settled at Hālēri (called Kshīra-nagara in Sanskrit), to the north of Mercāra, in the garb of a Jangama or Lingāyit priest, gradually brought the whole country under his authority. His descendants continued as Rājas of Coorg till 1834, when the country was annexed by the British. - [Previous: c8.s20.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c8.s20.2) - [Next: c8.s20.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c8.s20.4) - [Up: c8.s20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c8.s20) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c8.s20.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c8.s20.3) · Pramāṇa
