c8.s4.6

This valuable and interesting record states that Mayūra-śarmma was anointed to the throne by Shaḍānana, after meditating on Senāpati and the Mothers. In like manner other early grants describe the Kadambas as purified by meditation on Svāmi-Mahāsēna and the group of Mothers.² They are also said to be lords of Vaijayanti (Banavāsi), of the Mānavya-gōtra, Hāritiputras, and *pratikṛita-svādhyāya-charch-* chāpārās.¹ As the grants are dated only by the ancient system of the seasons, or in regnal years (running from 2 to 11), they furnish no definite dates for the kings. But one (IA. vi. 23), issued when Kākusthavarmma was Yuvarāja, is ascribed to the eightieth year of his victory (sva-vaijayika), for which there is at present no explanation.
