c8.s5.29

The Gangas may be said to have reached the height of prosperity during the long reign of Śrīpurusha, who came next, and in whose time the kingdom was called the Śrī-rājya or fortunate kingdom. He was the grandson of Śivamāra, whose son is not named and had therefore probably died before his father. This son may have been the prince Eṛeganga above noted, as the heir-apparent seems often to have been a governor of Kongal-nāḍ, along with other western provinces. Śrīpurusha's personal name was Muttarasa, and he is also called Pṛithivī-Kongaṇi. His date is fixed by Mg 36 of 750, [Figure: GANGA STONE, TALAKĀD.
