¹ A certain Panchala-Dēva, with the Ganga titles, set himself up as independent in 975, but was killed in battle by the Chālukya king Taila (*EI.* v. 372). In Hr 1 he is called a *mahā-sāmantādhipati* or great feudal chief. An attempt was also made by a Ganga named Muḍu-Rāchayya, who took the titles Chaḷadanka-Ganga and Gangara-baṇṭa, to seize the Ganga throne, but he was slain by Chāmuṇḍa-Rāya (SB 109), who thus avenged the death of his younger brother Nāgavarmma. Before the battle, the prince Rakkasa’s guardian, Bāyiga of the Kakka (or Rāshṭrakūṭa) family, sent the prince away to a place of safety and rushed in to meet his own death (SB 60, 61).
