c8.s7.6

For Ayyapa, who has the names Nanniga, Nannigāśraya, Nolipayya, and Noḷambādhirāja, we have the dates 897 in Mi 52, 918 in DB 9, 920 in Si 39, and 929 in Kd 6. His eldest son Aṇṇiga or Bīra Noḷamba, also called Aṇṇayya and Aṅkayya, succeeded him. For the latter we have the date 931 in Ct 43 and 44, in which he is described as being at peace, in the enjoyment of all the rights of sovereignty. Gd 4 states that Anni, a son of the Ganga prince Piḷduvipati (Pṛthuvīpati II), was killed in battle when fighting in his army. Aṇṇiga was defeated by the Rāṣṭrakūṭa king Krishna or Kannara III in 940 (EI. iv. 289; v. 191). His younger brother Dilipa or Iriva Noḷamba next came to the throne.
