c8.s7.8

In Mb 122 of 969 we are informed that Nanni Noḷamba had assumed the crown. He was Iṟiva Noḷamba’s son (Hr 1). But the Ganga king Mārasimha, who ruled till 974, boasts of having destroyed the Noḷamba family, whence he had the name Noḷambakulāntaka, and he was ruling, among other provinces, over the Noḷambavāḍi Thirty-two Thousand (EI. iv. 352). In Mb 84 of 974 we have a record of three Noḷamba princes, who had escaped and were perhaps hiding, hearing with relief the news of his death. But the Noḷambavāḍi Thirty-two Thousand continued in possession of the Gangas, as testified by Rakkasa Ganga’s inscription (Sp 59) of about 985.
