Mysore and Coorg from the Inscriptions c9.s11: 11. Padināḍ

c9.s11.1

There was also a principality called Padinaḍ or Hadinaḍ, the capital of which at the end of the sixteenth century was Yelandūr (Yl 1). A chief of Padinaḍ is mentioned as early as 1058 (Ch 69). Hadinaḍ is also named in 1196 (TN 31) as a province of the Hoysala kingdom. It is now represented by Hadināru in the Nanjangūd tāluq. The inscriptions place the modern rulers in the sixteenth and beginning of the seventeenth century. In 1586 the chiefs took the names of the Vijayanagar kings at Penugoṇḍa (Nj 141). Before 1650 the province had been annexed to Mysore by Kaṇṭhīrava-Narasa-Rāja (Ch 42). In 1807 Yelandūr was given as a jāgīr to the Dewān Pūrnayya in recognition of his eminent services, and is now held by his descendants.
