¹ The origin of the Saṅgama dynasty has been discussed in Volume I, Chapter I. As regards the beginnings of the Sāluva dynasty, it is rather a thorny question. We know, as stated elsewhere, that both Sāluva Timma and Sāluva Gōvinda Rāja were Brahman generals. The Telugu Jaimini-Bhāratamu traces the origin of the Sāluvas to the Yadu-vaṁśa. See Ramayya Pantulu, Ep. Ind., VII., p. 76; E. C., X., Intr. p. xxxv; Viṭhṭhaṇṇa Oḍeyar, will figure in the Chapter on Brahmans, Infra. See also E.C., VI., Kp. 52-3, pp. 86-7.
