47. 36 of 1904; *IA.* v. p. 17. *SII.* ix (i) No. 77. Attempts have been made to account for the hostility between the Western Cāḷukyas and the Cōḷas by the assumption that it was a continuation of the Pallava tradition by the Cōḷas, that the Cōḷas were of the Solar race while the Cāḷukyas were of the Lunar, and that the former were Śaivas while the latter were Vaiṣṇavas and patronised Jainism (*SII.* ii Intr. p. 5 and n. 4). Such efforts lead nowhere.
