The Early History of the Deccan (Parts I–XI) v2.c14.39

v2.c14.39

³ The genealogy of Bhillama outlined above differs from that given by Hemādri or the Paithan plates of Rāmachandra. It is based upon the Gadag record issued by Bhillama himself, who may well be presumed to have given correct information about the name of his own father to the drafter of the grant. Hemādri flourished a century later and may not have had correct knowledge. R. G. Bhandarkar, however, thought that the Gadag inscription was a forgery, and accepted Hemādri's account of the parentage of Bhillama.
