PREFACE

Inscriptions arc invaluable sources for the study of the language, literature, culture and history of any region- Inscriptions constitute the heritage of a people. Fortunately, we have an abundance of inscriptions in our country. It is estimated that Kannada has the largest number of inscriptions, with the exception of Tamil. The number of such inscriptions as have not come to light yet and remained obscure is equally great. Efforts must be made to trace them out, collect them and publish them ; it is equaliy essential that the published inscriptions are revised and analysed. This should more or less become a continuous process wherein revision and analysis are effected in the light of fresh evidences and researches.

The volumes of Epigraphia Carnatica mark a rare achievement not only with regard to the publication of inscriptions in Kannada but also in respect of such publications in any language. It is an achievement par excellence of which we may justly feel proud from the point of view of both copiousness and greatness. 'B. L. Rice, who in 1884, was appointed part-time Director of the Department of Archaeology of the then Mysore, coUected 8869 inscriptions in the course of 22 years i.e., till 1906, in the then eight districts of Mysore State and inCoorg, which was then a separate state. He brought out these inscriptions with their transliteration and translations in English in a series entitled Epigraphia Carnatica. In this seriesof 12 volumes, the inscriptions of each district were normally accoraodated in one volume. One volume was set apart for the inscriptions of Shravanabelagola (2). Two volumes each (3-4 and 7-8) were set apart for the ins- criptions of Mysore, wbich then included Mandya also within its range, and those of Shimoga. R. Narasimhacharya, who succeeded B. L. Rice, brought to light in the course of his tenure of 16 years nearly 5000 inscriptions. He started publishing the important inscriptions in the Annual Reports. The second volume of Epigraphia Carnatica (Sravanabelagola) was thoroughly revised by him and a new edition of it was brought out in 1923. The Department of Archaeology was under the jurisdiction of the University of Mysore between 1922 and 1944. The curator of the Oriental Library used to officiate as a part-time Director. Later, though it became a department under the Government, the Professor and Head of the Department of History, Ancient Indian History and Archaeology of the University of Mysore continued to officiate as Ex-officio Directors. The department has been carrying on the survey of inscriptions, as a result of which new inscriptions are being brought to light year after yeai.

The volumes of Epigraphia Carnatica had run out of stock during the last few decades. Since they are essential source books to the students and the scholars alike, there was a long felt need for a revised edition. When the Co-ordination Committee for Research work on Karnataka Life and Culture, met on 24th January 1970, under the Chairmanship of Shri K. V. Shankara Gowda, the then Minister for Education, Government of Mysore, a sugges- tion regarding the revision and re-print of the Epigraphia Carnatica was made by the Director of the Institute of Kannada Studies. He even suggested that the Institute was prepared to shoulder the responsibility. All the members of the Committee supported him and welcomed the proposal. The Committee resolved to request the Institute of Kannada Studies to work out the details of the scheme, to recommend to the State Government to provide funds for the implementation of the scheme, and to entrust the scheme to the Institute of Kannada Studies.

A meeting of experts in Ihe field was convened by the Director of the Institute of Kannada Studies on March 7, 1970 to discuss the details of the scheme. Dr. M. Seshadri, Dr. G. S. Gai» and Dr. A. V. Narasimha Murthy participated in the meeting. A scheme, costing about Rs. 12.5 lakhs for the revision and reprint of Epigraphia Carnatica was worked out in the meeting. The scheme was presented by the Director of the Institute of Kannada Studies to the Government

12

through the University of Mysore on 4-4-1970. Though the government was pleased to pass orders approving the scheme on 16-3-71, overcoming all the technical difficuhies it v/as possible to put the scheme into operation only by 16th December 1971. An Advisory Committee, with the Director, Institute of Kancada Studies, as the Chairman, was constituted by the University to guide the Institute in the implementation of the scheme. The committee consists of the Director, Department of Archaeology, Mysore, the Chief Epigraphist to Government of India, and a few scholars from the Universities of Mysore, Bangalore, Karnatak and Madras. This committee met for the first time on 24-12-1971 and discussed in detail the modus operandi of the revision of Epigraphia Carnatica ; broad guidelines were also set out. Some of the important decisions of the committee were as follows : Roman transliteration of the texts of the Kannada inscriptions need not be given ; texts of the non-Kannada inscriptions should be provided in Kannada script along with their Roman transliteration ; inscriptions published at different sources should be brought together ; every inscription should be preceded by a short introductory note ; necessary, useful indices should be included ; introduction, texts and translations should be revised on the basis of authentic evidences.

In accordance with the suggestions of the Advisory Committee, revision of the volumes of Epigraphia Carnatica has been undertaken and the first volume so revised is being now brought outi' This volume contains the inscriptions of the Coorg District. B. L. Rice published this volume in 1886 as the first in the series of the volumes of Epigraphia Carnatica comprising 23 inscriptions of Coorg, with their translation and transliteration. When the Gazetteer of Coorg had to be prepared for the New Imperial Gazetteer of India , Rice felt the need for a fresh survey. The new inscriptions which came to light as a result of this endeavour were incor- porated in the appendices to the volumes of Epigraphia Carnatica relating to Bangalore and Tumkur (9 and 12-First Edition). All these inscriptions were put together in the revised edition of the Coor^ //).?f/-/pr/o/75 which Rice brought out in 1914. The number of inscriptions included in the revised edition was 75. This volume has again been revised according to the scheme of revision and re-print of the volumes of Epigraphia Carnatica. In order to compare the texts of the published inscriptions with those of the originals, two survey tours have been undertaken. Many of the mscriptions have been compared with the originals and corrections have been effected, wherever necessary. Only in cases where the original inscriptions were not available, the texts have been retained as such. Inscription No. 72 of the previous edition, which was in an undecipherable condition has been omitted. One of the special features of the present volume is that it includes 32 new inscriptions which had, as yet, not seen the light of the day. Of course, it is true that, our scheme does not contemplate any search for fresh inscriptions. We have included al! those inscriptions v/hich were secured without much effort on our part. This shows how much more work still remains to be done in this direction. Undoubtedly, there is a need for a new comprehensive survey. This work has to be accomplished before these inscriptions, still in oblivion, finally disappear from the scene.

A comparison with the previous edition will bring out a few more special features. A new introduction replaces the old one written by Rice ; an introductory note preceeds every inscrip- tion ; to satisfy the modern requirements, a few indices have been included. All this has been done in accordance with the suggestions of the Advisory Committee.

As far as works of this type are concerned, revision cannot, however, be final. Individuals and institutions, both have their ovvn limitations. Whatever be the revision, it is undertaken by a few ; and their work cannot be isolated from the view-point, attitudes, studies and research, all their own. It is quite natural that others may have their own views and attitudes. Hence, in this great endeavour suggestions and proposals of scholars interested in such works are

13

welcome. This is a work of the entire country, and so is the responsibility too. In a way, the first volume is also a model volume. We hope that the revision aspect of the forthcoming volumes will be improved in the light of the criticisms to be ofifered with regard to the revision and display of the present volume. A few errors have crept in inspite of our best care. An errata is appended at the end. Readers are requested to kindly refer to this. ******

This scheme has come into being with the generous help of the Government of Mysore and its love of culture. But for the personal interest of Sri Veerendra Patil, Sri K. V. Shankara Gowda and Sri Ramakrishna Hegde, the then Chief, Education and Finance Ministers respec- tively, this great scheme could not have obtained the approval of the Government so easily. This is one of those ambitious schemes which these three eminent men undertook out of their love of language and literature and their farsightedness. I am very happy to reinember them now with gratitude. We are gratefully indebted to the present government which has evinced interest in not only continuing such schemes of the erst-while Government but in launchlng new schemes also. Several decisions taken by the Government under the dynamic leadership of the Chief Minister, Sri Devaraj Urs, are of unique importance from the point of view of the development of Kannada language, literature and culture. The people of Karnataka are ex- tremely happy to note that the Finance Minister, Sri M. Y. Ghorpade and the Education Minister, Sri A. R. Badrinarayan, are evincing specia! interest in such matters. This government which has taken far-reaching decisions capable of changing the very history of the state, will no doubt shape its future gloriously. Sri K. R. Ramachandran, who was formerly the Secretary for Education, and Sri Samue) Appaji, the present Secretay for Education, have fully co-operated in the revision and reprint scheme of the Epigraphia Carnatica. Sri S. R. Rao of the Archso- logical Survey of India, lent enthusiastic support to the scheme, when I piaced the scheme for the first time before the committee. Dr. A V. Narasimha Murthy, Head of the Department of Ancient History and Archaeology, has helped me from the beginning in the implementation of the scheme. In a way, he himself pioneered this scheme. It is a matter of deep regret that Dr. M. Seshadri, who was the Head of the Department of Ancient Indian History and Archao- logy and was guiding me in many respects passed away before the publication of the first volume. Dr. G. S. Gai, Chief Epigraphist to the Government of India, and his colleagues haye helped me at every step wilh their valuable advice. Dr. Gai and Dr. K. V. Ramesh have helped me with solutions whenever I was confronted with problems. They have gone through some of the portions of this volume. It is a matter of good fortune for a scheme of this type to be able to utilise the services of such eminent scholars. The members of the Advisory Committee have helped me with their expert guidance marked by experience and scholarship. The Director of the Univer- sity Press. Sri H. Narasanna, and his staff have extended their full co-operation in printing this work, which is none too easy a task. Sri K. R. Sunderraj, Photographer of the Institute of Kannada Studies, has evinced keen interest in making this volume illustrative. The officials of the University and my collegues in the various sections of the Iiistitute have co-operated with me and lightened the burden of my responsibility. The Director General of the Archaelogical Survey of India has kindly permitted us to bring out a revised edition of this volume. My thanks are due to all of them.

A special reference to Prof. D. Javare Gowda, Vice-Chancellor of our University, is neces- sary in this connection. He has been a tower of strength to me in carrying on the activities of the Institute of Kannada Studies, and in the implementation of this scheme since its very inception. But for his support and assurance, I would not have come forward to shoulder the responsibility of a big scheme as this. He has evinced in this scheme also the same love and

14

enthusiasm characteristic of him in respect of the developmental activities of the University and those relating to Kannada. 1 remember him with whole hearted gratitude.

Success in schemes of this type largely depends on the colleagues who share the responsibility. It is dilEcult to secure the services of experts in such technical subjects as Epigraphy. Fortu- nately, this scheme of the revision and re-print of Epigraphia Camatica has been able to enlist the services of experts and competent scholars in the field. I am extremely happy about it. Sri M. Hanumantha Rao began his work on this scheme in the capacity of an Assistant Epigraphist. He was formerly the Assistant Director in the Departmcnt of Archseology, Government of Mysore, where he has spent many years of his life amidst inscriptions. Two of the young schoiars, Sri H. M. Nagaraja Rao and Sri Sitaram Jagirdar, have joined us as Epigraphical Assis- tants. Only very recently could we seciire the services of Dr. B. R. Gopal as an Epigraphist. Dr. Gopal has served in the Epigraphical Branch of the Archxological Survey of India and the Karnatak University for several years. He has published several books and articles and has also edited volumes of inscriptions. With the assistance of these scholars, I am confidenl that the scheme could be completed during the next four or five years. Most of the work relating to the present volume has been done by Sri Hanumantha Rao. He has finally revised the texts and has prepared the notes. He had prepared the first drafts of the introduction and the translations, which have been revised and given a final shape by Dr. Gopal. All these colleagues have shared this responsibility with great faith and pride. I am sure that their sincerity, devotion and industriousness will be duly appreciated by the Kannadigas. I aiways feel happy to refer to them.

I once again thank all those who have directly or indirectly participated in this great endeavour.*

BENJAMIN LEWIS RICE

Benjamin Lewis Rice, one of the great European orientalists, was born on July 17, 1837. After completing his education in England he served there for a few years. Then he came to Bangalore in 1860, and was appointed as the Head-master of the Central High School. He was the Inspector of Schools in Mysore and Coorg between 1865 and 1868. In 1868 he became the Director of Public Instruction in Mysore State which position he held till 1883. He was also the Secretary to the Hunter's Committee in 1882. In 1883 he became the Secretary to the Govern- ment, Education Department. When the Department of Archsology was established in the Mysore State in 1884 he was appointed part-time Director of Archaeological Researches, in addi- tion to his duties as the Secretary. Finally, in the year 1890, Government of Mysore recognising the value of the archsological researches, appointed Rice as the fuU-time Director of the Depart- ment. He continued in this position till 1906. After 22 years of strenuous and valuable service, at the age of 70 he retired from Government Service.

Rice acquainted himself with this country, its people and language at a very early age. His extensive tours in the State both as Inspector of Schools and as Director of Public Instruction enabled him to acquire a first-hand knowledge of the then Mysore State. He also collected a large number of manuscripts, local traditions and historical records. His experience and collectionofthesematerialsenabled him tocdit his two famous volumes of the Mysore Gazetteer, first published in 1877-78 and again revised in 1897, in such a comprehensive manner. It was he who prepared the first Census Report of the Mysore State in 1881.

Inscriptions which were prominently visible in front of the villages or near temples naturally attracted the attention of Rice. He began to study these inscriptions as a hobby and published research articles. In the very first volume of Indian Antiquary, started in 1876 by Burgess, Rice's article on Mercara copper plate records appeared. In 1879 his ' Mysore Inscriptions ' was published. In it he gave translations of many inscriptions discovered at various places in the State.

Immediately after taking charge of the Department of ArchEeology he began the publication of the series entitled Epigraphia Carnatica and issued Volume I " Coorg Inscriptions " inl886. His next volume was " Inscriptions at Sravanabelgola ", published in 1889.

When he took over the Department of Archsology as a full-time Director in 1890, systematie survey for the materials of archaeological interest became possible. An enthusiastic organiser and a zealous scholar, Rice toured all parts of the Mysore State and collccted thousands of inscriptions. In the course of sixteen years of his directorship he brought out ten more large Volumes of Epigraphia Carnatica. Each volume generally consists of the inscriptions discovered in a District. Shimoga District, however, is rcpresented in two volumes.

Total number of inscriptions he published in these twelve volumes is 8869. Most of them areofgreat value in elucidating the history of Karnataka. These inscriptions form an indis- pensible source of information for the study of the history and culture of Karnataka. Epigraphi- cal disccveries madeby Rice enabled him to trace the history of Karnataka back to the 3rd century B.C. The results of these collections were summarised.by Rice in a separate volume entitled Mysore and Coorg from Inscriptions.

Side by side, he also collected thousands of manuscripts. These were deposited in the Mysore Government Oriental Library which was established for this purpose. In 1884 he also initiated the series entitled feibliotheca Carnatica in which he brought out a few highly important Kannada classical works, viz. Karnataka-Bhasha-Bhushana, Karnataka-Sabdanusasana, Pampa- Ramayana, Pampa-Bharata, Kavirajamarga and Kavyavalokana.

20

After retirement he left India and settled at Harrow. Even from there he coniinued to contribute on various subjects pertaining to Karnataka and prepared the revised edition of the Epigraphia Carnatica, Volume I for the Government of India which was published in 1914. He died on the 10 of July 1927 at the ripe age of ninety.

L. D. Barnett writes about him ' A mao of untiring industry, wide learning and earnest devotion to the pursuit of truth, he has rendered exceedingly great services to the cause of knowledge by the stimulus which he has given to historical and literary studies in South India '.

INTRODUCTION

In the year 1886, B. Lewis Rice published the first edition of " Coorg Inscriptions" which formed the first volume in the series entitled Epigraphia Carnatica. This volume contained translations and transliterations of 23 inscriptions discovered by him in the Coorg District which was then a separate state. When he had to compile the Gazetteer of Coorg for the New Imperial Gazetteer of India, Rice found it necessary to resurvey the area. The inscriptions newly dis- covered during thisresurvey were included in theBangalore and Tumkur volumes (IX and XII) of Epigraphia Carnatica as supplements. All the inscriptions discovered in the Coorg area till then were again put together and a revised edition of ' Coorg Inscriptions ' was published by Rice in the year 1914.

The revision of this volume has now been taken up. In order to compare the texts of the printed inscriptions with the originals, two survey tours were undertaken. Several inscriptions were compared with the originals and corrections made. Texts of a few inscriptions which could not be traced during this survey have been retained as they were in the previous edition. During this survey 32 inscriptions, not known before, have been brought to light.

The number of inscriptions in the present edition is 106 while the previous edition contained 75. No. 72 of the previous edition has not been included here as no letter in it could be deciphered.

Though the inscriptions are few in number they are of importance in tracing the history of the Coorg District. Most of them can be assigned to specific dynasties or kings. They have been briefly discussed here.

gXngas

The earliest of the inscriptions in Coorg District shows that this area formed a part of Gangavadi, the territory of the Gangas. No. 1, the Mercara copper plate record found in the treasury at Mercara, was the first of the series of copper plate records of the Gangas discovered and published by B.L. Rice. This is a set of three plates secured by a ring and an elephant seal Each plate measures 18 cms X 7i cms. The first and the last plates are engraved on the inner sides only. It is not known as to when and by whom these plates were deposited in the Mercara treasury. They were brought to the notice of Burgess by Graeter, and are now deposited in the Lutheran Mission Museum at Basle in Switzerland.

The writing is in Hale-Kannada characters and ihe engraving is rather crude. The language of the introductory part dealing with the genealogy and the date is Sanskrit ; but the details of the grantand houndaries of the viliages granted are in Kannada. The whole record is in prose except for the four imprecatory verses at the end.

This copper plate record registers a gift made by the Ganga king Kongunimahadhiraja

Avinita. The record begins with an invocation to god Padmanabha and then narrates the

genealogy of the Gangas commencing from Kongunimahadhiraja of the Jahnaveya family and

Kanvayana gotra. It is as follows :

Konguni

I Madhava I

I Harivarma

I Vishnugopa

I Madtiava II

Kongunimahadhiraja Avinita.

Madhava I is stated to have been the author of the commentary on Dattakasutra. Vishnu- gopa is described as the worshipper of the holy feet of god Narayana, while his son Madhava II was the devotee of Tryarhbaka. His wife, Avinita's mother, was the beloved sister of the Kadamba king Krishnavarmma-mahadhiraja.

The record registers a gift of Badaneguppe and other villages to the §rivijaya Jinalaya of Talavananagara made over to a Jaina priest by name Chandanandi-bhatara. The spiritual pedigree of this ascetic is given as follows :

Gunachandra-bhatara

Abha[ya]nandi-bhatara

I Silabhadra-bhatara

I Jayanandi-bhatara

Gunanandi-bhatara

I Chandanandi-bhatara

These belonged to Desigagana and Kondakundanvaya.

The date of the grant is stated to be the year 388, Magha, Svati-nakshatra, su. panchami, Somavara. No cyclic year is mentioned. It is also not clear if the year 388 refers to the 5aka era. If this is taken as the Saka year, the given date would correspond to 466 A.D. But the details regarding the week day and the nakshatra do not tally. In Saka 388, Magha §u. 5 fell on Wednesday and not on Monday and the nakshatra was Uttarabhadrapada and not Svati.

The grant, which consisted of the village Badaneguppe situated in Edenad Sevenly of the Punad Six Thousand division,was first obtained by theminister (mantri) of Akalavarsha Prithvi- vallabha from Avinita-maharaja and was given to the Jaina priest for the maintenance of Sri- vijaya Jinalaya at Talavananagara. Talavananagara is the same as Talakad (in Mysore District), the capital of the Gangas, situated on the banks of the Ka^eri. Badaneguppe, the village granted, and some other villages named are also situated in Mysore District. Punad Six Thousand in which the village was situated was the Punnata kingdom located in Heggadadcvanakote and neighbouring Taluks with Kirtipura or Kittiir, on the banks of the Kabini river, as its capital.

The witnesses for the grant made are listed. Therein figure NaHdyaia of Maniyugura and Simbala. It is interesting to note that these figure as witnesses in several other Ganga records. Also the Tagadas of Gaijiganur are cited as witnesses. This Gauiganur may be identified with Gaoagur in Somavarpet Taluk. This is a place of great antiquity, associated with the Gangas whose records are found here.

The plates were engraved by Visvakarma, which was a common official designation for the courtengraver.

There is a controversy regarding the authenticity of this record. Fleet and some other scholars have raised objection for accepting the Ganga copper plate charters as genuine, while, B.L. Rice has tried to establish the credibility of these records^ Without entering into ihe details, the following points may be noted about the prescnt copper plate record.

A large number of Ganga copper plate records have been discovered and on a comparative study, it is now possible to separate the genuine records from the others. The present plates profess to havebeen issued in 466 A.D. As already seen, the details of the date do not tally. The known genuine copper plate records issued by the Ganga kings earlier to Sivamara I do

not mention the Saka years. The Tagadur, Tanjore and Kudalur plates of Harivarma mention the years evidently of the Saka era like the present one. But they are treated as spurious records. On a closer examination, the characters of the present record betray a later date than the one which the record mentions. They tend to show the later cursive forms. Letters ka and ra have not only become shortened, but are inclined towards roundingas in the vjoxAs kaxadu ?ixid. Kagani tatakam m Wnc 23 and pardkrama and rajya in line 11 etc. The engraving is rather crudeandthelines arenotstraight which is not expected from an expert scribe of a royal court. There are also numerous orthographical errors. The Kannada language used in the record is faulty and dcfinitely indicates a later form and not Early- Kannada. Even the size of the platcs are not usual to the period to which it purports to belong. They are too broad when comparcd to the other genuine records of the 5th century A.D. These facts clearly show that this is not a genuine record as made out by Mr. Rice.

However, the record furnishes the correct gcnealogy of the Gangas up to Avinita and the epithets used for each one of thcm are found to be the same as in mostof the genuine records. At best we may say that thisrecord is a copy of the orginal that might have come into existence aboutthe 9th century A.D. Even then, it is a badly executed copy. One is reminded of the Uttanur plates of thc Ganga king Durvinita issued in his 20th regnal year, published in M- A. R. 1916 p. 44. A copy of this record found at the same place, which is crudely executed with all the traits of a spurious copper plate» is also published in M.A.R. 1917 p. 37.

Since the rccord is not genuine, not much weight need be attached to the information it gives about Akalavarsha Prithvivallabha or his minister and other details about the grant.

The next Ganga record, in chronological order, to be noticed herein, is No. 96. This record, dated Saka 809, the details corresponding to 888 A.D. February 21, is a royal grant of twelve viUages, the Biliyur 12, te the Jaina monk Sarvanandideva, disciple of Sivanandi- siddhanta-bhatara for the maintenance of the temple, named Satyavakya Jinalaya at Pennegadanga. The name of the king is given as Satyavakya Kongunivarmma-dharmama- hadhiraja Permanadi. He is obviously the same as Rachamalla II who bore also the name Satyavakya. The temple appears to have been named after him. It is said to be situated in Penijegadariga. Mr. Rice says that by ' kadanga ' is meant a ' war-trench ' (see his Introduction, p. 8) in which case Pennegadariga may be the name of either one such trench or a village situated near about such a trench- It should be noted that the record itself is found in a ' kadahga ' in Biliyur, where, however, no traces of a temple are found.

Rice has identified Peddore occurring in this record with Lakshmana-tirtha and has translated Peddoregareya BUwr-ppannirppalli as the twelve hamlets of BijiOr in Peddoregare, i.e., on the bank of the Peddore. But among the witnesses to the gift figure the Seventy of Beddoregare. This seems to indicate ibat BiIiur-12 was situated in, or a subdivision of, a bigger geographical unit named Beddoregare. In No. 98, dated 978 A.D., it is stated that Srimat Rakkasa, the younger brother of Rachamalla IV v/as administering Beddoragare. This also would show that Beddoragare was the name (and head quarters?) of a geographical division.

The date given in this record (No. 98) is interesting. It is stated as Phalguna sukla pakshada Nandlsvaram taledevasamdge. Nandisvara is a Jaina ritual observed in the months of Ashadha, Karttika and Phalguna, in the bright fortnight, commencing from the eighth day and ending on the full-moon day. Since it ends cn the 15th day, it is described as taledevasa, the final day, of Nandisvara. Hence the tithi of the date would be su 15.

No. 97 is another, but i.-ndated, record of Satyavakya Konguijivarma Permanadigal, i.e., Rachamalla II. It states that the king tied the Permdilivatta on the forehead of an individual <name not given), son of Jadala Ereyariga-gavunda, and that it was a A'a//ia(fM. Obviously, the

father passed away and in his office, his son was installed as permmadi. The stipulated ten gadydnas out of the 5/tf^/ii7>'a and 100 (measures of ?) paddy were bestowed upon him, probably as the remuneration for the cffice he held. Kalnadu like nettarugodige, was the term applied to a grant made to the family of a man who fell in war. Buvayya is stated to have written this record.

Three more records, Nos. 64, 90 and 98, refer to the Ganga kings. Of these, No 98, already noticed above, belongs to the reign of Rachamalla IV, son of Marasimha II, who ruled between 974-999 A.D. The record refers to his younger brother Rakkasa Rakkasa Ganga as he is called inother records— who was administering Beddoragare in978 A D. The record states that it was a rfw/// of Sripurusha-maharaja. It is not possible to say if this means that the original grant was made by Sripurusha, two centuries earlier and it was renewed now. The other two epigraphs (Nos 64and 90) refer respectively to Ereyappa and Konganivarma. They arc in cha- racters of the lOth century A.D. Ereyappa may be ihe son of Butuga I. Who Konganivarma was, cannot be said. The records are too fragmentary to be definite in this respect.

BANAS (?)

Commenting upon the Yedur inscription dated 1095 A.D. (No. 62) Mr. Rice has opined that mahamandalesvara Duddarasa of the record was a Kadamba chief, identical with a maha- [raja?] Duddharasa who figures in a record from Halebelur in Manjarabad Taluk, Hassan District, adjacent t o Somavarapet Taluk (Ep. Carn., Vol. V, Mj. 18). The reasons for such identification were firstly, that both the records are dated 1095 A.D., and secondly, both the persons bore the same name, viz., Duddarasa. But this is certainly not justified. The Manjara- bad record belongs to the reign period of Dayasimhanripa whose genealogy is given as foUow :

Chagimaharaja

I Duddha m Mechalarasi

Sartthiganripa Chagimaharaja II Dayasimhanripa

It registers a gift of land etc, by Mechaladevi, mother of iDayasimha to the lemple of Vasudeva got built by her. The date of thisrecord is Saka 1017, Yuva,Chaitra su. 7. Wednesday. The epithsxs Banavdsipuravaradhisvara and Kadamim-kula-kamula-mdrttandawicd herein definitely show that this chief belonged to the Kadamba family.

On the other hand, our record, dated 4 months later, in the same year but in the month of Sravana §u. 2, Surday, refers to the chief Duddarasa as Tripurddlnsvara, Balindra-kula-kamala- mdrttanda and Baliyara-Bhima. These titles are in no way connected with the Kadambas. We may surmise, on the basis of these, that he might have belonged to a Bana family. Further, our record is in memory of Duddarasa who might have died a few days earlier than the date of the record, while even four montbs earlier we find Dayasimha, obviously as the ruling chief, since it refers only to the gift made by his mother, but does not mention his father who mighi have passed away by then.

Also there is a clear diflference in the genealogy. Our chief was the son of Hitteyarasa and Junjaladevi and his wife was Chikaladevi. Chagimaharaja figuring in the Manjarabad epigrapb cannot be brushed aside as " the titular name of his father," since his son also is named Chagi- maharaja, after his father. AU these show that Duddarasa of No. 62 was not a Kadamba, but perhaps a Bana cheif.

KONGALVAS

With the conquest of Gangjvadi by Rajaraja Chola at the close of the lOth century A.D., the political condition in Coorg changed. Cho}as did not annex this area, but allowed it to be ruled by a family of rulers lcnown as the Kongalvas. The circumstances under which the Kongalvas came into power is explained in inscription No. 65. The great Chola king, the friend of the virgin daughter of Kavera (that is, the river Kaveri), Rajakesarivarmma Permmanadigal, that is Rajaraja, on hearing that Manija had fought in the battle of Panasoge until the enemies were overcome and slain, resolved to reward him with a patta, or diadem, and give him a ndd- He instructed his general Parichavan-maharaya, who there upon lied on him a patta bearing the title Kshatriya-silihdmani Kongdlya and gave him Malavvi, the present Malambi in Somavarapet Taluk. This Pafichavan maharaya, it has been surmised, was identical with Rajendra-ChSla. son of Rajaraja i who was then the crown-prince. Since the battle at Panasoge took place in about 1004 A.D., the beginnings of the Kongalvas also may be traced to the same year. From this record it becomes clear that the Puranic interpretation of the river Kaveri that she was the daughter of Kavera and that she devoted herself to removing the sins of all people, was already in vogue during the 1 Ith century A.D- The names of the vsitnesses like Gavunda-Racha- mma, Nanniyameru, and Nallur Ereyanga-gavunda denote that they were formerly the devout subjects of the Gangas. The territory, of which Manija was put in charge, must be Ye}usavira- sime round about Malambi which approximately corresponded with the territory governed by the Ganga prince Ereyappa in the latter part of the 9th century A.D.

^ About a dozen inscriptions in Coorg District refer to the rule of the Korigalvas. A few more may be assigned to the period of their rule although they do not mention the ruling kings. They are mainly religious in character. Some of them are viragals which are mostly mutilated and fragmentary and hence the details about the ruling dynasty or the king cannot be decided with precision. It is, therefore, highly difBcult to trace the genealogy of the Kongalva rulers and to assign the inscriptions to any particular king.

Rice makes out the foUowing genealogy of the Korigalvas (Vol. I. Introduction p. 17-18)

Rajendrachola Kongalva (1026 A.D-)

!

I Rajadhiraja (mother Pochabbarasi)

1 I Rajendra II (1058 A.D.)

I I succeeded by

Rajendra Prithuvi Konga}va (1066-1100) (Adataraditya ; Tribhuvanamallach6}a Kongalva)

Vira Chola Korigalva (1176) But, an analysis of the records of the District would show that this is not beyond doubt- No. 67 of the present volume refers to the rule of a Korigalva, who, however, does not bear any Cb6}a prenomen. The record is undated, but is in characters of ihe I Ith century. We know from a record in Arakalagud Taluk (E. C. Vol. V, Ag 76), dated 1026 A.D., that a Rajendrach6la Konga}va fought against a Hoysa}a whom he defeated. The record of 1058 A.D. (No. 72) from Mulliir registers grants by Rajendrachola Koriga}va, to a basadi built by his father whose name, however, is not given. No. 68, on a wall in the Parsvanatha basadi of thc same placp, refers to the construction of that basadi by Pochabbarasi, mother of Rajadhiraja

Kongalva. No. 69, engraved on the basement of the same, states that Rajadhiraja Kongalva was the son of Rajendrachola and that he made over this vasasthdna to Gunasenapandita, of Tivuli gana, Arungalanvaya and Nandi sangha. This preceptor is referred to as the guru of Pochabbarasi, mother of Rajadhiraja Kongalva. Hence, we may conclude that Rajadhiraja Kongalva was the son of Rajendrachola Kongajva.

We have seen above that the name of Rajendrachola Kongalva appears twice, in 1026 A.D. and 1058 A.D. We do not know if the two are identical. If the basadi was built sometime earlier than 1058 A.D., say in 1050 A.D., we have to surmise that Rajendrachoja Kohgalva's father was then the ruling chief. His name is not given. But, since Rajendrach6la's son was Rajadhiraja, his father may have been also known as Rajadhiraja. Since they were Chola subordinates and assumed the names of their masters, this surmise gains strength. Rajadhiraja was ihe Chola king then. If so, Rajendrachola figuring in 1026 A.D. may have been this Rajadhiraja's father. But this is only a surmise-

The next two steps in the genealogy are easy. Rajendrachola IPs wife was Pochabbarasi and son Rajadhiraja. No. 70, in characters of the 11 th century, mentions a Rugmini-mahadevi as having consccrated some image in tbe basadi at MuHur. She figures in a much later record dated 1390 A.D. (No. 75), in association with Rajadhiraja Kohga}va. She may in all likelihood, be the wife of Rajadhiraja.

Nos. 48 & 49, both dated 1070 A.D., refer to the rule of Rajendra Prithuvi Kongalva. No. 81 dated 1077 A.D., also belongs to Rajendrachola Kongalva. The two may be identieal.

He was the successor of Rajadhiraja II. His wife was Padmaladevi. An undated, badly mutilated, record (No. 73) refers to a Prithuvi Kongalva who may be the same as Rajendrachola Prithvi Kongalva. Rice says that he was known also as Adataraditya or Tribhuvanamalla Chola Kohgalva. But of tbis we cannot be certain.

No. 87 dated 1175 A.D. refers to the rule of mahamandalcsvara Virachola Kongalva who is the latest chief kcown. No. 53 isadamaged record of Vlrachola Kongalva, who is in all probabi- lity the same as above. The extant.portion of the epigraph cites the cyclic year Manmatha, in which case this may also be dated 1 175 A.D. No. 87 registers a gift by ihe chief in the presence of tayi Padumaladcvi Somaladcvi and others- Since two persons of the same name were the wife and daughter respectively of Hoysala Ballala II, who had by then become the overlord of the Koiigalvas, Rice thought that the two women mentioned in our record were identical with them. But this is doubtful. The said two personalities wouldnot have been mentioned without any title or honorific terms, more so when they were the queen and daughter respectively of the overlord. Padmaladevi was a common name and we have seen that a queen of Rajendrachola Korigalva was known by that name.

The above discussion would yield the genealogy of the Kohgajvas thus :

Rajendrachola (known date 1026 A D.)

I

Rajadhiraja

I

Rajendrachola II m Pochabbarasi (1058 A.D.)

I Rajadhiraja II m Rukminidevi

I Rajendra Pritbuvi Kohgalva m Padmaladevi (1070, 1077 A.D.)

Vira Choja Kohgalva (1175 A.D.)

CHANGALVAS

Like the Kongalvas, the Changalvas also ruled over parts of Coorg District. Although the Malambi record (No. 65) does not show that the Changalvas suffered defeat at the hands of the Cholas as stated by Mr. Rice, stiil, it is a fair surmise that the Cholas occupicd the territories that were being ruled by the Kongalvas and Changalvas in Coorg, Hassan and Mysore Districts. The earliest known Changalva-Nanni Changajva-bears the Chola prenomen, Rajendrachola. So far as the present volume is concerncd, though there are about 7 records which refer to ihe Changalvas directly, they are not helpful to reconstruct the genealogy and chronology of this family of Chiefs. What we get are certain stray names and even there the extant records. because of their mutilated condition, do not give us dates and other necessary details.

The earliest Changalva that figures in this volume is mahdmandalesvara Tribhuvanamalla

Vira Changa in No. 91 which is fragmentary. It is engraved in characters

of the 12th century. Neither the complete name, nor the date is available. Tribhuvanamalla may as well be a title, if not a part of thc name itseif.

Records of the 13th century supply names of three more chiefs of this family, Muni- varaditya, Mallideva and Hariharadeva. No. 36 is a damaged and fragmentary record that refers to Munivaraditya twice, once in association with Changaluva. It is quite doubtfully indecd that we surmise that this Munivaraditya was a Cbangalva. Nos. 50 and 51 also are fragmentary records of the 13th century. Both of thcm refer to Mallideva and Hariharadeva who are taken to be Changalvas. The former of the two figures in a record at Naranapura (E C. Vol. V, Bl. 89) dated 1280 A.D. wherein he is described as mahamandaleivara Kulottungachoja SrJ Vira- Changalva. These two are mentioned together, in the records under rcview. It is possible that Hariharadeva was a son of Mallideva and ruled joinily with his father during his last years. Hariharadeva figures as ruling alone, in No. 80 dated 1296 A.D. He is herein referred to as Hariharadeva Choladeva. It is perhaps the same chief that is mentioned in another damaged record (No. 60).

The last chief of this family occurring in this volume is Srikantharasa, in an epigraph from Cherala Sirimangala (No. 35) dated 1544 A.D., almost 250 years later. This would indicate that the Changalvas continued to retain their subordinate position for nearly six centuries in spite of the great political changes that the territory had witnessed in course of those lont periods. u3.tjiDo«^

HOYSALAS

There are only a few inscriptions in the Coorg District which canbe directly attributed to the Hoysalas. No. 93 is at Siraha. It is dated 1175 A. D. and belongs to the reign of Hoysala-bhujabala Vira-Ballala-deva, that is, Ballala II. The record registers a grant for god Mallikarjuna of Sirivur. It contains the signature of the king {Sri Marevokkara kdvuru) at the end. Siraha is said in the record to have been in Biluhunad. No. 42 from Heggadahalli is another record of the king, engraved on a hero-stone. This viragal has the usual three panels depicting the hero's fight, his ascending to the heavcn and he being seatcd in the Kailasa. But the usual intervening bands are absent and the mscription is found on the back side of the stone which is rather unusual. The record gives various Hoysala titles like Yddava-kuldmbara- dvimani, samyaktva-chuddmani, malarajardja, Malaparolu-ganda, Gandabherunda,kadana-prachanda, asahdya-siira,yekdnga-vira,Sanivdra-siddhi,Giridurgamalla,etc., which apply to Bailala II. The last two or three lines which appear to give further titles are not clear. But the record abruptly stops. The purpose of the record is thus not known. It is not even clcar if the record has anything to do with the vlragal depicted on the other side of the stone. Howevcr,

it may be noted that it is the only record so far discovered in the Coorg District, which mentions all the Hoysala titles.

Nos. 85and86 are viragah at Niduta belonging to the reign of Narasimha III. The heroes for whose memory these vlragals have beea set up belonged to Kahigod. One of the heroes was Biragauda"s son Somaiya who accompanied Bumbiya-nayaka ar.d the servant (duta) Bimayya Somanna to the battle and died, in 1255 A.D. His brother Marigauda and son Mayiga set up the viragal for him. The other was Maratamma who died fighting the enemies of his lord inI285 A.D. The viragal was set up by his brother and sons. Kahigod is in the neighbour- ing Taluk of Arakalgud. It is interesting to note that similar viragals for these two persons with the same inscriptions, have been set up at Kahigod also.

Another inscription, No. 76, dated 1216 A.D., belongs to the Hoysala period, but ihe name of the king mentioned in it is worn out. It records the death of Vidyadhara BQchidevarasa who is described as a rayakatakdcharya.

KING BODHARUPA

Two stone inscriptions, one at Palur and the otherat Bhagamandala (Nos. 20 and 21) belong to the 14th century A.D. Both of them are peculiar, their characters being a jumble of Grantha, Malayalam, Tamil and Vatteluttu. Even the language appears to have some curious features. It is mainly in Tamil, but Malayalam and Tulu forms are also fcund in some words. The opening portions of both records are in Sanskrit verse.

They register grants made by a king named Bddharupa Bhagavar. He was a disciple of Avidyamrityu-bhaltaraka of the Purushottama-parshad. However, it is not clear who this king was.

Ofthesetwo inscriptions, which have several features in common, No. 20 is a grant for Palayiir Mahadeva (Siva). The responsibility of maintaining the grant is iaid upon the Sri- vaisbnavas, the Vaknchiyar (or merchants), the arm-bearing thousands and the Brahmanas, all being described as of the Eighteen countries, {Padinendesi ot Padineitunad) which are not specified-

In No. 21, we are supplied with certain astronomical data, but they are insufficient for calcu- lation. This grant implies that it was made after the one at Palur, tbough dcubtless, at about the same time. Moreover, the original is stated in it to have been engraved on a copperplate. Of this there is now no trace. Bodharupa was associaied witb others, not named, in making the grant. The grant was made at the holy Bhagandasrama which is the same as Bhagamandala, a sacred spot near the source of the river Kavgri. "■ ' -

A chief named Melpundi Kunniyarasa was ruling the nad. But ihe name of the nad is not mentioned. The rest of the inscription prescribes ihe offerings to be made and the penalties for neglecting them. The arm-bearing Thousand of the eigbteen countries and the Va}anchiyar are charged to guard the temple. For any omissions iBi.the record, it states, thata refereiice is lo be made to the treasury register and the copper plates. It was written (or engraved) by Pakandala- ayari {dclidri)

The Bhagandesvara temple consists of four small shrines within the enclosuie enshiining, besides Bhagandesvara, Vishnu, Subrahmanya and Ganapati. The shrines are built of granite and are in the Dravidian style with pilasters and niches on tae outer walls. They are similar to the Subrahmariya temple at Padi-

MLNIVARADITYA GOKULADEVARASA

Another local chief appears in a hero-stone No. 95, which is dated only in the cyclic year. Since the chciracters belong to the 13th century A.D,, the cyclic year Raktakshi given in the

record may correspond to 1264 A.D. He was mahamandalesvara Vira-Munivaraditya Gokula- devarasa and is described as a subduer of Chautu, and supporter of Satyaraya. His other titles were Chhaladanka-rama, tira-vajra-rudira and niare vokkara-kava. The record refers to a cattle raid at Yalaghale, which may be same as Uluguli, the findspot of the record.

Munivaraditya may, more probably.be connected with Mulivaraditya-nad orMunivaraditya- nad mentioned in No. 80 of 1296 A.D., which was evidently in Coorg District. One Malli- karjuna of Mulivaraditya-nad is said in this record to have associated himself with various others in attacking the Mullur fort.

VIJAYANAGARA KINGS

Though we do not come across inscriptions directly connected with the Vijayanagara emperors, except one, it is evident that the empire had its influence and authority over the District of Coorg. No. 75, dated 1390 A.D., is a stone inscription near the basadis at MuHur. It informs us that Harihara II having read the deed of the original dedication of grants made formerly by Rajadhiraja Kongalva for the merit of his mother Pochabbarasi, got them renewed. The cmperor made a grant of Mullu-nad to an ofificer named Gonkaraddi-nayaka, in recognition of his bravery, which had been brought to his notice by his commander Gundappa-dandanayaka. It registers also gifts of villages Kumaranahalli and Karagod, renamed respectively asBhimapura and Annangapura, to God Parsvanatha.

BELUR CHIEFS

Three inscriptions, Nos. 28, 94 and 66, 'belong to the Belur Chiefs. No. 28 is a copper plate record dated 1693 A. D. and registers a grant of two villages, Kattepura and Hirumanaha}li to a Brahmana named Yogapaiya by Krishnappa-nayaka IV. Kattepura was situated in Nirgunda-sthala of Tunga-nad in Arakalgod-vajita. According to this inscription the familyofthe Belur chiefs descenJed from Yara-Krishnappa-nayaka, on whom the Vijaya- nagara king Krishnaraya bestowed the Beiur sime. Krishnappa-nayaka IV was the son of Venkatadri-nayaka III and grand-son of Krishnappa-nayaka III. His signature appears at the end of the record as Sri Krishna.

No. 94 is agrant of the village Mudravalli made by the Belur king Krishnappa-nayaka to a greatjt^og^znamed Kaivalya, asan offering to Krishna. The inscription in Sanskrit verse, isinchara- cters of the 18th century and hence may be assigned to Krishnappa-nayaka V. The last verse in Sanskrit is incomplete and stops abruptly after asking the question 'If it be asked, for what reason was this given ? ' The sage Kaivalya is highly praised as the best ofthe illustrious paramahamsa-parivrdjakas, a great yogi, as ever solcly devoted to wisdom and as a yati-kunjara. The next record, No. 66, at Malambi is dated 1756 A.D. and states that the same Krishnappa- nayaka made a grant of the village-rent to Rachegauda of Malambi.

Ths above recordj indicate that some parts of Coorg District were under the Belur chiefs during the 18th century A.D.

RAJAS OF COORG

The Rajas of Coorg ruled the area for two hundred years from about 1633 to 1834A.D., first from the capital atHaleri and then from Mercara. There are a large number of records such as letters, correspondence and the accounts of contemporary foreign wrjters as also the work, 'Rajendranama', a history of Coorg compiled under the supervision of Virarajendra-vadeyar I in 1808 A.D., for enumerating the history of this period. But the epigraphical source is

very scanty. For a period of two hundred years of their reign, there are not more tban twentyfive inscriptions in all. Still, these inscriptions supply some important data for writing the history of Coorg under the Rajas.

The Rajas of Coorg claim to belong to Chandravamsa or Lunar race, Bharadvaja-gotra, .Asvalayana-sutra, and Rilc-sakha and were the followers of Virasaiva religion. Instead of Rik- sakha, the earlier records such as Nos. 29, 31, 32, 63, etc, mention Rikshabhanukadhyaya. The titles they assumed were rajadhiraja, rajaparamesvara, praitdha-pratapa, apratima-vira-narapati and ' seated on the jewelled throne of the Kodagu-samsthana '. In someof the later inscriptions, of Lingarajendra-vadeyar II and Virarajendra-vadeyar II (Nos. 3, 9, 1 1 etc), the following additional titles are also found : Kshiranagara-madhya-paribhrdjamana-manigana-khachita-chdru-simhdsana- rudha, apratima-pratdpa-prakdsa-prahasita-martdnda-mandala, akhandal-dkhanda-vaibhava-sameta sakala-digantardla-vidydttama-samdna-kirti-prakhydta,samasta-prasasta-rajadharmavadhdrana-Yudhi- shthira and mahdrdja.

As they began their rule over the kingdom of Coorg from Haleri, they are known as Haleri kings, and even the laler kings, who had their seat at Mercara, describe themselves as seated on the iliustrious, jewelled and beautiful throne in the ancient Kshiranagara i.e., Haleri.

Their earHer inscriptions are generally dated in the Salivahana Saka, whereas in the later ins- criptions both the Saka and the Kaliyuga years are mostly mentioned side by side. The inscrip- tions from the time of Lingaraja II have another peculiarity vi:., in addition to ihe particulars of date given in the usual manner, they even mention the precise numbcr of the day of the Kaliyuga. For example, Nos. 9and II inform usthat the erectionof the Omkaresvara temple wascommenced ou the 1796392nd Kali day and completed on 1797421st day. Similariy, No. 8 mentions 1794663rd Kali day as the day of the commencement of the construction of the palace at Mercara and 1795433rd Kali day as the day of its completion.

The earliest recordoftbe Rajas of Coorg so far discovered is No. 40 which isdated 13th February, 1730 A.D. It is the record of a grant made fcr the services of the god Manjunatha of Kuduma by Haleri Virappa-vadeyar. This Virappa-vadeyar must be Dodda-Virappa, son of Mudduraja I, who ruled from 1687 to 1736 A^D. No titles of the king are mentioned in the record. Though he was ruling from Mercara to which place his father Mudduraja had shifted his headquarters in 1681 according to ' Rajendranama', he is addressed in the present inscription as Haleri Virappa-vadeyar. The grant consisted of HeggadahaUi and Sirangala along with their twenty nine hamlets granted as iarvamdnya. Kuduma appears to be the same as Kanive, about a kilometre from HeggadahaUi where there is an old Siva temple which is noted for its sanctity. No. 41, though not dated, belongs to the same date as that of the previous one and records that the trisilla and damaru carved below the inscription, are the symbols of the god Manjunatha of Kuduma. The same figures are found carved below the inscription No. 40.

Though No. 40 of 1730 A.D. is theearliest record of Dodda-Virappa.there isareference in a later record, No. 63, to a grant made by him in 1728 A.D. It is a copper plate grant issued by Virarajendra-vadeyar I renewing the grant of two villages previously made by Dodda-Virappa- vadeyar, his grand father's elder brother to Abbiroatha near Yedur. This is an important Vira^aivamatha established and endowed by Dodda-Virappa. The matha is situated in a picturesque valley with a small stream rushing down from a rocky eminence by its side.

There are two inscriptions at Madapura recording the deaih of Lingarajendra 1. No. 31 is on the metallic flag fixed on ihe top of the finial of his samddhi. This has a seal with ihe letter ' Vi ' at the centre and the Kali year 4881, the year bf Lingarajendra's death, engraved below it. No. 29 is on the front wall of the same samddhi . Lingarajendra I died on 29th February,

1779 A.D., and ia accordaace with his wishes his son Virarajeadra-vadeyar erected his tomb in Mahadevapura (now Madapura in Somavarapet Taluk), built a temple over it and consecrated Basavesvara on the samadhi. He a!so built a matha of the Murigi sect and endowed it with certain villages. No. 29 furnishes the additional information that, at the instance of Sivalingappa, the (:/2a/-am!7/-r/of Kodali, the construction of the templebegan on lOth November, 1780 A.D. and vvas completed on 23rd April, 1782 A.D.

As already noted above, No. 63 was issued by Virarajendra-vadeyar. In this, the king descnbes himself as haviug been dedicated by the lotus hands of the jvowh' of the Siddapura matha who was an adherent of those (high priests) enthroned in the upper cave at Sivaganga. In addition to the renewing and confirming the grant of two villages HosahaHi and Jigattalli, pre- viously made by Dodda-Virappa in the year 1728 A.D., he also made a grant of another village named Bachalh on the occasion of the visit of Dodda-Virupakshasvami to Mercara. The details of these gifts were inscribed on a copper plate which was placed at the feet of Niracjanadeva of the Abbimatha representing the Murigisvami, in the year 1796 A.D. While granting this charter, the king requested that at the time of Sivapuja, blessings may be continually invoked (for him) with the hymn of benediction (saying) Recollection of former births, dominion of the world, the glory of good fortune, surpassing beauty, faith in thee, knowledge, long life (objects of) desire, (of these) be thou giver to me, Sankara, from age to age.

No. 32 is a grant of land made on the same day by the same king, for Mahadevapura matha. When the svami paid a visit to Mahadcvapura matha, the king performed obeisance to him and madc the gift as an oifericg to Siva. The copper plate on which it was inscribed was placed at the feet of Santavirasvami, the charamfirti of fhe Kodaii-Mahantasvami, charamiirti of Xhe Maha- Murigisvami. The record furnishes the details of income from the villages granted after making provision for the previous grants which indudcd puravurga, devamanya, bhutavuttdra, gavudumbali and ndyimanrni. The villages arc the same as mentioned in Nos. 29 and 31.

During the reignofthe same king, according to No. 22, images of Lakshminarayana and Kumarasvami and the processional image of Bhagandesvara were consecrated in the Bhagande- svara temple at Bhagamaridala. It is possiblc that these images, which had been rcmoved to some place of safety when Tipu"s army had occupied the temple and converted it into a fort, werc reconsecrated. This was done on Sunday, Ist of the bright fortnight of Magha. in the year Nala, Kali 4898, corresponding to 29th January, 1797 A.D., the day on which Virarajendra married Devammaji according to ' Rajendranama '.

No. 13isa stone inscription set up by Virarajendra-vadeyar I in memory of his trusted servant Biddandra Bopu. Bopu came from Bavali village in Kadiyattu-nadu. He joined service in 1789 A.D. and served the king for 19 years in various capacities and became a sirkdrekdr or commander-in-chief of the army. Kis devoted services to the king in his hunting expeditions and wars against Tipu Sultan have been extolled in the record. On his death on 6th December, 1807 A.D., the king got his epitaph prepared for the knowledge of all and set up before his samddhi. The record contains the signature cf Virarajendra-vadeyar at the end in English as ' Veer Rajindir '. The samddhi is wi;hin the precincts of the Rajas ' tombs. The boundary stones demarcating the area contain the mark of lingamiidre with the date Kali 4909 corresponding to 1807-8 A.D. (No. 16). From this, it becomes clear that the site was marked for the burial of the royal dignitaries in Kali 4909 in which year Devammaji the beloved queen of Virarajendra- vadeyar I, died. In the same year he appears to have begun the erection of a dignified structure above her tomb. But the very next year Virarajendra-vadeyar himself died and his body was aiso buried in the same structure which was completed by his brother Lingarajendra- vadeyar II. Lingaraja-vadeyar's tomb erected by his son Chikka-Virarajendra in 1820 A.D.

is to the right of Virarajendra's tomb and is exactly similar in plan. On all the doorways and windows of these two structures, which are very well carved in stone, the letter ' Vi ' in Kannada is inscribed indicating the name of the Raja. These structures along with the tomb of Lingarajendra I at Madapura as also the Omkaresvara temple built by Lingarajendra II at Mercara in 1820 A.D. are all in Indo-Sarcenic style, being square in plan, built on a high platform with a high dome in the centre and minarets on the four corncrs. All these structures have a metallic kalasa over the dome with metallic flags above, with the king's seal engraved thereupon.

No. 26 is an interesting inscription of Lingarajendra-vadeyar II. It refers to his hunting of elephants in Balyatare forest in which he killed 34 elephants and captured 8 cubs alive. To commemorate this event, he presented to the god Subbaraya of Padi a beautiful image ofa caparisoned elephant made of silver in the year 1810 A.D. It is an elegant and well executed figure about a foot in height.

Lingarajendra-vadeyar's achievement in building activities has been recorded in inscrip- tion No. 8. The inscription which is both in Persian and Kannada scripts, records how Linga- rajendra got the rugged hill top cleared and built a spacious palace. The construction of the building began on 6th September, 1812 A.D. and it took twoyears, one month and three days to complete it. This two storied structure has undergonc certain changes. Some original wall- paintings, however, are still intact with the Raja's seal painted on them. There is also a large metallic seal of Lingarajendra-vadeyar embedded into one of the walls.

His another achievement was the construction of the Omkaresvara temple. Inscription No. 9 on a metallic plate embedded into the front wall of the temple and No. 1 1, a copperplate record, both dated 1820 A.D. contain an account of the erection of the OmkareSvara temple at Mercara by Lingarajendra-vadeyar II. Considericg that the performance of good deeds is an act acquiring the highest merit in this world and the next, he resolved to set up a Sivalinga. Accordingly, he started the work of building this beautiful ncw temple, on the date specified, viz., the 1796392nd Kali day; and in two years, nine months and twenty-five days the building was completed and he consecrated tbe Sivalinga, named Omka- resvara, in it on the 179742 Ist Kali day. In addition to this information, the copper plate also furnishes the allowances granted for its upkeep, and the services to be performed therein. It also stipulates that the accounts of the temple were to be audited and examined annually. On the wall of the main entrance is a metallic seal of Lingaraja embedded and some of the utensils of the temple bear the mark ' Lim ' indicating that they were presented by the Raja. One silver plate has the name of the temple ' Sri Omkaresvara devasthana ' (No. 10).

As can be expected, the Rajas of Coorg, who lived in the forest area in which wild elephants were abundant, were interested in the hunting of elephants. We have seen above how Biddandra Bopu was praised for his devoted services to the king in the hunting of elephants and how Lingarajendra-vadcyar I hunted 34 elephants and captured 8 cubs in the Balyatare forest. But Virarajendra-vadeyar surpassed all the previous records. No. 3, dated 1822 A.D., which is of quite a diS"erent character from the others, describcs the valour shown by Virara- jendra-vadeyar II in his hunting expedition. It relates that when Virarajendra-vadeyar II, was ruling with justice, purity and uprightness, elephants multiplied so greatly in his country that they were destroying the fruits and crops raised by men, threatening travellers, and causing damage to houses. The peopje living in the area also represented that they were unable to bear the menace from elephants. Considering that it is the duty of a king to put down the evil and uphold the good, the king prayed to Gauridhava (6iva) to give him strength to remove ihis elephant menace. Having received a token of suprcme favour from Sambasankara (Siva), beginning on the auspicious 1798178th Kaliday, he went into the middle of theforests where the

XXl

herds of rutting elephants were raging and during two years, one month and twenty five days (March, 1822 to April 1824), till the 1798913th Kali day. by the power of his arm, destroyed them on various days.

An account is then given in detail of the number of elephants killed and captured, the places where they were bagged, and the dates on which the hunting took place. The forests visited were those in the east and south of the country, in Nanjarayapattana Taluk, Uluguli Miidigeri-nad and Horur-Nurokkal-nad, Kodagu-Srlrangapatna and Kiggat-nad. The actual number of days occupied in the hunt was 38, during which the Raja himself killed 233, and his troops captured alive 181.

Some more inscriptions belong to the period of the Rajas of Coorg. But they are either not dated or the given details of date cannot be verified. No. 33 refers to a Vira-vadeya and to Haleri Mamadai-arasu. Vira-vacjeya might be Chikka-Virappa, grand-son of Dodda-Virappa. Whether Mamadai-arasu was the samc as Mudduraja who was at Horamale from 1766 to 1770 A.D., cannot be said with certainty. Thc record registers a grant of some land to the Aigala-matha at Haleri. No. 104 mentions a matha at Yc^atorc and appcars to record certain grants made to Siddhalingasvami of that matha. No. 103 mcntions another Virakta-matha of Chilalashaka svami, while No. 105 mentions the god Gangadhara-dcvaru whose temple appears to have been built by Virarajendra-vadeyar.

By the side of the Rajas' tombs at Mercara, within the enclosure, is another smaller structure, similar in plan but not so majestic, built for the Raja's pricst Rudrappa. It was built by Divan Cheppudira Ponnapa in 1834 A.D. From the inscription on the back walJ (No. 15) of the structure it may be inferred that it was constructed by Subayya who belonged to the village Badaga in Karattu-Murnadu.

From the foregoing records it becomes clcar that the Rajas of Coorg were Virasaivas by faith and were the disciples of the Svami of Siddapura-matha, the branch of Melanagavi- matha at Sivaganga. They built and endowed branches of the Murigi-matha at Abbimatha, Madapura, Danagal and other places.

There are several inscribed metallic scals of the Rajas of Coorg. The seals are oval in shape with two concentric circlcs at thc ccntre. Within the inner circle is the initial or the first letter of the name of the king, 'Lim' in thc scals of Lingarajendra-va^cyar and ' Vi ' in the seals of Virarajendra-vadeyar, in Kaunada, occupying the entire space- Below this letter is the year of the seal expressed in the Christian cra, and some times in Kali year. Betwcen the two concentric circles, around the central lctter, the namc of the king in English cithcr as Maharaja- Linga Rajender Wadeer or Maharaja Vcer Rajender Wadcer, is inscribed. Again, between the oval and the outer conccntric circle, on eithcr side where the space is broadcr, thc names of the king and the kingdom along with thc Kali year arc inscribcd in Persian charactcrs. Such seals are found on the mahadvara entrance in front of the Omkaresvara tcmplc, and in the courl hall which is a part of the palace both built by Lingarajendra. Such seals are also found paintcd on the walls of the palace. Another such seal with 'Vi' in the centre is found in the Iggutappa temple at Padi with all other details noted above. At Madapura the samadhi of Lingarajendra- vadeyar has on the pinnacle of the building a brass flag with an inscription mentioning the death of Lingarajendra-vadeyar and the construciion of the temple ovcr his samddhi. At tbe centre of this flag is a seal similar to others. But in this seal the central letter is ' Vi ' indicaiing that it was issued by Virarajendra, son of Lingarajendra. But between the two concentric circles the name of Lingarajendra is found in Kannada. It also furnishes the date Kali 4881 indicating the year of the death of Lingarajendra-vadcyar.

On the two Rajas' tombs, and on the Omkaresvara temple there are similarbrass flags with seals of either Virarajendra or Lingarajendra as the case may be.

BRITISH PERIOD

There are more than ten inscriptions which may be assigned to the British period. They are mostly private records not connected with the political history; yet a few of them are of some interest. The earliest one which may beiong to ihis period is No 27. This is dated the Kali year 4936, Jaya Samvatsara, corresponding to 1834-35 A.D. As no details of the month, tithi, etc, are mentioned, it is not possible to say whether the record was issued before the British occupa- tion of the territory which took place on 4th April, 1834 A.D. or after. It records the renovation of the temple of Subbaraya at Padi by one Apparanda Bopu. This Subbaraya or Subrahmanya is known to the Coorgs as Padi Iggutappa who is their patron god.

No. 24 is dated 15th November, 1839 A.D. whencaptainC F. Le-Hardy wasthe Superintendent of Coorg. Captain Le-Hardy was the first Superintendent of Coorg under Lt. Col. Frazer who was the first Commissioner. Divart Ponnapuyi Bopu is mentioned in the record as having associated himself iu getting certain articles of silver and gold prepared fcr use at Miilakaveri. The articles include one sWvqt pitha, one pnibJmvali, three golden umbrellas, two siiryapanas and X\vo patdkas or flags. These articles were got prepared at a cost of Rs. 1242 coUected from the devolees at the spot where the Kaveri takes her birth, which is considered a holy place.

No. 106, dated 1840-41 A.D., refers lo the renovation of another temple at Irpi by the side of the river Laksbmana-tirtha by the farmers of the Kiggattu-hattu-nadu area. Yet another inscription at Madapur, No. 30. records the erection of a kalasa over the gaddige of Lingaraja-vadeyar in 1843 A.D. by Somasekhara Sivayogi. Somasekhra Sivayogi was disciple of Santavirasvami, the charamurti of Murigasvami.

Inscription No. 99 is interesting. It is dated 1857 A.D. and records the restoration of the temple of Mahadeva on the Kunda-hill in Bettiyattu-nad. The work was commenced three years bcfore, on the 1810060th Kali day, by agreement betwsen the takkamukhyastaru of Bettiyattu-nad and Ammati-nad. These takkas are the headmen nominated among the Coorg families in each village who had to look into and settle the social and other disputes and also to supervise the proper obscrvance of social and religious customs. The institution is hereditary in certain families. The inscription gives a list of the prominent people who contributed for the work, and also furnishes details of the parts for which each one contributed. One was actually a Muslim by name Hayath-Khan-Sabi, the Jagirdar of Kunda village, who contributed fcr the preparation of a Nandi image.

The next two inscriptions in the chronological order, Nos. 17 and 18, refer them- selves to the construction of the Kannikaparamesvari temple at Mercara. The former gives the date of the completion of the lemple as 4th June, 1874 A.D., while the latter informs us that the brass covering to the doors was got done in the year 1879 A.D. Kannika- paramesvari is the family goddess of the Vaisya community. No. 14 is a memorial tablet record- ing the death of B. Somayya, son of Biddandra Bopu referred to above under the Rajas of Coorg (No. 13). Somayya was under the service of the last Rajaof Coorg, Virarajendra-vadeyar II, as sirkdrekdr or commander-in-chief cf the army, like his father who was a sirkdrckdr of Doddavira- rajendra. He was born in 1800 and died on 16th August, 1879 A.D. Since the Coorg State was under the Chief Commissioner's rule, permission was obtained from that officer for interning the body of Somayya by the side of his father's tomb within the premises of the Rajas' tombs. An interesting aspect .-ibout this inscription is that it is in English and its Kannada version is also

given below. Anotherinscription of this period at Bhagamandala is in Malayalam script and language (23. ii). It is dated 1881 A.D. and records the grant of a lampstand with lamps all round, to the god Bhagandesvara by a devotee named Manavatti BeHiyappa. The lamp is stated to have been prepared under the supervision of Chinnappa.

There are some modern inscriptions belonging to the early part of the 20th century at Mercara and Bhagamandala. As we have contined ourselves to the records up to 1900 A.D., these have not been included here. Still they are of some inierest. An inscription engraved on the baseofan obelisque near Raja"s seat is in two languages Kannada and English. It furnishes informaticn that the first Viceregal durbar was held in Coorg on 29th of November, 1929 A.D. by Lord Irwin when he was the Viceroy and Governor-General of India, at the spot where the obelisque has been erected. A few memorial tablets are fixed to the walls of the Church building which has now been converted into the Distriet Museupi. These tablets give the names of some military personnel and others who died. Similarly, in the Bhagandesvara temple at Bhaga- mandala there are fiveinscriptions recording the construction of rest houses forthe pilgrims and grant of land for their maintenance by certain devotees in the early part of the present century. One of them on a pillar of the Nandimantapa in front of the Bhagandesvara temple records its construction by Belera Belyappa who was the takka of Kodagu in 1915 A.D.

JAINISM

Jainism had spread its in^uence even in ihis District from the earliesl days. We fiud several centres of Jainism here. From Sravanabelagola in the neighbouring Hassan District Jaira monks moved over to these centres, as would be clear from the records some of which are noticed below.

We have seen that the very first record, of Ganga Avinita, in this volume, registers a grant to Srivijaya Jinalaya of Talavananagara. The gift of .villages was received by Chandanandi- bhatara, disciple of Gunanandi-bhatara of Desigagana and Kondakundanvaya. However, the genuineness of this record is doubted.

No. 98, another Ganga record of 978 A.D., states that Anantavirya the donee was a disciple of Guiiasenapandita-bhattaraka who was himself a disciple of Birasenasiddhantadeva. These are described as residents of Belgola, i.e., Sravanabelagola. The grant consisted of two villages of PeggadOr and Posavadaga, obviously for the basadi at the former village. The record is described as the sasana of the basadi at Perggadtlr, modern Peggur where, however, no such monument is in existence today.

Mullur, in Somavarapet Taluk was one of the Jaina centres of the district. We haVe seen ihat the Kongalva chief, Rajadhiraja Kohgalva I built a basadi there about 1050 A.D. There are three basadis, the Parsvanatha, Chandranatha and Santisvara. Of these the first must have been got constructed by Pocbabbarasi, wife of Rajendrachola Kohgalva II, as the record that refers to such a work by her is found on the wall of the Parsvanatha basadi. If No. 75, near the Chandranatha basadi could be so interpretf d, it would mean that Rajadhiraja II had that basadi constructed for the merit of his mother Pochabbarasi. No. 77 on the pedestal of the image of Santinatha in the Santinatha basadi refers to the reconsecration of the basadi by Mallishenadeva in about the middle of the 12th century A.D. It is probable that this was the basadi got built by Rajadhiraja I.

Guriasenapaiiditadeva figures prominently in getting these meritorious deeds done by the Koiiga}va cheifs. He belonged to Dravila-ganaor Tivuli-gana, Nandi-sangha and Aruhgalanvaya. He was the disciple of Pushpasenasiddhantadeva, whose footprints are engraved on a blcck of stone in frontofthe Santisvara-basadi (No.78). In 1051 A.D., these basadis came under his

management. He also got a well called Nagavavi, excavated by the nakaras (No. 79). The figure of a cobra is also engraved below this inscriptioa. Gunasenapandita was the ,°MrM of the Hoysaja king Vinayaditya and received a grant from Pariyaladevi for the maintenance of the basadi built at Sosevur. He is also referred to as the guru of Echaladevi, queen of Hoysala Ereyanga in an inscription in Arakalgud Taluk. An inscription on a large boulder near Mulliar (No. 83), with footprints, appears to refer to Gunasenapandita indicating that, that spot was the place where he perfomed penance and probably breathed his last. According to No. 71 Guna- senapandita gained the abode of Mokslialakshmi (or died) in 1064 A.D. He was proficient in the supreme drhantya and other three jewels, all the great seiences of grammar, the dgama and the six established systcms of logic.

The basadis at Mujlur are sqare in plan and comparatively plain structures buiit of granite slabs. But the images that are still remaining io them are beautiful works of art and represent the sculptural standard that prevailed during the Kongalva rule-

Thcre are a few more inscriptions recording the prevalance of Jainism during the Kongalva period. No. 89 records thc death, in 1044 A.D., of Prabhachandradeva, disciple of Subhachandra- deva. No. 100 states that Jakkiyabbe, wife of Edayya, resolved to obtain rrnikti by the perfor- mance of sanyasana and died. Similarly, one Kiviriyayya, cheif of Maduvanga-nad keeping the vow for twelve days in the Changalva-basadi attained salvation (No. 101).

Incidentally it may be noted that although the Kongalvas were Jains, they seem to have patronised othcr religions also. As can be seen in Nos. 48 and 49, Rajendra-Prithvi-Kongalva made grants to thc Siddhesvara temple at Posavalli.

Three Jaina imagcs, two of thcm of Santinatha, wi'.h inscriptions (Nos. 4, 6, and 7) in characters of the 12th ccntury engraved on their pedcstals, are now exhibited in the Museum at Mercara. Before they werc shifted to the Museum, they were found in the basadi at Anjana- giri. The cxisting basadi at this placc was constructed in 1544 A.D. (No. !9). The epigraph that gives this informaiion, also records thc interesting fact that in Saka 1453 (1531-32 A.D.) Abhinava Charukirtipanditadeva discovered the imagcs of Santitirthesvara and Anantanatha- svami in the river Suvarnavati and that they were installed in abasadi constructed first in wood and later in stone, on the former date, at Anjanagiri, at the instance of Santikirtideva. The installation was done by Santopadhyaya of Konasanagara, who is described as svdnuja of Santi- kirti-deva.

It is clear that thc images now in Mercara, werc the ones originally setup at Tatangi. No. 4 says that the image of Saminathadeva was consccrated by Maghanandi-bhattaraka of Tatangi, belonging to Mulasangha, Desiyagana, Pustakagachchhaa nd Kondakundanvaya. No. 6 also refers to the image of Santinaiha consccrated by the nakharas of Tatangiya-pattana who were disciples of Hcragina Harischandradeva. Obviously the other image, below which No. 7 is engraved is that of Auantanathasvami got raade by Hariyanna heggade, the asvddhyaksha (head of the cavalry), disciple of Nayakirtisiddhanladeva. Tatangi was a place situated somewhere on the banks of the Suvarnavati, i.e., the Harangi river, which fiows about 5 kilometres north of Anjanagiri. It is probable that one of the floods in the river washed out the basadi, wherein these images were installed, and the imagcs were discovercd by Abhinava-Charukirti, centuries later.

No. 19 gives the genealogy of the Jaina priests who belonged to Belugula, as :

Charukirtipandita (I)

I Abhinava-Charukirtipandita

Charukirtipandita (11) Santikirtideva

The first of ihese bears several epitbets like rayarajagiiru, nmndalacharya, inahavadavadisvara etc. and also Ballalurdyajivarakshapdlaka which indicate thai he was the royal priest of the Hoysalas and was the saviour of the life of Ballalaraya. But, who this Ballajaraya was, whose life he saved is not known. Tiadition attributes this to Baliala I.

GENERAT.

Two inscriptions (Nos. 37 and 56) of the lOth century record the death of two individuals by self-immolation. In both these the deceased person is staied to have had his head cut off. Both of the.m being damaged, the details cannot be made out. The first of taem is dated 944. A.D. and the name of the hero may be Buchaga. The sccond refers to Lalluga, younger brother of Ranivoliga as the hero.

No 49, dated 1070 A D., registers a gift to g;)d Siddhesvara Mahadeva, probably aft r the purchase ofthegift land from Nirag^vunda of Posavalh. The exact meaning of the lerm dduvala used in this cjnnecuon (ponriare koUu mannare kondu pattu khanduveya ddavalaih) is not clear In No. 48, of the same date ttiere is a reference to ddavalam gadydna.

Two records (Nos. 52 and 60; of the 13th century from Ganagnru and Chaudlu respectively, refer to the regulations laid down with regard to the right of property. The former states that in the absence of male (heir), the daughters' children were to have the succession right. This regulation probably was brought into vogue in Gunda-nad. The Idter record (No. 60) states t.iat ii confirms ti.e daughier's right of successicn to property which was in voguc eorlier in Kundur (?) and also bestows similar right lo thc children of the daughier as also those of female slaves (tottina makkalimge).

No. 44, dated probably 1498 A.D. records the grant of gauJike to Lingegaudo of Hanagaia by Nanjarappayarina. Hanagala may be ihe same Hangal in Dharwar District acd if so it is interesting lo note that the donee (or his ancestors) hailed from such a distant place then.

No. 25 of the 19th century registers a gift of a bell in memory of Muddamma wife of Monnappa whose family name was Maneyappamfa.

Attention is drawn towards number of iiddiis, that figure in the volume, some of which are listed beiow. Students of historical geography could make use of this for further study.

The record is on three copper plates secured with a ring and elephant seal. It is in Kannada characters of the 9th century. The language of the main portion is Sanskrit and the details of the grant are in Kannada.

The record gives the genealogy of the Garigas upto Avinlta. The details about each king namely, Koriguni-mahadhiraja, Madhava-mahadhiraja, Harivarma-mahadhiraja, Vishnugopa- mahadhiraja, Madhava-Mahadhiraja and Avinita agree with most of the copper plate records of the Garigas hitherto discovered.

The details of the date of the record are the year 388, Magha, Somavara, Svati-nakshatra, su. panchami. It is not clear if the year 388 refers to the $aka year. No cyclic year is mentioned in the record. However, if this is taken as the Saka year, the given date wouid correspond to 466 A.D. But the details regarding the week day and the nakshatra do not correspond, since Magha su. 5 in Saka 388 fell on Wednesday and not on Monday and the nakshatra was Uttarabhadrapada and not Svati.

The record registers the grant of Badaneguppe and other villages to Srlvijaya-jinaiaya of Talavana-nagara. The donee was Chandanandi-bhatara, discipie of Gunanandi-bhatara, who belonged to the Desiga-gana and Kondakundanvaya. The villages are stated to have been granted by the minister of Akalavarsha Prithvivallabha having obtained them by grant from Avinlta-mahadhiraja.

The record is not dated. On palaeographical grounds it may b3 assigned to the 12th century A. D. Nayaklrti Siddhanta Chakravartti mentioned in this record appears to be the same as the one mentioned in an inscription at Sravanabelgola as having died in 1176 A.D. and hence the record may belong to the latter half of the 12th century A.D.

The image, on the pedestal of which the record is inscribed, is stated to have been got prepared and donated by Hariyanna-heggade, a disciple of Nayakirti Siddhanta Chakravartti. Hariyanna- heggacje is also stated to have been the head of the cavalry ; but it is not known under which ruler he served.

The image, though not named in the record, is that of Anantanatha mentioned iu inscription No. 19 as having been recovered from the Suvarnavati river.

This basadi was first constructed in wood and later on it was rebuilt in stone. The images consecrated inthis basadihavs inscriptions on their pedestals which go back to the 12th century A.D. on palaeographical grounds- (sec Nos. 4, 6 and 7)

The record also mentions the grants made for the maintenance of the iaja^/ by various persons.

The record is not dated. It is written in a mixed character. There are Grantha, Mala- yalam, Tamil and also a few Vatteluttu characters. Even the language appears to be a com- bined one comprising of Tamil, Malayalam and Tulu. It may belong to about the 14th century A.D.

Bodharupa-Bhagavar is the king mentioned in the record. Heis said to have been a disciple of Avidjamrityu-bhattaraka. Nothing is known about these two persons.

The king made grants for the god Palayur Mahadeva and entrusted its maintenance to the Srivaishnavas, the merchants, the Thousands and the Brahmans of the Eighteen countries. The penalties for neglect mentioned in the record are also peculiar.

The record is highly worn out. On palaeographical grounds it may be assigned to the lltii century A.D. A queen of Prithvi-Kongajva is menticned in the inscription. This Prithvi- Kongalva migbt be Adataraditya who had the title Rajendra-Prithvi-Kongalva. The record appears to be a memorial to some one who died, perhaps, Prith\i-Kongalva's queen.

No date is given in the record. Since i^ripala-traividya-deva mentioned here is known to have lived in 1 125 A.D. and also since this record belongs to his disciple Mallishena-devaru, ihe record may be assigned to about thc middle of the 12th century A.D.

It staies that the hasadi at MuHur was re-consecrated by Mallishena. Since this hasadi belonged to about the lOth century A.D., it is possible that it had fallen into di&use and Mallishena-deva renovated it and consecratcd thc Jina imagc on whose pedestal the present inscription is engravcd.

This inscription is engraved on a natural boulder of a rocky hillock near the Jain basadis, in front of a pair of footprints. Only the first six lelters are deeply engraved, but the other letters foUowing them are carved in thin lines. Thus thcugh the letlers aie large in size, they are highly worn out and only the traces of letters can bc se en. The characters belong to about the llthcentury A.D. The inscription begins wiih thc details of the line and sect of the ^MTO who probably breathed his last at this place. The letters ' sena-pandita ' in the second line appear to indicate the name of Gunasena-pandita who played an important role in the construction and maintenance of the basadis at Muljur. It is possible that this inscription was engraved in his memory.

The number of elephants which by the valour and power of his arm he in various ways brought to an end, and of those which by his orders trained soldiers captured alive with chains is as follows : In the year Chitrabhanu, on the lOth of the dark fortnight of Ashadha, in Nanjarayapattana taluk, elephants killed 6, 'captured 9 ; on the 7th of the dark fortnight of Sravana, in the same taluk, elephants killed 42, captured 22; on the 5th of the bright fortnight of Adhika Asvayuja, in the same talukand Uluguli Mudigeri-nad, elephaniskilled 47, captured 15; on the llth of the same bright fortnight, in Nanjarayapattana taluk, Horur-Nurokkal-nad and Uluguli-Mudigeri-nad, elephants killed 34, captured 6; on the llth of the bright fortnigbt of Nija Asvayuja, in Nanjarayapattana taluk, elephants killed 20, captured 6 ; in the year Svabhanu, on the 5th ofthe bright fortnight of Nija Chaitra, in Kcdagu-Srirangapattana, elephants killed 4, captured 18; on the 3rd of the bright fortnight of Vaisakha, in Bettiyatta-nad and Channanakote, elephants killed 21, captured 41; in ihe year Tarana, on the 12th of the dark fortnight of Chaitra, in Kiggattu-nad, elephants killed 10, captured 40; on thirty other days. elephants killed 49, captured 24 ;— altogether, in thirty-eight days, elephants killed by his own hand 233, captured alive by hand by trained soldiers according to order 181 ;— total of both 414.

In this manner the desires of all being accomplished, astonishment was expressed as foUows: Whenin theforests theherdsof elephantstowering likemountainscame along trumpet- ing, like the storm-clouds attackirg the sun, he, with seven-tongued weapons (fire arms) like thunderbolts, slew them in a moment, while men captured alive stuut and lofty rutting-elephanis as if they were mice this was indeed a marvel.

Whoso takes away land presented by himself or by another is born a worm in ordure for sixty thousand years. Between making a gift and protecting it, protecting is more meritorious than making the gift. By making a gift one attains svarga while by protecting a gift one goes to a region from which there is no fall. Protecting another's gift is twice as meritorious as making a gift oneself. By seizing another's gift one's own gift is rendered fruitless.

Than giving onself, to protect another's gift is twice as meritorious; by taking away another's gift one's own gift becomes fruitless. Land given by oneself is a daughter, that given by one's father is a sister, that given by another is a mother; therefore land given must not be abandoned. An only sister to all kings in the world, neither to be enjoyed nor taken in marriage, is land given to a Brahman.
