EPIGRAPHIA INDICA

AKKALKOT INSCRIPTION OF SILAHARA INDARASA

A passing reference is made in the gift portion of the record (l. 37) to Mahāmaṇḍaḷēśvara Kumāra Tailapa. A scrutiny of the several inscriptions containing references to the sons of the Western Chālukya king Vikramāditya VI clearly shows that he had at least four sons, viz., Mallikārjuna, Jayakarṇa,[1] Sōmēśvara and Tailapa. The order in which they are related possibly indicates the seniority of the one over the other, Tailapa being the youngest.

Regarding the geographical names occurring in this epigraph, Āṇandūru, the headquarters of the Āṇandūru Three Hundred (district) is to be identified with modern Āṇadūru, chief town of the taluk of that name in the Usmanabad District of the Nizam’s Dominions. This place is about 20 miles to the north of Akkalkōṭ. Aṅkulage Fifty was a subdivision of Āṇandūru Three Hundred and the village Aṅkulage from which it must have taken its name may be identified with the modern Akkalkōṭ town itself.[2] The gift-land was situated in the village [Bi]ṭṭeyana Karaṁjige, which may be identified with modern Karajgi, a fairly big village in the south-western part of the Akkalkōṭ State.

_____________________________

[1] The suggested identity of Jayakarṇa with Tailapa is untenable as evidence is available to prove that they were distinct individuals administering different parts of the empire at one and the same time. (Vide An. Rep. on South Indian Epigraphy, 1921, p. 89.)
[2] See p. 68 n. 1 above. It may be noted that there is another small village named Aṅkalge in the south-west corner of the State.
[3] From the impressions and the original.
[4] Metre : Mahāsragdharā.
[5] The metre is faulty here.
