South Indian Inscriptions |
KALACHURI OF SARAYUPARA is lost in Kasiā inscription. The latter does not, therefore, give any clue to identification.
Śivarāja’s grandson is named Lakshmana in the Kasiā inscription and Gunāmbhōdhi (or
Gunāsāgara I) in the Kahla plates. The latter is apparently a biruda. This conjecture
receives support from the fact that the wives of both were named Kāñchanā. Bhīmata II,
the son of Lakshmana III, mentioned in the Kasiā inscription, may not, therefore, be
different from Ullabha, the son of Gunāmbhōdhi, named in the Kahla plates. The
names of Bhīmata's successors are lost owing to the mutilation of the Kasiā inscription;
but the agreements noticed above leave no room for doubt that the two royal families were
identical. From the information derived from the two records, we can, therefore, form
the following combined genealogy-
1The Kahla plates give the biruda as Gunāmbhōdhi which is a synonym of Gunasāgara ( an ocean of
excellences). As Gunasāgara is repeated in the later stages of the genealogy, I have called this king Gunasagara I.
