Vikrama
(?)—A.D. 1081
This inscription is
dated in the 12th regnal year of Kadamba Chakravarthi Vira[ma],
Durmati,Kartika ba.5, Monday. This Vira[ma] may be a mistake for
Vikrama. In that case Vikrama will have to identified with the
son of Jayasimha. It may be noted however that no inscription of this
Vikrama has as yet been found and it is doubtful if he ruled at all. The
details of the date may be equated with A.D. 1081, October 25,Monday. It may also be noted that Kirtideva who came after him has
for him a date as early as 1068 A.D.
It record the death,
by the rite of samathi, of Bhogave, the wife of Tippisetti sataya.
She is stated to be the lay disciple of Sakalachandra bhattaraka belongings to Desi-gana,
pustaka-gachehha, and Kondakunda-anvaya.

Tailapa
The inscription
which refers itself to Tailahadeva ruling from Naraymangal is
dated in the 2nd year of his reign, prajapati, su. Purnima,
Monday.
The name Tailaha
suggest that he belonged to the family of the Kadambas of Hangal. But
the 2nd year of none of the Tailahas of this family coincided
with the cyclic year prajapathi.
It records a grant of land at Kakere made
by Bammagauda, in honour of his father who died in a raid made by
Tailaha on Ballabidu in course of his attack on Huritigi-nadu, the fort
of which was in charge of a certain Sovarasa.

Broken
slab set up Tirumaladeva temple
[Kava]deva
The
date of this inscription is the 1st
regnal year of [Kava]deva, pingala, Magha su. 5,Monday. But this date
dose not correspond to the
1st year of Kavadeva. Since the record is much damaged, it is difficult to make out the exact name of the king.
It
records the death, apparently by a rite, of a certain Marakave, a lay
disciple of a Jaina ascetic.

Sivachitta-permadi-A.D.1171
This
inscription referring to the rule of Sivachitta-permadi is dated in his 25th regnal year, khara, Pusya su. 14, Monday,
Uttarayana-samkaraati. The given Pusya su. 14 fell on Monday but there
was no samkranthi on that day. Pusya ba.14 also fell on Monday but the
samkaranti occurred on the previous day. Taking the latter to be the intended date, the details may be equated to A.D.
1171, December 27,Monday.
It
records a grant of land to god Kalideva of sasala in palasige nadu. A
grant made by a certain Kumara Mallayya for the worship and –offerings
to Toreyadeva, is also recorded.
The
record states that sivachitta-permadi was governing Konana 900 and palasege 12,000,
from his capital at chandrapura. Eulogistic account of the exploits of
sivachitta’s son permadi and Vijayaditya is given. kumara Mallayya is
described as the favorite disciple of vijayaditya.
