THE CHOLAS OF RENANDU
Uttamāditya Chōla-Mahārāja.
7. No. 297 which is also from Veldurti belongs to Uttamāditya Chōla-
Mahārāja, a hitherto unknown member of this family. The inscription registers
of gift of pannavisa (pannasa) to a certain
Chēdiśarma, a Kōsiyapāra i.e., a Brahman
of the Kauśika-gōtra. Vikramāditya Chōla-Mahārāja, Chōla-Mahārājādhirāja
Vikramāditya and Śaktikomāra Vikramāditya are some other chief of this family
already known to us (Ep. Ind., Vol. XI, p. 343).
Chōla-Mahārāja Jaḍa-Chōli..
8. No. 303 from Miḍutūru opens with the characteristic eulogy Haridurdha-
ravara, etc., of the Telugu Chōlas and introduces the ,king Jaḍa-Chōli-Mahārāja who also bears the epithet Chōla-Mahārāja. A fragmentary inscription at Conjeevaram
mentions a Jaṭā-Chōḍa-Bhīma and his exploits, and the date of this record has
been read as Śaka 923 (A D. 1001-2) (Ep. Ind., Vol. XXI, p. 29). The present
inscription which is assignable on palæographical considerations to about
950 A. D. is, in all probability, a record of the predecessor, possibly the father
of Jaṭā-Chōḍa Bhīma of the Conjeevaram record.
