THE YADAVAS
Yadava Pratāpachakravarti Siṅghaṇadēva. 37. An undated Kannaḍa inscription from Pushpagiri (No. 410) belongs
to the Yādava king Pratāpachakravarti Siṅghaṇadēva. It records an endow-
ment made by his general Mahāpradhāna
Nārāyaṇa Lakshmīdēva-Daṇḍanāyaka for
the worship of the local deity and for the maintenance of a feeding house. This
general is introduced with a number of birudas such as Samasta-sēnādhipati,
Bāhattara-niyōgōdhipati, Giridurgamalla and Paśchimarāya-Bhōjadēva-diśā-
paṭṭa, etc., Siṅghaṇa’s capture of the hill fort at Gutti is known to have taken
place in A. D. 1239 (Ep. Car., Vol. VIII, Sorab 319) and his attempts to collect,
revenue were resisted by force (ibid. Sorab 425 and 217). It is but natural,
therefore, to find an inscription of his general in this region, which calls him the
right arm (and) general (dakshiṇabhuja-daṇḍanāyaka) of the king.
