PATTADAKAL,
BADAMI TALUK, BIJAPUR DISTRICT
On
a pillar to the left of the entrance into the Mallikarjuna temple
Circa
8th century
This
inscription is engraved in archaic characters of about the eighth
century. It is of the
nature of a label and seems to indicate that the pillar on which it is
engraved was a gift made in the name of Maharaja Taila who was a Pergade
(local officer). It is
not unlikely that this Taila is identical with Taila I, a later member
of the Chalukyas of Badami who were reduced to a state of subordination
with the ascendancy of the Rashtrakutas.
It is significant to note that Taila is also described as Mahadhiraja.
