ON
A PILLAR IN A FIELD TO THE EAST OF THE MALLIKARJUNA TEMPLE AT KAMBADURU,
KALYANADRUG TALUK, ANANTAPUR DISTRICT
This
undated record refers itself to the reign of the Nolamba-Pallava
king Vira-Nombadhiraja, who is stated to have bestowed on Ajjaparvara
Bhidiyereya a bracelet and called him Nolambadodda, at the
time of the construction of the Beddugonde tank. Another bracelet was bestowed on him by Srimu[kha*]rama
who called him Srimukadodda and a third bracelet was presented to
him by Singapotrasa, Ponnerarasa and Dharmamahadevi who
called him Ponneradodda. Nolambadodda
and others built a temple for the god Mahadeva.
Since the inscription belings palaeographically to the 9th
century A.D. the king referred to here was probably Polalchora-Nombadhiraja
I.

. Iambadhiraja

ON
A SLAB IN A FIELD AT KALAKATTUR, PUNGANUR ZAMINDARI, CHITTOOR DISTRICT

who is stated to have been ruling over the Ganga six-thousand province
and to have marched on Talekadu.
Under the orders of the Ganga king Permanadi, a
certain Maharaja is said to have attacked Pulinadu.
In the battle that ensued the village of Permavi was
burnt by Kaduvatti and Mriduva.
On hearing this, Virachulamani (probably the Bana king)
fought with their army and overthrew it: when there was hue and cry
caused by some Nayakas opposing Virachudamani, a certain Tejamani
was slain. The (Nolamba)
king honoured the dead warrior by granting to his family kalnadu
called âElemadalaâ. Since
the palaeography of the record points to 9th century A.D. as
its period the Nolambadivarasa of the inscription may be identical with Mahendra
I.
