The genealogical details of the epigraph number Shimoga. 39 of C.E. 1122 are, though some portions are broken, by and large clear and in tone with the similar charters. As such, first king of the Mandalinād, after it was superseded by the Cālukyas of Kalyāna and again handed over back to the ab origin Ganga family, was Bhujabala Ganga, who had Barmmadeva as his first name, and Permmādideva as the traditional epithet of the Ganga family. Kali Gangadeva-l, who had Ereyangadeva as his first name, was the father of Bhujabala Ganga Permmādideva Barmmadeva-l. Updating his position and to impart fulness to the genealogical discussion, this needs some more clarification.
There is an anomaly regarding the father's name of Barmmabhūpala. According to the charter number Sh. 39 (1122) Maru!adeva's son, was Yeriyangadeva and his son was Barmmadeva. But the inscription number 57 of, 1115 C.E. states that Mārasingadeva's son was Kali Gangadeva and his son was Bramadeva. Therefore, we can easily surmise that Kali-Gangadeva had the Yeriyangadeva as his first name, thus the anomaly gets cleared. Not only that, it is note worthy that the genealogy confirms an unbroken succession from Būtuga-ll has continued.
Jayaduttaranga Koņeyaganga Nārāyaṇa-Ganga Gāngeya, Stayavākya-Ganga-Permmādi, who had Būtuga-11 (938-61) as his first name, had three wives Revakanimmadi, Kallabbā, Paddabbarasi and from them he had two daughters Kundaņasāmidevi wife of Rājaditya and Bijjāmbädevi; and Būtuga
