responsible for the installation. Apart from a consideration of the existence of several Cavunda rayas, it is usually assumed that Cavinḍa ruya whose inscription is found near the image is the same as the author of Cavunda Rayapurana. The exploits of Cavunda mentioned in the Kannada work seem to tally with those described in the incomplete inscription at Sravana Belagola (No. 281). The inscription says that on the orders of Indra, he defeated Vajjvala the younger brother of Pātājamalla and also took part in the wars with Nolamba Rāja at Virōttamsapura. He frustrated the ambition of Chaladanka Ganga (?) In the Purana he refers to victories over Rājāyta, Racha, Govindarasa and Rachaya who coveted the country. Further he mentions the places of battle, enemies and the titles obtained by time, in the him of Jagadēkavīra (Marasimha.)
