EPIGRAPHIA JAINICA. 65 and Bhuyas.” Bhūja and Jaila villages, judging by names, are frequent in the Kalinga Māliyās. The “Jainas," I sake it, are the Kadambas who seem to have had considerable political influence in the part of the country now inhabited by Kols and Khonds, as well as in parts from which they had been ousted during historic times. Certain place-names in the Ganjam District bear traces of this Kadambå occupation. “ Brihat Paralur" is the name of a Kadamba village from an early Kadamba grant of the Bombay Presidency. In Telugu it may stand as “ Pedda Parlapuram” which is an equivalent of Oriya '“ Bodo (Parla)-Khimedi” the seat of a Zamindari in the Ganjam District. A." Paralur " is mentioned in another Kadamba grant by a Rāvisarma of Maudgalya gotra and archæologists have identified it with the modern Harlapur five miles to the North of Addūr in Dharwar District. Harlapur by the interchange of P and H very common between Old and Modern Canarese becomes Parlapur or Parlapuri, the capital of the Parlakimedi Zamindari, and the seat of an ancient line of kings of the Ganga dynasty. Tekkali, another place in the Ganjam District, corresponds to an early Kadamba town known as Tēkal. (These must have been Kadamba cities before they came . under the Gangas.)
These Kadambas, a line of Brahma-Kshatris, were Jains, and their capital was Palasika
These are called Rudraputras I owe this suggestion to Rao in Kalinga Inscriptions.
