ATAKUR INSCRIPTION OF THE TIME OF KRISHNA 111.
171
Ganga lineage (see ante, Vol. I, p. 349). Also, the construction of the record, and the grant of districts to Batuga by Krishna III., distinctly prove that at this period the Gangas were feudatories of the Rashtrakūtas.
Incidentally it may be noted that, as the period of Ereyapparasa is now known to be about A.D. 949, it follows that there is some real probability of the Ayyapadeva of the Begur record being identical with the Western Chalukya Ayyana I., whose period was two generations before A.D. 973-97.
Among the territory given by Křishņa III. to Batuga was the Banavase Twelvethousand. This point is of interest, because this province was the principal component of the territory of the Kadambas of Banawasi and Hångal; and the present record shows that they had not the ancient, or at least the uninterrupted, enjoyment of their possessions, which their inscriptions seem to imply.
