EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
[VOL. III.
introduces a younger brother of Devaraya II., whose name was Pratåpa-Devaraya, and who, to judge from verse 21, appears to have held a high office, perhaps that of co-regent, under his royal brother. I subjoin & pedigree of the first Vijayanagara dynasty, in which I have entered the new details supplied by the present inscription, by an inscription of Sarngama II. (ante, No. 4), and by other inscriptions which have been lately discovered :
Samgama 1.
Marape.
Harihara I. or, Hariyappa. (Saks 1261.)
Kampa or Kampana.
Muddapa?
Bukka I., Bukkana, or Bukkanna,
m. Gauri or Gaurámbika. (Saka 1278 (current] to 1299.)
Samgama II. (Saka 1278.)
Harihars II. ,m. Malambika. (Saks 1801 to 1321.)
Bukks II. (Saka 1828.)
Dévariya I.
m. Hémámbika. (saka 1990 (current) to 1894.)
Vira-Vijays, m. Náriyapámbika. (Saka 1[88]56 and 1338.)
Devarkys II. (Saks 1846 to 1871.)
Pratápe-Devaraya,
Mallikirjuna. (Saka 1876 and 1887.)
Virupaksba I. (Saka 1892.)
Rajasekhar.. (Saka 1401 and 1408.)
Virupakaba II. (Saka 1406.9)
1 In previous tables (Journal, Bombay Branch, B. 4. 8., Vol. XII. p. 389, and South Indian Inscriptions, Vol. I. p. 161), Saka-Samvat 1290 (expired), the Kulaks year, wus entered as the latest known dute of Bukka I. Mr. Cousens has since furnished me with impressions of two subsequent inscriptions in the Kanarese language at Bhatkal, vis. Copper-plate of Vir-Bukkariya, dated in Seka-Samvat 1291 (expired), the Saumya year, and a stone inscription of Vira-Bukkanne-Odeyar of Vijayanagara (thwe), dated in Saka-a vat 1299 (expired), the Virodbikfit year.
This Kanarese name was read by Colebrooke (Miscellaneowa Errayı, Madras edition, Vol. II, p. 257) As Mudgape (the protector of beana'), in which form it has found its way into Bohtlingk and Roth's Sanskrit. Wörterbuch, and from it into Sir Monier Williams' Sanskrit Dictionary.
1 South Indian Inscriptions, Vol. I. No. 66. That this inscription has to be attributed to Bakka II. was first recognised by Mr. Venkayya, Madras Christian College Magazine for March 1892. Another Tamil inscription of Bukka II., dated in Saka-Sathyat 1328, expired, the Vyaya yeur, is engraved on the east wall of the Natardja shrine in the Ekamranatha temple at K ohl.
Šaka-Samvat 1930, the Sarvajit year, is the date of Kadarese inscription of Deverlya at Bhatkal, impressions of which I owe to the kindness of Mr. Couseds.
5 Seo Mr. Venkayya's article, loo. cit.
This is the date of the Vandavasi plates, which were published by Dr. Oppert in the Madras Journal of Literature and Science for 1881, pp. 949 ff. The inscription records the grant of the village of Chettapedu in the kingdom (rdjya) of Padabidu. This is the modern Padavéda in the Polar taluks of the North Arcot district ; see South Indian Inscriptions, Vol. I. p. 83. 7 This name is taken from verse 21 of the present inscription.
