EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
[VoL. XVIII.
In the above pedigree, Uttamarāya the brother of Chakrarāya must be identical with the dinee of our grant. According to the Köyilolugu,l he set up an image of Garuda in front of the central shrine of Ranganatha in Saka 1387 and replaced the image of Rāma, which was originally installed by Vikrama-Chola bat which was destroyed by the Musalmans. It is also stated that he obtained from Gajavēttai Pratāpa-Dēvarāyamabārāya for himself the sole management of the Ranganātha temple, and the title Chakrurāya for his brother and that he was in power from Saka 1340 to 1366.
The inscription states that the verses were composed by Rājasē hara. We do not find mention of the name of Rājasēkbars in any of the hitherto known grants of the first Vijayanagara dynasty. We find that some inscriptions of the time of Devarāya II were engraved by one Muddappa.
