EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
[VOL. XX.
of his inscriptions1 has been discovered he has not been included in the table of the house published by Rice, perhaps, because his relationship to other members of the dynasty was not known to that scholar. Now the work Šivatatvaratnakara enables us to say that Immadi Sadasiva-Nayaka was the younger brother and successor of Sadasiva.
The sage Bhānu, who has been highly eulogised in the record, must have been one of the Jaina teachers of that name who were replaced by Lalitakirtis in about Saka 1286. Nothing is known about Devachandradeva at whose instance the grant was made, his guru Munichandradēva and his guru Abhinavadēvakirttidēva.
With regard to the geographical names occurring in the inscription, the village Malläru may be identified with Malluru in the Udipi Taluk; Belugula is the well-known Śravana Belgola in the Mysore State; Kopana is Kopal, a famous place of pilgrimage of the Jainas in the Nizam's Dominions; Parvata is probably identical with Srisailam in the Kurnool District, which is one of the twelve great centres of Saiva worship. Gokarna is the village of that name in North Kanara; Tirumale is the celebrated Tirupati in the Chittoor District. Ujjantagiri, which appears as Urjayat-giri in the Junagadh inscription of Rudradaman,' is the Mount Girnar on which there is an ancient temple of Neminatha.
