INTRODUCTION.
skra Konister of lic
king Rachamalla or Rajamalla II , fully known as Dharma-naharâjâdhiraja Satya-vâkya Kongwrivarına Parmanadi Richamalla. Chamunda Raja was also the minister of Richamalla or Rajamalla II. In one inscription we read “Riya (i.e., Chamunda-Riya), the excellent minister of the king Râchamalla," + aml in another" Chamunda Râya, second in glory to king Richa-nalla."! In a Jaina work, named Vahuvali-Charitra, we find that there was a king namel Rajannalla, the worshipper of the feet of the sage Siphanandi. Châmunda Blûpa (or Raja) was his ininister. In il manuscript we read "Chamunda Raya, having the titles of manaranga-malla, Asahay -parâkrama, Guna-ratna-bhuilgana, Samynitrurutna-riya, etc., the Mahamatya (highest minister) of Rajamalla of the Ganga dynasty, graced by the great sage Simhanandi."||
* Mr. Fleet has accepted the name Racha-malla to be the correct ono (Ipigraphia Indica, Vol. V, Inscription No. 18), and, though we find this namo in some inscriptions, the name Rajamalla is also uscd by Juina writers whom we have quotod in this Introduction and in inscriptions like No. 107 M1). Vol. III, Epigraphia Carnatica.
