NALLUR GRANT OF HARIHARA II.
117
The date of the death of Harihara II. is not known, but the latest date yet discovered of this king is Saka-Samvat 1321 (= A.D. 1399), the date of the present grant and of the Makaravalli inscription. His principal officials were :
1. Sayaņa, who, as will be seen below, was the minister of Harihara II. about the beginning of his reign. According to a Banawasi inscription, dated Saka-Samvat 1290 (- A.D. 1368), Sâyana's elder brother, Madhava, was ruling the Banavase Twelve-thousand under Bukka 1.3
2. Iruga or Irugapa-dandanátha, the son of Chaicha, who was the minister of Bukkaraya. Iruga built a Jaina temple at Vijayanagara. He is also referred to in an inscription at Sravana-Belgola, and in an unpublished inscription at Tirupparuttikkuram near Conjeeveram, In the second he is called "the best of Jainas" (Jainottaman). He had also some literary tastes, for he composed the Nánartharatnamala.
3. Muddaya-daņdanátha, who is mentioned in an inscription at Harihar8 and one at Belúr. There is a long unpublished Sanskrit inscription in Grantha characters, containing a string of birudas of this minister, in the Ranganatha temple at Srirangam. 10
4. Gundapa-dandanátha, who is mentioned in inscriptions at Belar. 11
5. Vira-Bâchanna-Vodeya, who, according to a Kanarese inscription at Makaravalli in the Hângal tâluka of the Dharwar district, dated Saka-Samvat 1321, the Pramadi samvatsara, and during the reign of Harihara (II.), was ruling Gôve, the modern Goa.
6. According to an unpublished copper-plate inscription in the Nandinågart alphabet and Kanarese language at Bhatkal in the Bombay Presidency, two impressions of which were received by Dr. Hultzsch from Mr. Consens, - Mallaņa-Odeyar, who resided at Honnêvura (Honavar), was ruling the principality of Haive in Saka-Sarvat 1309, the Kshaya samvatsara ( A.D. 1387), as a dependant of Harihara (II.). With the permission of Dr. Hultzsch, I subjoin the passage which contains the date of this inscription.
