EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
[VOL. XIII.
"Tileewulee" and "Teelowly" in the two maps quoted above; it is in lat. 14° 37′, long 75° 17', twenty-one miles south-half-east from Niḍagundi : the place has at least three inscriptions, of A.D. 1053 (P), 1238, and 1237, and a fourth, a fragment, the date of which is lost.1
For a full account of the Kadambas of Hangal, with a genealogical table and references to various unpublished as well as published records, see Dr. Fleet's Dynasties of the Kanarese Districts in the Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency, vol. I, part 2, pp. 558-64.3 The pedigree as far as Tailapa II is given in the Kargudari inscription of A.D. 1108 published in Ind. Ant., vol. 10, p. 2518: it starts with a mythical Mayuravarman, who is undoubtedly intended to be the real Mayurasarman, the original founder of the Kadamba power, whose achievements are recited in the Talgund inscription of about the period A.D. 500-550. To the time of Kamadeva, the last member of the line, belongs the Ablur.inscription E, dating from about A.D. 1200, published in vol. 5 above, p. 245, which recites the revival of Saivism by the famous ĒkāntadaRamayya.
