TWO INSCRIPTIONS FROM KURGOD.
279
on the west of the temple of Svayambha (Siva) in Kusugodu, where a sanotuary was raised and worship paid to him under the name of Udbhava-Rāchamallēsvara," the god Isvara of Rachamalla in (miraculous) revelation" (11. 18-21). We then learn that Rachamalla I begot by Sovala-dēvi Irungola (not Irunguļa, as in A), who by Echala-dēvi begot Răchamalla II (11. 21-22); and upon the power and blessed estate of the last-named our poet dilates in II. 23-26. We may note the statement that his hero was subkled by a tigress, was covered by the hood of a cobra, rode on elephants, and bad Kalideve as the tutelary god of his race (v. 11); on this see above, p. 269. It is then announced that in his reign there was a high minister, the royal treasurer Rēchirāja, the son of Sāyidēva (Sāvidēva or Svāmidēva) and Savitri, and Sayidova was the son of an elder Rēchirāja by Rēkāmbika-devi (11. 30-35). The inscription here breaks off ; presumably it was intended to record an endowment of the temple of Udbhava-Rachamalle vara by the Mahāmandalēsvara at the instance of the younger Réchirāja.
