TWO INSCRIPTIONS FROM BERAR.
131
Seupadesa, corresponding to modern Khandesh; Parpakheta must, therefore, be situated somewhere to the east of Khāndesh, possibly in Berăr. We may note again that Khõlēsvara, a general of the Yādava Singhaņa, defeated one Hēmādri of Parņakhēta. Putting these references together it seems quite plausible that Mallugi defeated the father or some elderly relative of Hēmādri of the present inscription, while the latter, when he was a mere boy, vanquished Rājala, the son of Mallugi, who was advancing on Tēkkali with a large army; finally Khölēśvara defeated Hēmadri early in the reign of Singhaņa. If Hēmādri was a young man in Saka 1098, as the present inscription seems to imply, he may have continued to reign as late as Saka 1132. The other persons mentioned in this record, viz., Bhillama, Pälama and Maila, were ministers who served the royal family and must not be confounded with some of their namesakes in the dynasty of the Yidavas.
