VIVEKAPATKANALA
VIVÊKAPATRAMÅLÅ.1
BY T. A. GOPIXATHA RAO, M.A.; TRIVANDRAM. In my article on the Arivilimangalam plates of Srînangaraya II., contributed to the Epigrapia Indica, Vol. XII, an attempt was made to identify certain members of the family of the document (sâsana) writers of the Inter Vijayanagara dynasties with certain poets of Mullandram. Since writing this article more materials have been accumulater, which enable me to review the situation in greater detail.
There are no less than fifty-five copper-plate documents belonging to a period intervening the reigns of Harihara II to Ranga VI. in which the names of the following persons, the composers of the documents. are mentioned : namely, Sabhápati, son of Abhirama, his sons Svayambhu, Kimakoi or Kamakshi and Garaparya ; his grandsons Rijanatha br Svayambhu ; Krishnakavi and Ramakavi by Kamakoti and Kama ya by Gana parya ; Kimaya's son was Sómanátha. Then again the engravers of the kisanas, are said to have been Muddala, Virana I., Muddana II., Virana II., Mallana II, Virana III., Appana, Ganapírya, Viraya IV., Virana V. Kamaya, Achyuta and Sômanitha. The following table gives the details regarding the kings, the composers and engravers of their documents and other information :
