________________ 286 JAINISM IN SOUTH INDIA The administrative procedure required that the endowment was duly recognised and confirmed by the feudatory chief in whose jurisdiction the village Inguņige lay. This detail is introduced in verse 9 of the record. It is stated herein that Anega who bore the title Birundanka Bhima, exempted the endowed land from all kinds of impositions and made arrangements for its perpetual maintenance. This Ānega belonged to a family of chiefs who were ruling over the territory roughly covered by the modern tāluks of Sēdam and Chitāpur in the Gulbarga Dt. They claimed their descent in the lineage of the Haihayas and styled themselves the lords of Māhishmatipura'. The genealogical account and family history of these local chiefs is available in details from the inscriptions at Handarki.' The names of the taxes that were exempted from the gift land are mentioned in the same verse. They are, manneya kūnke, sëshe, kattuřbana, āya and daya. The precise nature of these is not known.
