Jambu-jyoti
Revakanimmadi is compared to a well-known lady of the same name (i. e. the wife of Būtuga); besides, the date of the death of this Revakanimmadi is 1030 C. E. It is impossible for the Revakanimmadi, wife of Būtuga, to live up to that period. Hence, Revakanimmadi of K. 44 may be a namesake and hence a different lady.
9.5.1.2.There are three Revakas mentioned in the present collection :
Revakayya-Revakayye (K. 39), Revakabbe (K. 45) and Revakanimmadi; all these three are separate persons and also died on different dates.
9.6.
[K. 47] Ganga-māndalika Rājamalladeva, a bee at the lotus-feet of Arhat-Parameśvara, was a chief disciple of Ajitasena-muni. He had crushed his enemies with his valour, washed off Mandalesvaras with his matchless bravery, annexed the kingdom of his opponents. Even Hari and Hara of the eternal-trinity, happily joined Rājamalladeva and such was his prowess, an elephant in rut.
9.6.1. Kañcabbarasi, wife of Rājamalladeva, an ornament to the glorious
royal family, upheld her magnificence and lost all terrestrial interest after the death of her husband. She approched the stainless Ajitasenamunīśvara, listened to his sermon on the good consequences of the virtuous life, voluntarily took to austerities, achieved the most coveted three jewels, and walked into the eternal world in the year Śaka 945 (1023 C. E.)
9.7.
[K. 53] Gonambe, daughter of Ereganga of the Ganga dynasty, wife of the valiant Ajavarmā, and mother of Ksatriya-Rāma, relinquished the profane life and took to the hard life of a nun. After practising severe austerities, she died in the year Saka 914 (992 C. E) at Koppala.
9.7.1. Ereganga is mentioned in other inscriptions (IWG : 1984 : No. 120 :
PP. 337-78; MAR. 1921. PP. 8-16. 962 C. E.; EC. IV (R) Chāmarājanagara 354. 962-63 C. E.]. Ajavarmā is identical with the Ajavarmā of Kudlūr inscription (MAR 1921. PP. 8-16.962 C. E). Ereganga is the son of Būtugendra and Candrobalabba.
9.8.
[K. 60] Bijjámbikā (Bijjāmbarsi), daughter of Būtuga Permādi II and Padmāvati (Padmabbe), elder sister of Mārasimha II, wife of Hariga-Mallapa and a lady disciple of pontiff Sridhara-deva, earned
