The genealogical details of the epigraph number Shimoga. 39 of C.E. 1122 are, though some portions are broken, by and large clear and in tone with the similar charters. As such, first king of the Mandalinād, after it was superseded by the Cālukyas of Kalyāna and again handed over back to the ab origin Ganga family, was Bhujabala Ganga, who had Barmmadeva as his first name, and Permmādideva as the traditional epithet of the Ganga family.

Therefore, we can easily surmise that Kali-Gangadeva had the Yeriyangadeva as his first name, thus the anomaly gets cleared. Not only that, it is note worthy that the genealogy confirms an unbroken succession from Būtuga-ll has continued.
