Science is represented by Bhasvati, a manual of rules for determining the position of the heavenly bodies, according to Surya-siddhānta. The work was composed in Çaka 1021 (A.D. 1099–1100) by Satānanda, son of Çankara and Sarasvati. He was of Purusottama (i.e. Puri), and according to the commentators he based his calculations on the meridian of this town. The extremely long rule of Cōraganga (72nd year) is unprecedented in the annals of Orissa, and, I suppose, stands unique in Indian history too. Presumably he was over ninety at the time of his death. Traces of his name may still be found in Churṛanga-sahi, a quarter in Puri town; in Churanga pōkhri, a tank about six miles S. W. of Cuttack town; in Sāranga-garh, a fort, the remains of which are still visible on the Madras Trunk Road close to Barang Railway Station ; and in the temple of Gangēçvara, town Jajapura, District Cuttack.

The copperplates give 1064 Çaka as the year of his abhişēka. Does this mean that in that year he was formally put in charge, Cōraganga being too infirm from age? As no inscriptions of the succeeding king have yet been found, the Last year. last year of this king cannot be positively ascertained. Taking ten to be his total year according to Puri and Kōndupāṭņā copperplates, and with 1069 Çaka as his first year, the last year would be 1078 Çaka. This agrees with the calculations of the subsequent reigns. The Puri and Kōndupāṭnā copperplates call him Kāmārṇava Dēva; while in one stone inscription of His titles. Çrikurmam he is called AnantavarmaMadhu-Kāmārṇava Deva (No. 383), and in the other stone inscription he is called simply Anantavarmma Deva. In No. 178, Çaka 1070 is said to be the 3rd regnal year of one Jaṭēçvara Dēva. Is this another name of Kāmārņava, or is it the name of another prince who had possibly revolted ? Kāmārṇava was the son of Coraganga by the queen Kastūrikāmodini. Apparently he succeeded Cora. His relationships. ganga as his eldest son. III. Raghava. [ Çaka 1078 - Çaka 1092. ] No inscriptions of this king is known. From calculations of the succeeding king Rājarāja II, his last year First and last year. would be 1092 Çaka. According to Puri and Kēndupāṭnā copperplates he ruled fifteen years. Calculating backwards from 1092, his first year falls in 1078, the last year of Kāmārpava. Hence these dates may be prima facie accepted. He was son of Cōṛaganga by another queen, Indirā, a princess of the Ravi-kula. Apparently Kāmārṇava Deva had died childless. His relationships. IV.

Thus from the inscriptions, we get:2nd year 1093 3rd (anka) or 1109 22nd 18th 1110 = 23rd 1092 = first year. Ditto. From the succeeding king's calculations Raja-raja's last year would be Çaka 1112. In the Puri and Kendupăṭnā Last year. copperplates he is credited with a rule of 25 years; which, if taken as anka, would agree, 25th aŋka being equal to 21st year. The inscriptions show that the regnal years had become full aŋkas in his time. In the stone inscriptions of Mukhalingam only the title Anantavarmma Dēva is mentioned. He was son of Cōraganga by another princess Candralekha (copperplates, Puri and Kēndupāṭnā). This relaRelationships. tionship is corroborated by the Megheç vara inscription at Bhuvaneçvara. [Its latest readings are by Babu N. N. Vasu, Jour. As. Soc. Bengal, Vol. LXVI, 1897, pp. 11-24; and by Professor Kielhorn, Ep. Indica, Vol. VI, pp. 198-203]. According to this inscription Rājarāja married Surama, a sister of Svapneçvara Dēva, the erector of the Meghēçvara temple (line 10); and in his old age installed in the government his younger brother Aniyanka Bhima (1. 11). In "the copperplate inscription of Nrsimha Deva II," plate leaf III, reverse, 1. 13, verse 56, the words "pragalbha-vayasi" have been read (transl. "in his early youth "). But from the Mēghēçvara inscription, Rājarāja appears to have come to the throne at least in his middle age. I would therefore prefer to read “pragalbha-vacasi."
