No. 332 of Çrikūrmam shows that Jagannatha Dēva of the Eastern Çalukya family was a feudatory of this king. No. 302 mentions a grant of one Gharaḍamaji Çri-rāma-sēnāpati, who is described as the military chief of Kalinga (kaliṁga-rakṣapāla), breaker of Kumēļi (kumēļi-bhaṁjam), slayer of Kañcāla (Kaṁcāla-çiraç-chēdana) reducer of Kōnddu (Kōmddu-marddana), a lion to Gaṇḍra-dāmu Kōrama (Gaṁḍradāmukōrama simhya-maina), and lastly the own servant and minister (amaitya) of Bhānu Dēva. Except Kalinga, none of the other names I am able to identify.

1274-5. The copperplate year 24 does not agree with the years of reign thus deduced, 26. But the total of years given in the copperplates to this king, his predecessor and his successor comes out equal to the total of years as deduced from their inscriptions.

Dēva II by the queen Lakṣmi Dēvi. The Puri copperplates name only one queen of his, Kamala Devi; but in the Crikurmam inscriptions, Ganga Devi alias Gangamba or Gangambika (Nos. 308, 309, 343, and 344), and probably Kōmmi-dēvammā (Nos. 310 and 345)

[ocr errors]

are mentioned as his queens.. Is Kōmmidēvammā another name of Kāmala Dēvi? He had a daughter through Kōmmidēvammā named Sītā Dēvi (No. 345), and No. 343 records a grant of this Sitā Dēvi.

No. 324 records a remarkable grant of Vira-Bhānu-Dēva III, by which he gave to the temple of Çrikūrmaṁ images of Vira-Narasimha Dēva and Gangāmbikā holding lamps. From this is it to be inferred that Gaŋgāmbikā was the mother of Bhānu Dēva III and not Kamala Devi as stated in the copperplates ?

Historical Facts.

In A.D. 1353, Haji Ilyas, the Bengal ruler, apparently hearing of the death of the king, raided into Jāj-nagar for capturing elephants. Later on, Sangama, the nephew of Bukka I, of Vijayanagara, is credited with having defeated the Gaja-pati, i.e., the Orissa king. Apparently
