    I. Even From That Record We Learn The Fact, Not So Much From

    This document summarizes information from the Vira-saiva-dharma-siromani about the lineage of the Keladi Rajas of Ikkeri and Bednur. It discusses differences between the lineage presented in this text compared to one presented by Mr. Sewell. The key differences are: 1) Shadakshari mentions two sons of Dodda Sankanna who reigned - Rama-raja and Venkata, while Sewell does not mention Rama-raja. 2) Shadakshari gives the name of Venkata's grandson as Vira-bhadra, while Sewell calls him Bhadrappa. 3

    I THE KELADI RAJAS OF IKKEEI AND BEDNUK 149

    I
    I. even from that record we learn the fact, not so much from
    its mention of Asoka's respect and favour for " Buddha,
    the Dharma, and the Samgha",— so far, the record might
    be Jain quite as much as Buddhist, since " Buddha " was
    an appellation or epithet of Mahavira as well as of
    Gautama,—as from its mention of certain texts which
    are identified as Buddhist texts. In the Last Edict,
    however, there is absolutely nothing to disclose any
    sectarian nature, except the statement at the end, dating
    it, somewhat obscurely, 256 years after the death of the
    founder of Buddhism.

    THE KELADI RAJAS OF IKKEBI AND BEDNUR


    In 1908 was published at Mysore, in the Vira-saiva-
    grantha-praka^ika Series, the Vira-saiva-dharma-siromani
    of Shadakshari Mantri. This worthy was a minister of
    Basavappa Nayaka, the Raja of Bednur, and has prefixed
    to his book a metrical pedigree of his patron's family.
    As this account in some respects differs from the details
    given by Mr. Sewell in his List of Antiquities, Madras,
    vol. ii, p. 177, it may be worth while to summarize it here.
    Shadakshari mentions two sons of the elder Sankanna,
    Rama-raja and Venkata, as having reigned successively ;
    Mr. Sewell does not appear to know of the former.
    Shadakshari gives the name of Venkata's grandson and
    successor as Vira-bhadra; in Mr. Sewell's list he is
    Bhadrappa, which is really his father's name. According
    to Shadakshari, the younger Sankanna had a son
    Siddappa, whose son Sivappa succeeded Vira-bhadra;
    in Mr. Sewell's list Sivappa is the brother of Siddappa.
    Shadakshari states that Sivappa was succeeded by his
    younger brother Venkata, who is omitted in Mr. Sewell's
    pedigree. Shadakshari gives the name of Soma-sekhara's
    consort as Channamamba, Mr. Sewell as Dodda Chinna-
    maji. The son of this pair was Praudha-sri-Basava, who,

    according to Mr. Sewell, was adopted by them; but


    Shadakshari explicitly calls him the tanuja of the queen.
    The whole pedigree as given by Shadakshari is accordingly
    as follows :—

    The additional information derivable from this list is
    of some interest. A considerable amount of historical
    literature exists in Mysore which is hardly known in
    Europe, and it is much to be desired that a critical scholar
    like Mr. Narasimhachar should publish a digest of it in
    English or Kannada.

    NOTES ON THE DYNASTIES OF BENGAL AND NEPAL


    I. The chronology and names of the Pala dynasty of
    Bengal are still far from being definitely settled.1 A small
    fact may be gathered from the colophon of the MS.
    Or. 6902 in the British Museum, a beautiful copy of
    1
    Some additional information from Tibetan sources has been recently
    collected by Mahamahopadhyaya Satlschandra Vidyabhushana in
    Appendix B of his History of the MedianxU School of Indian Logic.
    Reference may also be made to an article by Mr. V. Smith in Ind. Ant.,
    1909, 233 ff.
