Epigraphist, lawyer decipher inscription
M.K. Vinod Kumar
A REVELATION: An eighth century stone inscription found at Hirenallur in Chikmagalur district.
CHIKMAGALUR: H.M. Nagaraja Rao, epigraphist, and Hareesh Singategere, advocate, have deciphered an eighth century stone inscription that throws new light on the genealogy of the Ganga kings.
The unpublished broken hero stone inscription belonging to the period of Ganga king Sripurusha, about 725-788 A.D., was unearthed during the renovation of Mallikarjuna temple in Hirenallur in Kadur taluk.
According to Mr. Singategere, the inscription mentions that king Sripurusha seized a place and Nirgunda Muttarasa who was ruling Asandinadu and his son Dundamma participated in a fight. Dundamma and his son Paramagula were so far considered feudatories of the Ganga kings.
If Sripurusha who was also known as Mutturasa and Nirgunda Muttarasa named in the inscription were the same person, then Dundamma was the son of Sripurusha. The inscription reveals for the first time that Sripurusha had other titles like Arivallabha and Vallavarasa.
