UDAYENDIRAM PLATES OF VIKRAMADITYA II.
dhiraja and many other Bapa princes had passed away, then there was born in this
family1. Jayanandivarman (1. 20), who ruled the land west of the Andhra country.
His son was2. Vijayaditya I. (1.23); his son3. Malladêve, surnamed Jagadēkamalla (1. 28); his son4. Banavidyadhara (1. 31); his son5. Prabhumêrudêva (1. 34); his son6. Vikramaditya I. (1. 37); his son7. Vijayaditya II., also named Pugalvippavar-Gandal (1. 39); and his son was the
donor 8. Vijayabahu Vikramaditya II., who is stated to have been a friend of a certain
Kfishnaraja (1. 43). The odd plate contains part of an inscription which recorded a grant made by the same king in favour of some Brahmaņs; and this existing portion of it gives the genealogy of the king commencing with Prabhumêrudêva.
These inscriptions are not dated, but they may be assigned with some confidence to about the middle of the 12th century A.D.; for Dr. Hultzsch has shown that the king Bånavidyedhars of the above list probably lived during the first half of the 11th century of our era, because he married a grand-daughter of the Ganga king Sivamaharija, whom Dr. Hultzsch has shown to have reigned between A.D. 1000 and 1016.
The place Udayêndumangala, mentioned in the above, has already been identified by Mr. Le Fanu: with Udayêndiram, where the plates are now preserved.

[According to an unpublished Tamil rock-inscription on the bill of Paficha-'Andava-Malai Dear Arcot, Pagalvippavar-Ganda, i.e. the disgracer of famous (kinge),' was also the name of the father of a local chief, called Vira-Chols, who made a grant to Tirupp&p-Malaidēva (ie, to the Jaina temple on the top of the Paficha.
