1068, and the year Paradavi 1175 (A. D. 125f), for a space of 107
years, there Avas no person in the possession of the kingdom. Some

I have already mentioned the probable cause of the overthrow of
the Belalla family's authority in Tulava. These servants of the
king, who strengthened themselves, were according to Ramuppa
the ancestors of the Jain Rajas, such as the Choutar, Bungar, By-
rasuJVodears, &c. &c. who have in this journal been often men-

Jain princes subject to his authority. It would appear, that hecume
from Pandava, the district contiguous to Cape Comorin; and he is
said to have introduced from thence the singular mode of succession
that prevails in Tulava, as well as in Malaydla. The Raya Paditti
then proceeds thus.
