17 is granted that Kampa I was dead long ago, any inscription dated after S 1268, the presumed date of death of this prince, and having the name Hiriya Kampana in it, should necessarily be ascribed to the elder son of that came of Bukka I, and those giving the name of the prince as Chikka-Kampana.should be allotted to the reiga of the younger son. Anyhow, it has become now imperative to bear in mind the existence of one more Kampa, a younger brother of Kampana, the vanquisher of the Sultan of the South. Then again, the name Devayi, the queen of Bukka I, is also a new one; and as no inscription mentions a name such as this among the queens of Bukka I, the kavya by giving out the name of the mother of Kampana has added one more fact to the stock of our knowledge of the Soata Indian History. The inscriptions belonging to the time of Kampana are found in many parts of the southern districts of the Madras Presidency and in Mysore, covering a period ending. with S'1296, Ananda. He was alive, at least, till the first tithi of the bright fortnight of the Karttika month in the year Ananda; on that day he had done something which is not clear in the inscription, while yet he was ruling the earth.* A month after, Kampana seems to have died in Margasirsha, for his son Jammana-Udaiyar is found ruling over the Maratakanagara province. a fact which distinctly enables us to infer that Kampana was dead and Jammana as- cended the gubernatorial seat of his father. There is also direct proof for this surmise in inscriptions; for two records found in Tiruvannamalai and dyil and dated in the year S 1496 † clearly mention that Jammana made certain gifts for the merit of his deceased father. The demise of Kampana some time before his father Bukka accounts for the accession of his younger brother, Harihara II, to the throne; S. I. Ins, Vol. I, p. 103, No. 72- † Ep. An. Rep.
