From Harita, resembling the Creator, Bappaka, so the tale 
goes, obtained regal s lendour in the guise of an an let,! after 
he had bestowed on the sage ey. (splendour) under the guise 
: his devotion. Even now these princes here, who are born 
n his race, are shining intensely sa ad surface of the earth, 
foaly. like the regal duties in bodil 
As Bappaka or Bapa is here repre Siero to have exchanged 
i priestly splendour (braéhmya) for regal lustre (kshdtram mahah) 
receptor Haritarasi, it will be seen that the stanza 
evicisnnthe intends making us understand that Bapa was a Brah- 
mana and Haritarasi a Kshatriya. The same thing is specified 
1331 above alluded to. The same verse is repeated in the 
Mamadeva praéasti. It is as follows 
alaerigug afee “essen er are

May Anaihdapura be victorious, which shines with the 
beauty of a portion of the earth, and which has, even while on 
the wiitied of the earth, humbled the city of the gods by its 
Peer prosperity ; coming from which, the Brahmana Bappa, 
was free from worldly attachment and had established the 
onciifibial post on the altar, viz., the earth (surrounded) by the 
our oceans, worshipped the pair of the lotus-like feet of 
Somipe cay 
the points worthy of note are first that Bappa is dis- 
knethy sailed a Brahmana (vipra), and secondly, that he is said 
o have come from Anandapura. Now, as regards the identi- 
ri

Dr. Fleet’s view with regard to this identification (Ep. Ind., vi,
