Madhava, found in the Baguda village of the Goorasur taluk in the 

 Ganjam district. Dr. Keilhorn gives an account of the Baguda plate 

 ill the Epigraphia India, Vol. III., p. 40. 



The new record consists of three plates strung together by a ring, 

 the ends of which are secured in a seal. The seal contains in relief the 

 figure of a bull and the words, " Sre Sainyabhetasya" {i.e., of the glo- 

 rious Sainyabheta.) All the plates are inscribed, the middle one on 

 sides. The engraving is deep and legible. 



The character of writing indicates that these plates cannot be later 

 than the latter half of the seventh century. The plates enable us to 

 revise the genealogy of the dynasty wliich stands thus : — 



1. Sailodbhara, the founder. 



2. Rarabhita, descended from 1. 



3. Sainyabhita I, son of 2. 



4. Yasobhita I, descended from 3. 



5. Saiuyabhita II, son of 4. 



6. Yasobhita II, son of 5. 



7. Madhavaraya, Madhavendra, or Madbava Varman, son of 6.
