An inscription at Kerguderi,* near Hangal, gives very full detail of 

 the genealogy. The founder of the family was Mayura Varma, who 

 was born on the earth like Siva,t the subduer of hostile r^jas, the sacri- 

 ficer of the furious elephant bound to the white stone pillar of the 

 Himavat mountains, the performer of the Aswa Medha sacrifice, who 

 brought the eighteen tribes of Durjas or Brahmans from Ahi chhatra 

 and fixed them in Kunlalavani, the lord of seventy-seven Simhasa- 

 nams, &c.

Other names occur subsequent to these in different inscriptions, as; 

 Santi Varma, Taila, Saka 1079, Karna, Sovi Deva, or Somes war, and 

 Vira Malli Deva, Saka 1163-73, but none of them have been referred 

 to their exact places in the tree. Tailapa seems to have been the most 

 powerful of the family in more modern times. He is described as 

 " the servant existing at the lotos-feet of Tribhuvana Malla Vikram, the 

 maha mandaleswar, lord of the five great sabdas, lord of Banawassi
