From Sal. Sac. 1412, down to 148(5, eight persons ruled, as follows : 



Years. 



Pravuda deva raven, son of Pravuda Singha rayen.. 5 



Vira Narasimha rayen . 2 



Narasimha rayen 12 



Crishna rayen 16 



Sada Siva rayen , 5 



Achyuta rayen 12 



Timmaiya * 8 



Rama rayen, in the name of Sada Siva rayen 22 



In this statement there is a discrepancy of eight years. During the 



government of Rama rayen, in the name of Sada Siva rayen, one named 

 ChicJcadeva rayen received the fort of HaUi honur, and with it a coun- 

 try producing a revenue of nine lakhs, from Rama rayen, as a fief. 

 After ChicJcadeva, one named Sada Siva nayak ruled four years. His son 

 was Santana nayak. A list of successors, as local chieftains, or 

 feudal barons of Honur, follows ; but the document at the end remains 

 unfinished. 



Section 6. Account of Uduguni in the same district. 



The origin, m a legendary manner, is carried up to the time of the five 

 Pdndavas. The Cadamba dynasty afterwards ruled over this place. Of 

 the Rayer dynasty, Deva rayen especially distinguished this place. 

 In a discussion with the people of the country, occasion arose of ap- 

 proaching the foot of a tree where there was a large ant-hill, out of 

 which a large guana lizard issued ; fell upon the attendants of the local 

 chief; and bit them severely. From this it was inferred that something 

 special was connected with this ant hill; and on digging it up, an 

 image of Hanuman and of Sala devi were found. A fane was built for 

 these images, especially for Sala devi, and from her name the word 

 Uduguni is said to be derived. It is added that the Cadamba dynasty, 

 ruled down to Sal. Sac. 1025. For a time it was not under any king. 

 Afterwards the Rayer dynasty is adverted to, but, in both cases, only 

 with a reference to matters connected with the shrine of Sala devi. 

 A sassanam remains, whence it appears that in Sal. Sac. 1291, Bukha 

 rayen, gave to the fane the two villages of Muchari and Mudali. 



In Sal. Sac. 1416 the Padshah of Bijapur, captured the place, and gave 

 it in charge to Vira navadiyar. The Seringapatam rulers acquired, 

 at a later time, the sovereignty; and, at still later times, it was under 

 the management of amildars.
