M. Chakravarti —Eastern Garjga kings of Orissa. [No. 2, 
Coragaqga had the family surnames Ananta-Yarmman, ‘and 
H's titles Calukya-gaqga, and the special surnames 
Gai)ge 9 vara and probably Vikrama-Gaqga. 
His virudas are given in nearly the same words in No. 149 of Mukliali^gam 
and No. 392 of Ronagki. They run as follows in Ronaqki:— 
“ Samara-inukh-aneka-ripu-darppa-niarddana-bhuja-bala-parcikrama 
fiarama-mcihes(g)vara parama-bliattaraka maha-rdj-adhirdja parames(g) 
vara nava-navati-sahasra‘kumjar-ddhis(c)vara tn-Kalimg-adhipati [these 
two omitted in Mukhaliggam] Gatngg-cinvay-avalambana-stambha. 
The inscriptions show him to be the most famous and powerful 
king of this dynasty. According to all the 
copperplates he conquered the king of 
Historical facts. 
Utkala. According to Yizagapatam plates, after conquering the 
Utkala king he replaced him as a feudatory; and he conquered also 
Yeqgi. 
According to Puri and Kendupatna plates, Gaqge^vara first de¬ 
stroyed the fortified town of Aramya or Anamya and then defeating on 
the banks of the Ganges the king of Mandara, pursued him in his flight. 
Is the tract Mandara identifiable with Sirkar Mandaran of Ain-i Akbari 
[Vol. II., p. 141], whose headquarters, Garh Mandaran (now known as 
Bhitargarh, eight miles west of Aram-bagh) is about fifty miles from the 
Ganges on the map, and which place was a well-known frontier town in 
the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries P. 
By these conquests, C5ragai]ga extended his kingdom from the 
Ganges on the north to the river Gautami (Gddavari) on the south. 
On the west the frontier was ill-defined. But from inscriptions of the 
Cedi kings of Daksina-Kosala he appears to have fought with them, and 
Ratnadevais said to have defeated him [Ep. Ind., Yol. I, p. 40, v. 4; Do., 
p. 47, v. 5]. Ratnadeva flourished about A.D, 1114-1145. 
He was evidently in good terms with the Sena kings of Bengal; in 
p. of the vallala-caritam of Ananda Bhatta, edited by Pandit Hara- 
prasad fastri, YijayaSena is specially described as Cdragarjga-sakhah , a 
friend of Coragarjga. 
He was a good patron of religious works and charities. Under his 
orders was built the great temple of Jagaunatha at Puri. Numerous 
grants of him, his relatives and his officers have been recorded in the 
temple of Mukhaliijg^vara (Madhuke^vara ?) at Mukhaliijgam, Ganjam 
District. 
Science and letters were cultivated during his rule. No poem of 
his time has yet come to hand; but the inscriptions show a fair know¬ 
ledge of Sanskrit literature. Compositions in Telugu were also not 
neglected.
