a son Buddhavarmman ruling in Kaira. A copperplate of Buddhavarmman's son Vijayarája found in Kaira is granted from Vijayapura identified with Bijápur near Parántij, but probably some place further south, as the grant is made to Bráhmans of Jambusar. Five copperplates remain of this branch of the Chálukyas, the Navsárí grant of Sryásraya Síláditya Yuvarája dated A.D. 669-70 (T. 421); the Surat grant of the same Síláditya dated A.D. 691-2 (T. 443); the Balsár grant of Vinayáditya Mangalarája dated A.D. 731 (Saka 653); the Navsárí grant of Pulakesi Janásraya dated A.D. 738-9 (T. 490); the Kaira grant of Vijayarája dated Samvatsara 394; and the undated Nirpan grant of Nágavarddhana Tribhuvanásraya. [Sryásraya Síláditya (Heir Apparent), A.D. 669-691.] The first four grants mention Jayasimhavarmman as the younger brother of Vikramáditya Satyásraya the son of Pulakesi Satyásraya the conqueror of Harshavarddhana the lord of the North. Jayasimhavarmman's eldest son was Sryásraya Síláditya who made his Navsárí grant in A.D. 669-70 (T. 421); the village granted being said to be in the Navasáriká Vishaya. Sryásraya's other plate dated A.D. 691-2 (T. 443) grants a field in the village of Osumbhalá in the Kármaneya Áhára that is the district of Kámlej on the Tápti fifteen miles north-east of Surat. In both grants Síláditya is called Yuvarája, which shows that his father ruled with him from A.D. 669 to A.D. 691. Both copperplates show that these kings treated as their overlords the main dynasty of the southern Chálukyas as respectful mention is made in the first plate of Vikramáditya Satyásraya and in the second of his son Vinayáditya Satyásraya. Apparently Sryásraya died before his father as the two late grants of Balsár and Khedá give him no place in the list of rulers. [Mangalarája, A.D. 698-731.] Jayasimhavarmman was succeeded by his second son Mangalarája. A plate of his found at Balsár dated A.D. 731 (Saka 653) records a grant made from Mangalapurí, probably the same as Purí the doubtful Konkan capital of the Siláháras. [387] As his elder brother was heir-apparent in A.D. 691-2 (T. 443), Mangalarája must have succeeded some years later, say about A.D. 698-9 (T. 450). From this it may be inferred that the copperplate of A.D. 731 was issued towards the end of his reign.
