In the works of the poet Pampa, or Hampa as he was called in later times, we have earlier and more definite information than has hitherto been published regarding the period from which the Kannaḍa or Karṇâṭaka (so-called Canarese) language has been used for purposes of literary composition. From his first work, the Âdi Purâṇa, we learn that he was born in Śaka 824. But his second work, called Vikramârjuṇa Vijaya or the Pampa Bhârata, which established his fame, tells us that both were written in the same year—Śaka 863— and adds many particulars full of interest in regard to himself, and the circumstances under which he wrote.

page 22 note 3 The dominion of the Western Châḷukyas is described in inscriptions as a 7½ lakh country. The same designation is applied to the Hoysala kingdom of Mysore. Gaṅgavâḍi, the original territory of the Gaṅgas, was a 96,000 lakh country.
