<div type="commentary">
<p>The expression <foreign>cālukyāryārṇṇava-vaṁśa-dvayālayaikaḥ</foreign> In line 8 may have great historical importance, but I wonder how accurately it has been read. It is known from the <ref target="DHARMA_INSVengiCalukya00080.xml">Musinikuṇḍa grant of Viṣṇuvardhana III</ref> that Kubja Viṣṇuvardhana had a queen named Ayyaṇa Mahādevī. It seems more than likely that Jayasiṁha I is here said to be the son of that queen, and that her family had great enough local importance to be mentioned on a par with the Cālukya line in Jayasiṁha’s ancestry (reminiscent of how the Viṣṇukuṇḍi Vikramendravarman II’s Vākāṭaka descent is highlighted). I wonder if the actual text here may begin with <foreign>cālukyāyyaṇa-vaṁśa-</foreign>. It is also entirely possible that the name Ayyaṇa had a Sanskritic variant Ārya (or Āryaṇa or even Āryārṇava), and if so, then it may be linked to the family recorded as Āryāhva or Āryāhū in the <ref target="DHARMA_INSVengiCalukya00053.xml">Koṇḍaṇagūru grant of Indra Bhaṭṭāraka</ref>, issued at the instance of the <foreign>mahārāja</foreign> Koṇḍivarman (or perhaps Roṇḍivarman) of that family.</p>
