Source: What is India: Epigraphia Indica volume XXXI (1955-56)Guṇḍama I (circa 940-43 A.D.) is one of the three sons of Vajrahasta (b. 896 A.D), according to the “Grant of Rājarāja I Devendravarman” (1077 A.D.). Vajrahasta I (circa 896-940 A.D.) is described in a stanza (verse 1) saying that he united under his rule the earth (i.e. the Gaṅga kingdom), which had been previously divided into five parts ruled separately by different kings, and reigned for forty-four years.
Guṇḍama II (circa 1016-1019 A.D.) is the son of Aniyaṅkabhīma I, as mentioned in the “Grant of Rājarāja I Devendravarman” (1077 A.D.). Three stanzas (verses 4-6) speak respectively of three sons of Aniyaṅkabhīma I, viz., Kāmārṇava II (circa 1016 A. D.), Guṇḍama II (circa 1016-1019 A. D.) and Madhukāmārṇava (circa 1019-38 A. D.), who respectively reigned for six months, three years and nineteen years.
These plates (mentioning Guṇḍama) were dug up from the fields of a village in the Bobbili Taluk of the Srikakulam District, Andhra. It records the grant of the village of Koḍila (Koḍili) in the Varāhavarttanī-viṣaya, for the merit of the king and his parents.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
