No. 214 of 1926-27)- Yeribyateri, Ron Taluk, Dharwar District- On A Stone Set Up In Front Of The Temple Of Ramalinga - This much damaged inscription belongs to the reing of Tribhuvanamalla-Permadideva ( Vikramaditya VI). It refers to a subordinate who belonged to [Papakalla-kula] and records a gift to the gof of Balera Jogesvarada Mulasthana and to the god Bolesvara. It entions Chavunda-Gavunda, Joma-Gavunda, Joga-Gavunda and Jakkeyabe. The record is date Saka 968 , Parthiva, paushya, su. [2 ], Sunday, Uttrayanasankramana. In Parthiva, the sankramana fell not on Sunday but on Tuesday (=December 24 , A.D. 1045). But in the previous year, i.e., Tarana, it fell on Sunday, Paushya, su. 1 + Sunday, December 23 , 1044 A.D. The latter appears to be the more probable date of the record. Since the date falls during the first year of the reign of Trailokyamalla Somesvara I, the father of Vikramaditya VI, it is not possible to account for the imperial titles applied to the latter as early as A.D. 1044.No. 180 (B.K. No. 268 of 1927-28) - Kop, Bagalkot Taluk, Bijapur District On A Slab Lying Behind The Temple Of Durgavva - This mutilated record belongs to the period of Vikramaditya VI and mentions Perggade Muddarasa , who is described as endowed with the office of the Mahamatya (a great minister). It mentions rajadhani Vikramapura. We know from inscriptions that Arasibidi in the Hungund Taluk of the Bijapur District, was knows as Vikramapura and as the secondary capital of the Western Chalukyas. Since a portion of the inscription is chiselled away, it is nt possible to make out the object of the record. The inscription bears the date Chalukya- Vikrama year 10 , Krodhana, Ashadha, su. 1 , Wednesday, Dakshinayana-sankranti. Its English equivalent is A.D. 1085 , June 25 , Wednesday; .82. Perggade = headman Officials at the local level were the pergade, nadabova, nalagamiga, prabhu and gavunda.[ 49 ] The pergades were superintendents from all social classes such as artisans, gold smiths, black smiths etc. The pergades dealing with the royal household were called manepergade (house superintendent) and those who collected tolls were called Sunka vergades. In the annals of temple history, many Perggades spokesmen of Dharma Daivas carved out their names by dint of labour of hands, piety of souls, brilliance of minds and benignity of hearts. The Perggades, as ordained became hereditary representatives of the Dharmadevathas, and every Perggade deeming it his most sacred duty contributed his best to making the small shrines rise into gigantic world famous institutions through an infinite variety of ministrations they introduced from time to time.Tribhuvanamalladeva - Of Vikramaditya VI, also known as Vikramarka and Vikramanka and having the titles Permadi and Tribhuvanamalla, we have a number of inscriptions in this district. Though his reign is taken to begin from 1076 , we have an inscription at Hulegondi near Chitradurga,72 dated 1074 , giving the full Chalukya royal titles to Tribhuvanamalladeva (Vikramaditya). There have, however, been found in the Chitradurga district two inscriptions, both dated 971 and belonging to Taila's father Vikramaditya.
