[45] Several later mentions of a Tripurushaprásáda show there was only one building of that name. The statement that the great Múlarája I. built a Tripurushaprásáda seems a mistake, due to a confusion with prince Múlarája. [↑]

[50] This Jayakeśi is Jayakeśi I. son of Shashṭhadeva (Śuchakeśi) the third of the Goa Kádambas. Jayakeśi’s recorded date a.d. 1052 (S. 974) fits well with the time of Karṇa (Fleet’s Kánarese Dynasties, 91). The Prabandhachintámaṇi tells the following story of the death of Jayakeśi. Jayakeśi had a favourite parrot whom he one day asked to come out of his cage and dine with him. The parrot said: The cat sitting near you will kill me. The king seeing no cat replied: If any cat kills you I too will die. The parrot left his cage, ate with the king, and was killed by the cat. Jayakeśi made ready his funeral pyre, and, in spite of his minister’s prayers, taking the dead parrot in his hand laid himself on the funeral pyre and was burned. [↑]
