Good interesting research by Mr. MD <mmdmello@ .com>. until the last 3 lines. Now I am so confused with the last 3 lines of Mr. MD <mmdmello@ .com> according to Mr.MMdemello. "Technically Sonda/Sounda or Sode Rajas or Sondekars too are the descendants of the Kadambas of Banavasi similar to the Kadambas of Goa and Hangal and Chandavara.
I don't know on what base Mr. MD <mmdmello@ .com> can come to this conclusion.the correct historical conclusion is like Shivaji is of Maratha origin, the Sondekar/Wodeyar are rightfully Kannada origin dynasty and they took over the territories ruled by Kadambas but they are not Kadambas. the only published authority on Kadamba Dynasty is Kadamba Kulla, a History of Ancient and Media val Karnataka by George .M.Moraes, with a preface by Rev.H Heras, Director of Indian Historical Institute, St. Xavier's College, Bombay/Munbai. Published in 1931 by B.X.Furtado and Sons, Bombay has no place for Sondekar/Wodeyar in their writings even when this below mentioned research was available for the George M.Moraes team of researchers. where as the Velliapura inscriptions stones were on the private property owned and occupied by the Velliapura family so were not available for the George M.Moraes team of researchers, this inscriptions stones were brought to light only when a dispute a raised between the Velliapura family and their Coterie after the 2007 passing away of 41st successor to the Kadamba dynasty. George M Moraes and Rev.H Heras devoted their whole resources in this research and in the sunset of their life they published this 'Kadamba kulla' for us does not include or an addition or even a mention of the Sondekar/Wodeyar list of succession. now let me put this before the people of Goa to decide, - why Sondekars/Wodeyar were not included in the descendant line of the Kadambas in 'KADAMBA KULLA'?. if BANAVASI KADAMBA ROOTS OF SONDEKARS.- why Sondekar/Wodeyar didnt call themselves as Kadambas? the correct historical conclusion is like Shivaji is of Maratha origin, the Sondekar/Wodeyar are rightfully Kannada origin dynasty and they took over the territories ruled by Kadambas but they are not Kadambas.

Chandavara Kadambas also patronized Jainism and they called themselves lords of Gokarna and worshipped lord Mahabala of Gokarna in addition to lord Madhukeshwara of Banavasi. Their kings bore a number of epithets, like Banavasi-Puravaradishvara (Lords of Banavasi), Kadamba-chakravarti (Emperor), Mayuravarmma-kulabhushana (pride ob the clan of Kadamba Mayuravarma), Kadambara-abharana (ornament of the Kadambas), Jayanti- Madhukesvaradeva labudha-varaprasada (born with the boon of Lord Madhukesvara of Banavasi), etc. that clearly indicates their Banavasi ancestry. Much later, during the reign of Vijayanagara king Krishnadeva Raya (1509-1529), a local chieftain of Banavasi Kadamba family was looking after the upland Kanara (North Kanara or Haive). He was Jaina by religion and their last chieftain, believed to be Krishna Odeya had no issue, who died in 1555. Therefore, his sister's son (aLiya-nephew) Arsappa Nayaka was appointed ruler of Sonda (10 miles from Sirsi, North Kanara, Karnataka) in 1555 and he ruled until 1578. It is said, the genealogy of Sonda rulers, was recorded by Francis Buchanan, the English traveller, who secured it from the family priest of Sonda rulers from their native village in North Kanara district. During the rule of Madhava Linga Nayaka, they changed their faith to Lingayat sect of Shaivism. Later, King Sadashiva Nayaka (1674-1697) became autonomous when Mughals conquered Bijapur territories and took the title Raja and named himself Sadashiva Linga Raja. In 1685 he became subordinate to Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb who granted him territories from Canacona (incl. forts Sadashivgad (piro) and Shiveshvar) in Goa to Ankola in North Kanara of Karnataka. On the initiative and negotiation of the Portuguese, Aurangzeb in 1706 also agreed to give Ponda mahal (known to Portuguese as Antruz Mahal) to the Sonda king Basava Linga Raja (1697-1745) for an annual tribute of Rs. 80,000/-. Haider's army attacked Sonda kingdom (1763/4) and Immadi (second) Sadashiva Ling Raja (1745 to 1763) fled from Sadashivgad and took shelter with the Portuguese in Bandoda (Goa) and his descendants continue to reside at their ancient Shivthirth palace in Nagueshi-Bandoda in Ponda, Goa. In return for the Portuguese generosity, the Soundekars (Sondekars) offered them four territories they held, namely Ponda, Zambaulim (that includes Sanguem, Quepem Talukas) and Canacona (presently all of them are sub districts in central and southern Goa). These later formed part of new conquest (novas conquistas) of the Portuguese. Technically Sonda/Sounda or Sode Rajas or Sondekars too are the descendants of the Kadambas of Banavasi similar to the Kadambas of Goa and Hangal and Chandavara.
