....part of Mr.Nilkant Sah Paddams writing, he is the coterie disciple. The Kadamba rule in south India is marked by glory and prosperity though the ruling dynasty fell the centuries old organization with its several institutions run by hereditary workers was too strong to fade away became the royal coterie. According to Mr.Upadhiaya assume that Jayesha the grandson of the Kadambarasa of Hangal with the help from his son Malikar II must have carried out their business managed by continuity of hereditary appointments. They are the ones who reinvented the family as Haliyal small businessmen selling timber and construction lime, a Konkan roasted oyster shell product was introduced by them through Haliyal yard while they lived in costal Velliapura. Giving another look through the eyes of Kannada language expert at both cremation stones inscription from Velimpura it can be seen that they are both sponsored by Jayesha ‘…by his grandson’ and the other‘…by her nephew’ equivalent to year 1368AD and 1396AD. It is easy to conclude that Kadamba Purandaria ruler of Hangal lived past his son as cremation rites was carried by his grand son Jayesha. The name of Jayesha’s father who was crown prince (Uvraj of Hangal) is not known. The second stone marks the death and cremation of his father’s sister the Queen of Goa VeenomaiDevi beauty and wife of Suriya-Deva, slain Sovereign at Chandrapur palace and daughter of Late Purandadeva, Kadambarasa of Hangal also confirms this history that in the absence of her own heir the cremation rites were carried by her nephew Jayesha. According to this famous historical source held sacred by Coterie, Purandarai ruler of Hangal and family on the eve of his fall in 1347 secretly traveled over night to joined his daughter who herself took shelter in safer Jayakeshi Velimpura compound in 1345 when her husband was assassinated by Mohammedans at present day Chandor. They both spent the rest of their worldly life in Velimpura. With his father out of picture it must have been Jayesha after the birth of his son Mailkar II deciding for the safety of his family was converted by the Nasranis of Malabar to disguise themselves to Mohammedans commanders of the area in the 1400’s. Syrian origin worship items and anointing oil alabastrons saved by Mr.Upadhiaya’s great grand father who served as ‘Sarva-Karyakarta’ meaning chief secretary, those items which he moved to Belgaum after the 1855 British confiscation of Haliyal compound is convincing evidence. Following that Nasranis conversion they took to Christian names like Tumasa as of St.Thomas. From Haliyal stone inscriptions of 1509 ‘enemy turned into friend’.We get the name of Irivinda Tomasa, grand son of Mailkar II, Tomasa had made a deal of mutual co-operation with Timu the Konkan sea pirate to keep the Mohammedans away. Timu in those crucial years provided protection for their ancestors in Haliyal yard in return for timber for his shipbuilding needs. According to Mr.Upadhiaya this timberyard which was located separately east from the Goa Kadamba Haliyal fort was basically Goa ruling reigns armoury. If we superimpose this period in history we can derive that soon after the deal Timu went a step further and brought his friends at sea namely Portuguese troops and announced his administration in Goa . The Haliyal compound was with the Velliapura Roqiue Santana family descendents until the British confiscation in 1855.
