B.t.w. is there any intimate connection of RAShTrakUTas with Agastya symbolism? And does this connection has anything to do with KUTa = waterjar, N. of Agastya, L.; also named as KUTa-ja "born in a pitcher", N. of the sage Agastya (cf. Nir. v, 13 and 14)
Did these RAShTrakUTas consider themselves as royal KUTas (KarmadhAraya SamAsa)?
The Reddies somehow claim to have a connection with RAShTrakUTas, but also with Agastya symbolism:
Vema Reddy seems to have declared: " I restored all the agraharas of Brahmins, which had been taken away by the evil Moslem kings". "I am indeed an Agastya to the ocean which was made of the Moslem".
The capital of Vidarbha is KuNDinapura. Agastya was married to Lopamudra, daughter of king Vidarbha, a Yaduvamshi.
If the Paramaras, with the Gotra VasiShTha, are indeed related to the RAShTrakUTas, they may have been KuNDinas (KauNDinya VasiShThas- also related to a waterjar: kuNDa = kUTa = kumbha).
MAnya in MAnyakheta gives a reflection of MAnya = Agastya MaitrAvaruNi.
Does this make sense?
