Rise of the Chālukya dynasty of Bādāmi. According to tradition, the Chālukyas were of northern origin. The establishment of their power in the south is ascribed, in the Miraj and Kauṭhem plates, to Jayasiṃha I, the earliest named prince of the line. In the sixth century A.D. the Chālukyas established themselves in the Dekkan at the expense of the Pallavas, founding a kingdom which in its palmiest days embraced the greater part of Southern India. See under A.D. 630 and 973.—JRAS., o.s., ii, 380; iii, 258 ff. BD., sec. x. FKD., Bom. Gaz., 335–381. IA. xvi, 17; xvii, 199. EI. iii, 2.
