A.D. 565. [The Chālukya Kīrttivarma I came to the throne in succession to his father Pulakēśin I. He fought a number of battles and before the year A.D. 570 defeated a confederation of Kadamba princes, headed by Krishnavarman II. The Kadambas are little heard of after this. They succumbed to the Chālukyas. Kīrttivarma is said in inscriptions to have conquered seventeen southern nations. He began the construction of the cave-temples at Bādāmi. He also claims to have defeated the kings of Kalinga.]
