[In A. D. 597 the Chāḷukya king Kīrttivarmā I was succeeded by his brother Mangalēśa. A Mātanga tribe was destroyed by Mangalēśa; and he defeated in 609 Buddharāja, the Kaṭachuri ruler of Chēdi, in the Mahākōsala country of Central India (*Vaḍner plates, Ep. Ind. vi, 294; xii, 30.*) He slew a ‘Chāḷukya’ chief in the Konkan, perhaps a rebel, called ‘Svāmirāja’. Mangalēśa is said to have lost his own life in an endeavour to secure the throne for his own son Dhruvarāja *alias* Indravarman, in opposition to the claims of the rightful heir, Pulakēśin II, son of Kīrttivarma I. Pulakēśin II succeeded in gaining the throne in A.D. 609. (*Ind. Ant. 1881, p. 57; 1891, p. 3.*)]
