A.D. 757-58. Vakkalēri plates. A very important record with pedigree of the Western Chālukya kings down to the reigning sovereign Kirttivarma II. At the date of the grant he was in camp at a place in the Sholapur District, Bombay, a long way north of Bādāmi, his capital. It looks as if he had fled after Dantidurga's seizure of the W. Chālukya dominions. (E. C. x, Kl. 63; S.I.I. iv 145.)
