A.D. 844-888. C. P. grant, undated, of a village in ‘Gudravāra-Viṣaya’, near the Gōdāvari, by the E. Chāḷukya king Guṇaka-Vijayāditya III. His principal achievement, mentioned in several records, was that he ‘cut off the head of Maṅgi in battle’, also that he ‘frightened the (Rāṣṭrakūṭa) Kṛṣṇa II and Śankila and burned their city Kiraṇapura.’ Hence we gather that the incessant wars between Eastern Chāḷukya and Rāṣṭrakūṭa kings continued to devastate the country.
