A long account of the deeds of Guṇaka-Vijayāditya is given in the Piṭhāpuram grant, and the Maliyapūṇḍi grant of Amma Rāja II at a later date (E. I. ix, 47 ; I. A. vii, 16). Maṅgi is described as ruling the ‘Noḍamba’ (for Noḷamba) country. Śankila is called ‘Lord of Dāhala’, and Hultzsch identifies him with Śamkara-gaṇa or Śankuka, son of Kokkala I of the Kalachūri chiefs of Chēdi, whose sister married Rāṣṭrakūṭa Kṛṣṇa II (877-913 A.D.)¹
