A.D. 888–918. Masulipatam plates. Record in the reign of the Eastern Chāḷukya king Chāḷukya-Bhīma who gave to Brahmans a village near the Krishna river in memory of his son who, at the age of sixteen, was killed in battle. The king is said to have defeated the armies of the Rāshṭrakuṭa king Krishna II and his allies the kings of Gujarāt and Karṇāṭa. Battles were fought at Niravadyapura and Peruvangūr, and the young prince fell after having killed from his elephant the Rāshṭrakuṭa general Guṇḍayya. (V. R. ii. Kistna, 9; E. R. 1914, p. 84.)
