[The history of these few years in Mysore and the neighbourhood may now be summed up. Mahēndra I, the Noḷamba chief, had fallen out with the reigning Ganga, and had been temporarily victorious in a battle fought against him, so that he ruled part of Salem District in A.D. 892. Then the Ganga Būtuga I took the field, fought three battles against Mahēndra, and in the end defeated him at Sāmiya, Būtuga's son Ereyappa having distinguished himself in the capture of these fortresses. Mahēndra was thus finally beaten before A.D. 904. Shortly afterwards Mahēndra was killed by Ereyappa, the Ganga prince.]
