A.D. 934-945. Reign of the E. Chālukya, Chālukya-Bhīma III. He lived in disturbed times, being opposed on all sides. He had to deal with the supporters, in his own kingdom, of Yuddhamalla II whom he had driven from the throne. He fought with and claimed to have defeated the Rāshṭrakūṭa king Gōvinda IV ruling the country to his west. The Noḷamba-Pallava chief Ayyappa-Nanniga, assisted by a force sent by the Western Ganga chief Ereyappa, jointly fought against him, and these enemies of his were joined by the Banavāśi chief Bijja alias Dantivarman, and several other local rulers.
