A record of Ganga Ereyappa’s at Bēgūr near Bangalore refers to his war with the E. Chālukya king, calling Bhīma II by the name ‘Vīra Mahēndra and Gaṇḍamahēndra’. It makes out that Bhīma attacked the Noḷamba country, and that Ereyappa assisted Noḷamba Ayyappa’s defence against aggression. This must have taken place before A.D. 938 which was Ereyappa’s last year. There was a battle at Tumbēpāḍi, and a Nāgattara chief, feudatory to Ereyappa, lost his life. (E.C. ix. Bn. 83; E.I. i, 346; vi, 47, vii, 77; x, 54.)
