At this time (c. 870-880 A.D.), Satyavākya Koṅguṇivarma Būtuga I had just come to the throne or his father Rāchamalla's reign was drawing to a close. It was, therefore, a nice opportunity to attack. The Nolambas of Nolambawadi who were the feudatories of the Gangas, had to bear the brunt of the attack as Nolambawadi lay between Vengi-maṇḍala and the Ganga territory. Vijayāditya defeated Nolamba army killing, probably by some trick, (14) its general Maṅgi, who seems to have been a relative of the ruler of Nolambawadi. He then advanced into Gangawadi and besieged and apparently captured a fort.
