¹ The earliest known date of Kṛṣṇa II is 888 A.D. supplied by the Bettigiri inscription. (E. I., XIII, p. 189) An inscription from Kunimellihalli in Dharwar district, dated 896 A.D., refers itself to the reign of Mahāsāmantādhipati Kannarvallabha. It is quite certain that Kṛṣṇa was not a Yuvarāja at this time. The feudatory title applied to him in this record must be either an accidental mistake, or Kannaradeva of the record was different from Kṛṣṇa II. The later alternative is improbable, as Dharwar was at this time under direct imperial administration, the local governor being Lokāditya, the son of Bankeya, the famous general of Amoghavarsha.
