The recently published Arumbaka plates of Bādapa(37) inform us that the Eastern Chalukya king, Amma II, was driven out by Bādappa, son of Yudhāmalla II, with the help of Karṇa. Since the epithet Vallabha is added to the name of Karṇa, it is almost certain that Karṇa is the same as Kṛṣṇa III, the form Karṇa being a wrong Sanskritisation of Kannara, the Prakrit name of Kṛṣṇa. It would thus appear that Kṛṣṇa completed his mastery over the whole of the peninsula to the south of the Narmadā by putting his own ally on the throne of Vengi. This he must have accomplished at the fag end of his reign.³⁸
