c9.s1.17

11. Pampa in his *Vikramārjunavijaya* states that Arikesarin I, the sixth ancestor of his patron Arikesarin II, (c. 925-950 A.D.) had penetrated into the kingdom of a king named Nirupamadeva, with the ministers of Bengerivishaya. (J. B. B. R. A. S. XIV. p. 19). Allowing 25 years for each generation, the time of Arikesarin I works out to be 775-800 A.D. It would, therefore, appear that this Chālukya feudatory had joined the party of Govinda against Dhruva. Can king Bengerivishaya possibly stand for the Vengi ruler?
