And it is also of importance in shewing that Pulikêśin had established himself at Bâdâmi before the date recorded in it; and consequently, that the earlier expeditions and successes described in the Aihole inscription as preliminary to the consolidation of his power were at any rate anterior to A. D. 612. - [Previous: c8.s12.180](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.180) - [Next: c8.s12.182](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.182) - [Up: c8.s12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.181](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.181) · Pramāṇa
