He had the usual \*biruda\* of Satyâśraya, and also that of Râjâśraya, “asylum of kings:” the Kauthêm grant mentions him by the \*biruda\* of Yuddhamalla, “the wrestler or champion in war,” without giving his proper name at all; but there is no contemporaneous authority for this; and it is possibly taken in reality from Yuddhamalla-Maṅgalarasa of Gujarât, one of the sons of Dharâśraya-Jayasimhavarman. He also had the epithet of \*śrīprithivīvallabha\*. And he used the titles of \*Mahārājādhirāja\*, \*Paramēśvara\*, and \*Bhaṭṭāraka\* or \*Bhaṭāra\*.¹ His own records describe him as acting, at the command of his father, the excessively exalted power of the three kings of Choḷa, Pâṇḍya, and Kêraḷa, and so gratifying his father’s mind by bringing all the provinces into a state of peace and quiet;² and as reducing the Pallavas, Kaḷabhras, Kêraḷas, Haihayas (\*i.e.\* Kalachuris), Vilas, Maḷavas,³ Chôḷas, Pâṇḍyas, and other peoples, to a similar state of servitude with his hereditary servants the Âḷuvas (\*i.e.\* Âḷupas), the Gaṅgas, and others.⁴ And subsequent records add that he levied tribute from the rulers of the Kavêras or Kamêras and the Pârasīkas, and of Siṁhaḷa, \*i.e.\* Ceylon; that he acquired the \*palidhvaja\*-banner, and other insignia of sovereignty, by defeating some paramount king of Northern India whose name is not specified,⁵ but who may perhaps be the Vajraṭa whom some of the Râshṭrakûṭa records⁶ mention in connection with the victories of the Western Chalukyas; and that his son Vijayâditya, pushing on further to the north even than himself, acquired again the \*palidhvaja\*-banner, and also the signs of the rivers Gaṅgâ and Yamunâ, the \*ḍhakkā\*-drum, and other attributes and wealth.⁷ - [Previous: c8.s12.271](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.271) - [Next: c8.s12.273](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.273) - [Up: c8.s12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.272](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.272) · Pramāṇa
