The Sirûr inscription claims that worship was done to him by the kings of Aṅga, Vaṅga, Magadha, Mâlava, and Veṅgî. As regards Aṅga, Vaṅga, and Magadha, — places which lay very far to the east, in the direction of Bengal, — the assertion is doubtless hyperbolical. But no particular objection need be raised in the case of Mâlava; and none at all in respect of Veṅgî. During the whole of this period there were constant wars, with varying success on both sides, between the Râshtrakûṭas and the Eastern Chalukyas of Veṅgî. We have already seen that Gôvinda III. made the lord of Veṅgî, i. e. Narêndramrigarâja-Vijayâditya II., come and help to fortify a town. And the Sâṅglî grant, of A. D. 933, states that Amôghavarsha I. conquered the Chalukyas, — i. e. the Veṅgî branch of the family, — at a place named Viṅgavalli; and the Karḍâ grant, of A. D. 972, describes him as having been "a fire of destruction to the Châlukyas." The latter record, and the Dêôlî grant of A. D. 940, say also that it was he - [Previous: c8.s13.194](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13.194) - [Next: c8.s13.196](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13.196) - [Up: c8.s13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13.195](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13.195) · Pramāṇa
