The successor of Khoṭṭiga was Nirupama's son Kakka II., whose name appears in the family records in the forms of Kakka and Kakkala,³ and elsewhere as Karkara⁴ and Kakkara.⁵ He had the special *birudas* of Amōghavarsha and Nṛipatunga; and the minor ones of Vīra-Nārāyaṇa, "a very Nārāyaṇa (Vishṇu) among heroes," and Rāja-Triṇētra, "a very Triṇētra (Śiva) among kings." His titles were the customary ones of *Mahārājādhirāja*, *Paramēśvara*, and *Paramabhaṭṭāraka*. And his epithets were *prithivīvallabha* and *vallabhanarēndradēva*. The Karḍā grant describes him as a *paramamāhēśvara* or most devout worshipper of the god Mahēśvara (Śiva); and it mentions Mālkheḍ as his permanent capital. The same record also claims that he conquered the Gurjaras, the Chōḷas, the Hūṇas, and the Pāṇḍyas. The recorded dates that we have for him are in September, A. D. 972, and June, A. D. 973.
