In A.D. 973-74, he was overthrown by the Western Châlukya Taila II.; and the dominions of the Râshṭrakûṭas then passed into the hands of descendants of the same stock to which belonged the kings from whom they themselves had acquired them. The exact time is fixed by a verse which tells us that, having plucked up and destroyed the Rattas,—having killed a king named Muñja,—having taken the head of Pañchala, in battle,—and having possessed himself of the regal dignity of the Châlukyas,—Taila II. reigned for twenty-four years, beginning with the year Śrîmukha.² As we have already seen, the Śrîmukha \*saṃvatsara\* was Śaka-Saṃvat 896 current, \*i.e.\* A. D. 973-74. And the success of Taila II. is probably to be placed soon after the end of June, A. D. 973, in which month falls apparently one of the recorded dates for Kakka II. - [Previous: c8.s13.393](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13.393) - [Next: c8.s13.395](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13.395) - [Up: c8.s13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13.394](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13.394) · Pramāṇa
