Taila II. was succeeded, probably towards the end of A. D. 997, by his eldest son Satyâśraya, whose name appears also as Sattiga and Sattima,⁶ and who had the birudas of Akalaṅkacharita, "of spotless behaviour," and Irivabedanga or Irivabedenga, "a wonder among those who pierce (their foes)." Of his time, we have nine records. Eight of them expressly mention him as the reigning king; and these are, — an inscription at Gadag in the Dhârwâr District,⁷ dated in the month Chaitra (March-April), falling in A. D. 1002, of the Subhakrit saṁvatsara, coupled with Śaka-Saṁvat 924 (expired);⁸ while his feudatory, the Mahâsâmanta Sôbhanarasa, was governing the Belvola three-hundred, — which was the country round Gadag, Aṇṇigere, Kurtakôṭi, and Nargund in Dhârwâr, Hûli in Belgaum, and Kukkanûr in the Nizâm's Dominions, — together with the Puligere or Lakshmêshwar three-hundred, the Kundûr five-hundred, and the Kukkanûr thirty; an inscription at Tumbige in the Bijâpur District,⁹ dated in the Krôdhin saṁvatsara, Ś.-S. 926 (expired), = A. D. 1004.
