But internal dissensions consequent on the rise of the Lingāyata creed and the assassination of Vijjaṇa considerably weakened the power of the Kalachuris, and about the \*Śaka\* year 1104 Someśvara, the son of Nurmaḍi Taila, succeeded in wresting a considerable portion of the hereditary dominions of his family, and established himself at Annigeri. He owed his restoration to power to the valour and devoted attachment of a feudatory of his family named Brahma or Bomma, who fought several battles with the enemies of his master and is said to have conquered sixty elephants by means of a single one.⁴ Bomma is represented in an inscription at Annigeri dated \*Śaka\* 1106 to have destroyed the Kalachuris and restored the Châlukyas to the throne.⁵ But a short time after, the Yâdavas of the south rose under Vīra Ballāḷa and of the north under Bhillama. They both fought with Bomma; but success at first attended the arms of Vīra Ballāḷa, who subdued the Châlukya general and put an end to the power of the dynasty.⁶ We lose trace of Vīra Soma or Someśvara IV. after \*Śaka\* 1111. - [Previous: c8.s3.582](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.582) - [Next: c8.s3.584](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.584) - [Up: c8.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.583](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.583) · Pramāṇa
