The Dynasties of the Kanarese Districts of the Bombay Presidency from the Earliest Historical Times to the Musalman Conquest c8.s5.21

c8.s5.21

The Paṇḍit’s translation is:—“Whose wife was the daughter of king Jhañjha Lasthiyavvâ by name, possessed of the (three) good qualities of virtue, liberality, and the grant as having struck a blow against the power of Muñja and rendered the sovereign authority of Raṇaraṅgabhīma firm seems also to be he himself. Raṇaraṅgabhīma was probably Tailapa, and thus it follows that the Yâdava prince Bhillama II. assisted Tailapa in his war with Muñja which we have already noticed. Vaddiga was a follower of Kṛishṇa III. of the Râshṭrakûṭa family, whose latest known date is 881 Śaka, and Bhillama II. of Tailapa. The date 922 Śaka of Bhillama’s grant is consistent with these facts. The Yâdavas appear thus to have transferred their allegiance from the old to the new dynasty of paramount sovereigns as soon as it rose to power. The next king was Vesugi¹ called in Paṇḍit Bhagavânlâl’s grant Tesuka, which is a mistake or misreading for Vesuka or Vesuga. He married Nâyaladevī, the daughter of Gogi, who is styled a feudatory of the Châlukya family,² and was perhaps the same as the successor of the Thânâ prince Jhañjha. The Râshṭrakûṭas must have been overthrown by the Châlukyas about the end of Jhañjha’s reign, and thus his successor became a feudatory of the Châlukyas.
