completed by Mallugi's son Bhillama. He captured a town of the name of Śrîvardhana from a king who is called Antala, vanquished in battle the king of Pratyandaka, put to death the ruler of Mangalveshtaka, (Mangalvedhem), of the name of Villana, and having obtained the sovereignty of Kalyâna, put to death the lord of Hosala who was probbaly the Hoysala-Yâdava Narasimha, the father of Vîra Ballâla.¹ The commander of his elephants was Jahla, the brother of Mahîdhara, and he is represented to have rendered Bhillama's power firm. He led a maddened elephant skilfully into the army of the Gûrjara king, struck terror into the heart of Malla, frightened the forces of Mallugi, and put an end to the victorious career of Muñja and Anna.² When in this manner Bhillama made himself master of the whole country to the north of the Krishnâ, he founded the city of Devagiri³ and having got himself crowned, made that city his capital. This took place about the Śaka year 1109.
