Bilhaṇa refers to the assistance, which in his reign his son prince Vikramāditya rendered to the \*Mālavendra\* who came to him for protection, to regain his kingdom.³ The Sitabaldi stone inscription dated in 1108 Ś. (A.D. 1087) seems to show that the hostilities between the two dynasties continued during the reign of Vikramāditya VI (\*c.\* 1055-1126 A.D.).¹ As the \*Mahāsāmanta\* Dhāḍibhaṁḍaka of the \*Mahārāṣṭrakūṭa\* lineage, who ruled round the present Nagpur, owed allegiance to the Cāḷukya king, it is certain that the Kalacuri power in A.D. 1087 had been driven out from the headwaters of the Wainganga, Warda, and Tapti into the Mahadeo hills. It was probably during these northern expeditions of the Cāḷukyas that the Nāgavaṁśī rulers of Bastar were established in the C. P. These rulers claim to belong to the Nāgavaṁśa and the Kāśyapa \*gotra\*, to have a tiger and a calf as their crest, and to be the lords of Bhogavatī the best of the cities (\*Nāgavaṁśodbhava-Bhogavatī-pura-vareśvara-sa-vatsa-vyāghra-lāñchana-Kāśyapa-gotra\*). At the end of some of their inscriptions occur the figures of the sun, the moon, a cow and a calf, a dagger and shield, and a \*liṅga\* in its socket 'exactly of the shape in which \*Liṅgāyats\* wear them.' The dates on their records run from \*c.\* Śaka 1033 to 1147 (\*c.\* A.D. 1111 to 1224). They are evidently connected with the Nāgavaṁśī Sindas of Belgutti (Belagavatti = Bhogavati in Honnali Taluq of the Shimoga District, Mysore), who appear as feudatories of the Cāḷukyas of Kalyani, at the end of the 10th and the first half of the 12th century A.D.² - [Previous: v2.c29.s2.154](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c29.s2.154) - [Next: v2.c29.s2.156](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c29.s2.156) - [Up: v2.c29.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c29.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c29.s2.155](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c29.s2.155) · Pramāṇa
