He had two sons, who in turn succeeded to the throne. The elder, Bhūvikrama, was a great warrior, whose chest was marked with the scars of wounds inflicted in battle by the tusks of elephants. He defeated the Pallava king (Narasimha-pōtavarmma) in a great battle at Vilanda, and is said to have captured the whole of the Pallava dominions. Some other details are given in Md 113 and Tm 23. On account of his successes in war he received the title Śrīvallabha, and in Sr 160 is called Dugga. He made Mankunda (Channapaṭṇa tāluq) the royal residence. From Md 113 we obtain the date 670 for the end of his reign.
