The Early History of the Deccan (Parts I–XI) v2.c13.s5.26

v2.c13.s5.26

Arikesari III Ś. 888, date of Parbhaṇi plates between him and Yuddhamalla I; if we allow twenty-five years on an average to a generation, it is clear that 200 years must have elapsed between the end of the reign of Yuddhamalla I and the beginning of that of Arikesarī III. If we assume that Arikesarī III had been ruling for a period of something like ten years before the date of the Parbhaṇī grant, we get to about A.D. 756 for the close of Yuddhamalla I's reign. As a matter of fact, we have the date A.D. 731 (Ś. 653) for him in the Balsar plates, probably referring to a time when he was still in his original home in the Lāṭa country.
