v2.c14.27

³ The Śilāhāra ruler Aparājitadeva (A.D. 975-1010) claims to have afforded protection to a king named Bhillama, who seems to be the contemporary Yādava ruler. Aparājitadeva was a partisan of the Rāṣṭrakūṭas while Bhillama was an adherent of the Cālukyas; it is therefore difficult to conjecture how the former could have helped the latter. Perhaps the statement refers to some alliance between the two at the time when both were feudatories of the Rāṣṭrakūṭas.
