v2.c15.s1.7

Bēta I was succeeded by his son Prōla who is said to have subdued a number of chiefs hostile to his overlord and to have acquired the hereditary rulership of Anumakoṇḍa-vishaya from Sōmēśvara I; to have ‘straightened’ the Chakrakūṭa-vishaya, that is Chakrakōṭ in Bastar, restored order after taking it from his enemies; to have subjugated the Koṅkaṇa-maṇḍala, put to flight Bhadraṅga; conquered the son (not named) of Dugga of Kāḍparti, driving him into the forests; and killed in battle Gonna, the chief of Purukūṭa. Prōla’s victory over these chiefs was perhaps his earliest achievement, after which by the acquisition of the hereditary rulership of the Anumakoṇḍa-vishaya he laid the foundation of a new principality which was destined to extend during the next century over the whole of the Āndhra country.
