Vallabhā.—A South Indian tribe. Their ruler is described in the Chronicles simply as the Vallabha. Mānavamma once joined Narasiha against the Vallabha king and defeated him.¹ On another occasion, the Vallabha king sent a force to subdue Nāgadipa in the reign of Mahinda IV. The latter sent an army under the general Sena, defeated the Vallabhas and made a friendly treaty with them.²
