During the initial period of the above written era, it was the 59th year of the rule of a great powerful king of R rak a dynasty named Amoghavar a. In V.N. 1402, Amoghavar a on his own sweet will gave up his vast empire and anointed his son K a-II on the throne. He then spent the rest of his life in service of rama a monks and meditating on the self. The period of the rule of Amoghavar a is estimated at 814-880 A.D. Due to the beginning of next ruler in 875 AD; the year 880 can be 875 as well.
After Amoghavar a, K a-II ruled from 875-912AD. He had a number of struggles with earlier C lukya rules for many years. This king was a very liberal and influential Jain devotee. An example of his vast liberal disposition is available even today in the stone inscription of stone entry gate of Vasati in Bandali. This inscription states that N garakha da Sattara donated to Jakkiyabbe, wife of his s manta N lagumda Sattarasa Ng rjuna the rule of vutav ra and N garakha da at the time of his death as probably he had no child.
