8. While these Chaulukyas were struggling in Lat and Gujarat, the descendants of Tailap were engaged in deadly war with the Kadambas, Gangas and Pallavas of Southern India. Not only this we find skirmish between Eastern (Bengi) and Western (Vata pi) Chaulukyas during the time of Rajaraja (Raji) and Tribhuvanmal Vikramaditya.

His eagerness to defend Vikramaditya and silence regarding the causes of their dispute clearly indicate that responsibility for the war lies upon Vikramaditya.
