edict, which was composed by Vakula, the scribe.-(Ghumli Plates, EI, XXVI, 212 fl.)
Calukya Mahāsāmanta Avanivarman I was succeeded by his son Balavarman.
Two records from Gwalior (Gopadri) are dated in the month of Vaisakha V. S. 932 (876 A.D.), and Magha Šukla dvitiya, V S. 933, respectively. The first one of the time of Adivaråha (Bhojadeva) (EI, I, p. 156), refers to Nagara Bhaṭṭakumāra of the Varjjāra family, originally from Anandapura in the Lata province, and mentions the appointment of Väillabhatta as Warden of Marches (g) by Ramadeva (evidently Rámabhadra ), and his son Alla, who succeeded him in that office to the guardianship of Gopådri (Gwalior) by Adivaraha. It further refers to the construction of a Visņu temple by. Alla, which was consecrated in the Vikrama year 932 (876 A.D.).
The other record from Gwalior dated in the V. S. 933 (877 A.D.) and of the time of the Pratihära Parmeśvara Bhojadeva, (EI, I, p. 159) records four donations to the two temples which had been built by Alla, the son of Vaillabhaṭṭa, called in this record the guardian of the fort (g) of Gopådri (Gwalior ). The donee of the first record (875 A.D., EI, I, p. 159: Cunningham ASR, II, 332) was the Navadurga temple, situated beyond the Vriścikā river (probably another name of the river Suvarṇarekhā), while the donees of the three remaining grants were the Navadurga temple of the earlier record, and the Visnu temple called Väillabhaṭṭasvamin. The donors of these four endowments were the inhabitants of the place (Sthana). The inscription also furnishes material, dealing with the economic life of the period. --(Baij Nath Puri (The History of the Gurjara-Pratihāras, p. 53).

The grant describes him as having put an end to the arrogance of Lata. - Deoli Grant of Krsna III).
