Satyashraya's victories and achievements ( Satyashray's Victories and Achievements)
Satyashraya was also an ambitious and imperialist ruler like his father. After becoming the king, he started his conquest. First, he defeated the Shilahar dynasty ruler of northern Konkan, Aparajit Mrigank, forced him to take refuge in the sea, burnt Anshunagar and kidnapped 21 elephants of the Shilahar army.
He then turned his attention to Gurjarnresh. His contemporary Gurjaraj was the son of Mulraj Chamundraj (997-1006 AD). The Lakkudi inscriptions of 1007 AD and Rann's 'Gada Yuddha' It shows that Satyasraya defeated the Chalukya Chamundaraja by invading the Gurjara kingdom. As a result of these conquests, the entire land area was included in the Chalukya Empire and the Shilahar rulers became feudatories of the Chalukyas.
Chalukya Dynasty
Clash with Cholas: Satyasraya had to face a fierce attack from the Chola ruler Rajaraja I during his reign. After establishing his supremacy over the entire Deccan and Lanka, the Chola king Rajaraja had captured Gangwadi, Nolambwadi. Thus both Rajaraja in the south and Satyasraya in the north were involved in the expansion of their power. So there was bound to be a conflict between the two. In fact, the main cause of bitterness between the two was the kingdom of Vengi as both wanted to establish their influence in the Andhra region. At this time both the sons of Danarnava-Shaktivarma and Vimaladitya were refugees in Vengi with the Chola king Rajaraja. Finally, in 999-1000 AD, Rajaraja attacked Vengi Jaychod Bhima Deposed Shaktivarma and made him sit on the throne of Vengi. Satyasraya was naturally enraged by the attempt by a Tamil power to encircle the state of Karnataka from the south and east and attacked Vengi.
In response to Satyasraya's attack on Vengi, the Chola ruler Rajaraja sent a large army under the leadership of his son Yuvraj Rajendra to attack the Chalukya territories. Hottur Articles of 1007-008 AD It is known that Prince Rajendra conquered the southern territories of the Chalukya kingdom with a huge army of 9 lakh soldiers, captured the fort of Ukallu (Unkal in Dharwad district) and established a military camp at Donavur (modern Donur in Bijapur district). By defeating the Chalukya king, he not only plundered his immense wealth, but also brutally killed women, children and brahmins etc. This is also confirmed by the Tanjore article of Rajaraj and the writings of Rajendra.
The Tanjore article states that the property hijacked from the Chalukyas was dedicated to the temple of Tanjore. Rajendra's early writings also state that he captured Idithurai-Nadu (Raichur Doab), Banavasi (capital of the Kadambas), Kollipake (Kulapaks north of modern Hyderabad) and Mannaikkadakam (Manyakhet) with the help of his huge army. took. This decisive struggle probably took place at a place called Tavareyghatta. Thus, as a result of this defeat of Satyasraya, many cities of the Chalukyas, including Manyakheta as their capital, came under the control of the Cholas.
Chalukya Dynasty of Badami:Early Rulers
But Satyashraya was not disheartened by his defeat. After accumulating power, he once again waged a war against the Cholas and killed the Chola general Chanderin in the battle. After this he defeated the Chola Rajaraja and drove him back and hijacked the property of the Cholas. After this Satyashraya campaigned against his southern neighbors and extended his kingdom up to the modern Kurnool and Guntur districts of Andhra state. This is confirmed by the Bapatal article of 1006 AD.
Conflict with Parmar and Kalachuris: Along with the Cholas, Satyasraya had to be defeated by the Paramara ruler Sindhuraj and the Kalachuri Kokalla. Tailap II defeated Parmar Munj and conquered many territories of the Paramaras. After Munj, his younger brother Sindhuraj attacked Satyashray as soon as he got the opportunity and recaptured the territories hijacked by Tailap. Probably being busy in the south, Satyashraya could not pay attention to it.
Kokal II, the Kalachuri ruler of Tripuri, also claimed to have defeated the Pratihara governor, Gaur Mahipala and Kuntaladhipati, and forced the king of Kuntala into exile. 'Banavas' refers to Banavasi who was situated in Chalukya kingdom and 'Kuntaladhipati' It was probably truthfulness. Thus Satyashraya had to be defeated by the Kalachuris.
Satyashray Ke Samant: Among the feudatories of Satyashray, the names of the rulers of Banavasi, Bhimras and the rulers of Purigire, Shobhanaras and Kundamaras and the Shilahar dynasty ruler Rattaraj of Konkan are found. Among them Kundamaras was the most important and powerful. Some historians consider it to be the son of Satyasraya, who was deposed by Vikramaditya Pancham and attained power. But this view is not acceptable. Mahadevi, daughter of Satyashray She was married to Irivano Lambadhiraja, the Pallava ruler of Nolamb. Alur articles of Vikramaditya to Mahadevi She is said to be Tailap's granddaughter, Satyashraya's daughter and Vikramaditya's sister (Tagme).
Satyashraya was a follower of Jainism and its guru Vimalchandra He was a famous scholar of Jain philosophy. He was also a generous patron of scholars. Kannada Poetry 'Gadayudha' Author of Runn were dependent on it. Satyashraya ruled till about 1008 AD.

Vikramaditya V, 1008-1015 AD (Vikramaditya V, 1008-1015 AD.)
After the death of Satyashraya, his brother Dasvarma's eldest son (nephew) Vikramaditya V ascended the Chalukya throne in 1008 AD. Dashavarma had two other sons, Ayyan II and Jai Singh II. It is not correct to believe that Vikramaditya V succeeded Satyasraya's son Kandamaras and ascended the throne as the fact that Kandamaras was Satyasraya's son is doubtful. In any case, Vikramaditya V ruled for only six or seven years and 'Tribhuvanamalla ’ and ‘Vallabhanendra ' had the titles.
The Kautham inscription is the first inscription from the reign of Vikramaditya to describe him as a successful and charitable ruler. Although there is no knowledge of its specific achievements, but its general, Keshavjiya, claims to have conquered Kosala (Dakshina Kosala). The ruler of Kosala may have been Somvanshi Bhimaratha Mahabhavgupta II.
In the time of Vikramaditya, the Kundamaras were the Banavasis and Shantilage's supraja, while the Dandanayakas were the feudatories of Belvola and Purigire. According to an inscription dated 1010 AD, his sister Akkadevi , was ruling Kisukad. Akkadevi as 'incarnation of Lakshmi It is said that he had given charity to Brahmins on many virtuous occasions. Vikramaditya ruled till 1015 AD.
Ayyan II, 1015 AD. (Ayyan II, 1015 AD.)
After the death of Vikramaditya V in 1015 AD, his successor Ayyan II ascended the Chalukya throne. He ruled only for a month or two. Haven't found any articles on this yet. In the writings of Jai Singh II, its initial date is known only in 1015 AD.
Jaisingh II, 1015-1042 AD. (Jai Singh II, 1015-1042 AD.)
Vikramaditya's brother Jayasimha II (Sinhadeva) ascended the Chalukya throne in 1015 AD after the short reign of Ayyan II. She wrote 'Singdev', ' Jagdekamall', ' Trailokmall', ' Mallikamod' and 'Vikram Singh ’ etc. had assumed titles.
Jai Singh's Victories and Achievements
Jaisingh had to engage in constant struggles during his reign. A few years after his accession, Parmar Bhoja, Kalachuri Gangeydev and Chola Rajendra formed a union and started campaigns against Jai Singh from different directions. Jai Singh has claimed to have defeated all these enemies and driven them out of his kingdom.
Invasion of the Parmars: Since the time of Tailap II, the Paramaras had been hostile to the Chalukyas. It is known that around 1020 AD, the Parmara ruler Bhoja captured some of the northern territories of the Chalukyas and celebrated the victory of northern Konkan. It is known from the Kulvan copperplates and Bhojcharita of Yashovarma, the feudatories of Bhoja, that Bhoja had conquered the Karnat, Lat and Konkan. Bhoj's writings from 1020 AD or later show that he had donated to the Brahmins who came from Badami and Manyakhet. It is clear from these evidences that Parmara Bhoja defeated Chalukya Jai Singh and occupied the northern parts of the Chalukya kingdom.
But Bhoj's success could not last. In the Belgaum grant letter of 1019 AD, Jai Singh's title 'Nripatibhojkamalchandra ' and he is said to be the conqueror of the Saptmalvas and the destroyer of their pride. According to the Miraj copperplates of 1024 AD, Jai Singh II defeated Parmar Bhoj and established his military camp near Kolhapur after capturing the Konkan kingdom. His ally Kadambavanshi Chattagi (Chatta) drove the Malwa ruler away and bathed in Gautam Gange (Godavari) water. Pleased with Chattagi's services, Jai Singh called him 'Adhityakapal' was honored with the title of Kundamaras, the second general of Jai Singh, is also said to have crushed Bhoj's elephants. Thus Chalukya Jai Singh was soon successful in liberating the Chalukya territories occupied by Bhoja with the help of his feudatories.
War with the Cholas: The biggest enemy of Jai Singh II was Rajendra Chola. There were many reasons for this Chalukya-Chol conflict. On the one hand, after his ascension, Jai Singh tried to take control of the provinces that had gone under the control of the Cholas during the time of Satyasraya. Secondly, for the throne of Vengi, Vimaladitya's son born to the Chola princess Kundavaidevi RajarajaNarendra and stepson Vijayaditya There was a power struggle going on between the seventh. Both the Chalukya-Cholas wanted to expand their influence in Andhra under the pretext of Vengi.
The struggle began when Jayasimha took advantage of Rajendra Chola's preoccupation in the south and not only took back the Raichur Doab on the pretext of helping Vijayaditya VII, but also crossed the Tungabhadra to the south. He established his dominion up to Bellary and possibly in Gangwadi. The deposed Rajaraja Narendra ran away and pleaded for help from the Cholas.
After dealing with the south, Rajendra Chola sent two armies—one marched towards Gangavadi, Nolambwadi and Idaithuraivadu (Raichur Doab) and the other at Vengi to assist Rajaraja.

Chalukya Dynasty of Kalyani or Western Chalukya Part-1
Rajendra Chola's 1021 AD State Tamil Prashasti states that he defeated Jaisingh in the battle of Musanki (Maski) and drove him north of Tungabhadra, his seven and a half lakh hijacked the treasury and took possession of Pattapadi. In the Tiruvalangadu article also, Rajendra I was named destroyer of the Tail dynasty Having said. In several Tamil and Kannada inscriptions of 1022 AD, obtained from Kotshivaram in Anantapur district, a Chola general was referred to as 'Jaisinghkulakal ' Having said. From these sources it seems that there were many wars between the Chalukyas and the Cholas in the regions of Mushangi, Ganga and Vengi, in which Jai Singh had to flee after being defeated and Rajaraja Narendra got the throne of Vengi.
But the Miraj copperplates show that before 1024 AD, the Chalukya Jayasimha not only drove the Cholas out of the Chalukya kingdom, but also followed Rajendra Chola to the Gangwadi and Chera kingdoms. did too. In Belgaum article, Jaisingh was named 'Singh for Rajendracholarupi Raj ' Having said. Chavanaras, the commander of Chalukyaraj Jai Singh, was called 'Valeyapattan Destroyer' and 'breaking the pride of Vijewad's fort It's been mentioned.
In 1031 AD, Vijayaditya, with the help of Chalukya king Jai Singh II, overthrew Rajaraja and took the throne of Vengi himself and assumed the title of Vishnuvardhana Vijayaditya VII. But after 4 years, with the help of Cholanaresh Rajendra I, Rajaraja defeated Vijayaditya and regained the throne of Vengi. Running away from this defeat, Vijayaditya took refuge in the Chalukya court, where he was treated royally. Later the Chalukyas and the Cholas seem to have mutually agreed to accept the Tungabhadra river as the boundary line.
After 1023 AD, although Jaisingh ruled for about 20 years, no specific event is known during this reign. Jai Singh's powerful feudal lord Bijjaras was ruling in Santalige. बिज्जरस को सेउण के यादव भिल्लम तृतीय, चट्टुग की पराजय, भट्ट के अधिग्रहण, तथा पट्ठरालि एवं तोरगले की विजय का श्रेय दिया गया है।
जयसिंह द्वितीय की पुत्री हम्मा अथवा आवल्लदेवी का विवाह भिल्लम तृतीय के साथ happened. भिल्लम तृतीय 1025 ई. में अपने पैतृक राज्य पर शासन कर रहा था। इसकी राजधानी सिंदिनगर (सिन्नार) थी। जयसिंह की बहिन अक्कादेवी अपने पति मयूरवर्मादेव के साथ बनवासी, बेलवोल तथा पेलिगिरे में शासन कर रही थी। वह युद्ध में भैरवी के समान शौर्य प्रदर्शित करती थी।
इस प्रकार जयसिंह द्वितीय के समय चालुक्य साम्राज्य में दक्षिण में वर्तमान शिमोगा, तंगपुर, अनंतपुर तथा कडप्पा शामिल थे। इसकी पूर्वी सीमा का विस्तार हैदराबाद के उत्तर-पश्चिम कुलपक तक हो गया था। 1028 ई. तथा इसके बाद के अनेक लेखों से पता चलता है कि चालुक्यों की राजधानी अभी मान्यखेट ही थी क्योंकि चोल लेखों में मान्यखेट का उल्लेख तो है किंतु कल्याणी का कोई संकेत नहीं मिलता है।
जयसिंह की दो रानियों का उल्लेख मिलता है- सुग्गलदेवी और देवलदेवी , संभवतः सुग्गलदेवी ने 1029 ई. के एक लेख में पाशुपताचार्य ब्रह्मर्षि पंडित को दान दिया था। बसव पुराण के अनुसार सुग्गलदेवी के करण ही जयसिंह ने जैनधर्म छोड़कर शैवधर्म अपना लिया था। उसकी दूसरी पत्नी देवलदेवी नोलंब राजकुमारी Was. जयसिंह द्वितीय ने 1042 ई. तक शासन किया।
