'''Bhillama II''' (r. c. 985–1005 CE) an able [[Jain]]}} ruler of the [[Seuna (Yadava) dynasty]] of [[Deccan]] region in India. He was a vassal of the [[Chalukyas of Kalyani|Kalyani Chalukya]] ruler [[Tailapa II]], and played an important role in Tailapa's victory against the [[Paramara]] king [[Vakpati Munja|Munja]].

== Early life ==

Bhillama was a son and successor of the Yadava chief Dhadiyasa, who was a [[Rashtrakuta]] feudatory.{{sfn|A. S. Altekar|1960|p=517}} He married the Rashtrakuta princess Lakshmi.{{sfn|T. V. Mahalingam |1957|p=138}} When the [[Chalukyas of Kalyani|Kalyani Chalukya]] chief [[Tailapa II]] overthrew the Rashtrakutas, Bhillama transferred his allegiance to Chalukyas.{{sfn|A. S. Altekar|1960|p=517}}

An inscription of the contemporary [[Shilahara]] ruler [[Aparajita]] states that he granted protection to a king named Bhillama. It is possible that this is a reference to some sort of alliance between Aparajita and Bhillama when they were both Rashtrakuta vassals.{{sfn|A. S. Altekar|1960|p=517}}

== Military career ==

Bhillama appears to have played an important role in [[Chalukyas of Kalyani|Chalukya]]-[[Paramara]] war, which resulted in the defeat and death of the Paramara king [[Vakpati Munja|Munja]]. His 1000 [[Sangamner]] inscription poetically boasts that he thrashed the goddess of prosperity [[Lakshmi]] on the battlefield because she had sided with Munja, and forced her to become an obedient housewife in the palace of the Chalukya king Tailapa.{{sfn|K. A. Nilakanta Sastri|1960|p=322}}

The Chalukya king rewarded Bhillama by adding the present-day [[Ahmednagar district|Ahmednagar]] area to his hereditary fief.{{sfn|A. S. Altekar|1960|p=517}} The Sangamner inscription describes Bhillama as a ''[[Samanta|Maha-samanta]]'' ("great feudatory"), and mentions his epithets ''Pancha-maha-shabada'', ''Aratini-sudana'', ''Kandukacharya'', ''Sellavidega'', and ''Vijayabharana''.{{sfn|T. V. Mahalingam |1957|p=138}}

== Legacy ==

Bhillama erected the Vijayabharneshvara temple at Sangamner.{{sfn|A. S. Altekar|1960|p=517}} He was succeeded by Vesugi, who married Nayilladevi, the daughter of a Chalukya feudatory of Gujarat.{{sfn|A. S. Altekar|1960|p=518}}
