Background[edit source]
According to Bhillama's Gadag inscription, he was a son of Karna, and a grandson of the Yadava ruler Mallugi. The 13th century Yadava court poet Hemadri gives a different genealogy for him, but Hemadri's account may be dismissed as unreliable, since he flourished a century after Bhillama.[2]
The Yadavas were originally vassals of the Chalukyas of Kalyani. By Mallugi's time, the Chalukya power had weakened, and Mallugi was fighting with the other Chalukya feudatories, such as the Kakatiyas. After Mallugi, his elder son Amara-gangeya and Amara-gangeya's son Amara-mallugi ruled in quick succession. Their rule was followed by Kaliya-Ballala, who was probably an usurper, and whose relation to Mallugi is unknown.[2] Bhillama's father Karna, the younger son of Mallugi, was probably a subordinate officer or a sub-feudatory.[3]
During the chaotic period following Mallugi's death, Bhillama created a principality for himself by capturing several forts in the Konkan and surrounding regions. First, he defeated the rulers of Srivardhana and Pratyanta-gada (modern Torna). Next, he defeated and killed the ruler of Mangalaveshtaka (modern Mangalwedha).[4] Around 1175 CE, Bhillama grabbed power at the Yadava capital Sinnar, and ascended the throne.[2]
Prelude[edit source]
By the 1260s, the southern Hoysala kingdom was split into two parts. The northern part was ruled by Narasimha III.[5]Around 1266, Mahadeva, a king from another kingdom, attacked Narasimha's territory. Some inscriptions in the Hoysala area, like those in Chitradurga district, show that the Yadavas had some influence there.[6] However, Mahadeva's invasion failed, and he had to retreat. Two Hoysala records say that Mahadeva underestimated Narasimha's strength.[7] He entered the battlefield proudly on an elephant but was defeated and had to escape on a horse at night. His general Balugideva Saluva was killed in this conflict.[8][9][10]
