Old Kannada inscription dated c.1068 AD of Western Chalukya King Bhuvanaikamalla Someshvara II

Someshvara II (IAST: Someśvara; r. 1068 – 1076 CE) who was administering the area around Gadag succeeded his father Someshvara I (Ahavamalla) as the Western Chalukya king. He was the eldest son of Someshvara I. During his reign Someshvara II was constantly under threat from his more ambitious younger brother Vikramaditya VI.

Around 1070 AD Someshvara II expanded his empire and brought Malava under his control.[1]
