Source: What is India: Epigraphia Indica volume XXXI (1955-56)Yuddhamalla II (r. 933 A.D.) (also known as Mallapa) is the name of an ancient king mentioned in the “Māṅgallu grant of Amma II” (c. 945 A.D.). In 933-34 A.D. Yuddhamalla II was overthrown by Cālukya Bhīma III, an achievement which made the admirers of the court hail him as ‘the purifier of the east’ and as ‘the expeller of the darkness in the form of Rāṣṭrakūṭa troops.’ Yuddhamalla who seems to have depended on the Rāṣṭrakūṭas, apparently died fighting, and his two sons, Bāḍapa and Tālapa (Tāla II Viṣṇuvardhana), had to flee to the Rāṣṭrakūṭa court.
These copper plates (mentioning Yuddhamalla) were dug up somewhere in the Nandigama Taluk, Krishna District. It records the gift, at the instance of a feudatory chief named Kākatya Guṇḍyana, of the village of Māṅgallu in favour of a Brāhmaṇa named Dommana.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
