Part 4 - Dora II (A.D. 1190-1199)
Son of Pota I by Rajembika, Dora II ascended the Chagi throne in A.D. 1190. He extended the bounds of his kingdom, transferred his capital to Vijayadadia and is said to have ruled over the Chagi kingdom for fifteen years. His earliest inscription mentions him as Chagi Dorayaxajulu. The next inscription of the reign is dated A.D. 1187 issued by his son Pota. In this, Dora bore the epithets—Natavativishayadhisvara and Tyagiraja. Dora is mentioned simply as king Tyagi in Pota’s record of A.D. 1199. He improved the Natavadi-kingdom. His rule must have lasted up to A.D. 1204 i.e. fifteen years from A.D. 1190.
His Political Relations
Dora alias Tyagi must have come into conflict with the local rulers in Vengi in extending his kingdom. He must have taken advantage of the growing weakness of the Velanandu kingdom under Prithvisvara.
