INTRODUCTION
lhe Andhra country, lying between the Kistna
and the Godavari, played an important role in the,
early history of India.
It
formed a part
of
the kingdom
of the Mauryas. The Satavahanas held sway over
it for
a
long time. After the Satavabanas the country
was
ruled
by the Ik$valms, Brhatphalayanas,
~alanka:
..
yanas, Pallavas, and the
Vi~IJ.ukm;igins
in
succession.
The
Vi~17ukui;qins
were supplanted by the Eastern
Calukyas in
A. D. 615.
The early history of the
Andhra country is the history of the rise and
fall
of
all these dynasties.
The book has been divided into nine chapters.
The
first chapter deals with the origin of the Eastern
Calukyas. Chapters from two to five narrate their
political history from the early time till their occupation
of the Cola country. Needless to mention that though the
kmgs of this dynasty from Kulotturiga-Cola I to
Rajendra-Cola III prefened to call themselves Colas
they carried pure Eastern Calukya blood in their veins.
Hence, in order to complete the history
of
the Eastern
Calukyas, all that is known about their political
achievem.ent in the Cola country have been included in
chapters
six and
seven. The chapter· eight discusses
t.P.e
administrative and cultural attainments of the Eastern
Calukyas in the Andhra country. The
last
chapter
