Etymology

The true and original name of this ruler is unknown. Hemadri calls him Dhadiyasa, which is perhaps a corrupted version of Dridhayasas, which is a descriptive title rather than a proper name. But Hemadri is a later writer, and many names written by him appear to have been altered. In contrast, grants discovered at Samgamner and Kalas-Budruk identify the prince as Dhadiyappa, which is further misspelled as Vadiyappa in the Bassein record. The name Dhadiyappa is likely a corruption of Dridhaprahara. Linguistically, the two names are closely connected, suggesting that the prince may have been named after his grandfather. [3]

Millitary Career

Unfortunately, there is no information available about the military achievements of this ruler. It appears that he was a contemporary, or slightly later contemporary, of Krishna II, whose latest known date is 912 CE. Krishna II is believed to have died approximately ten years later. As mentioned earlier, Krishna II defeated and overthrew the Gujarat Rashtrakuta dynasty, an event that likely occurred toward the end of the 9th century CE. [3] It is possible that a Yadava prince, whose kingdom bordered Gujarat to the south and southeast, may have played a role in this conflict to support his overlord. However, there is no evidence to confirm this hypothesis. [3]
