User:Jaykul72/Yadava Kingdoms

Sevuna Dynasty of Devagiri ( 860 - 1317 C.E ) was a dynasty in the Western India they were from Yadava lineage. They were feudatories of Western Chalukyas during the initial years. Famous Kings of Yadavas of Devagiri are Dridhaprahara (c. 860-880), Bhillama V, Simhana II, Bhillama II, Bhillama III, Seunachandra II. The dynasty likely emerged from a Kannada-speaking background. At its peak the kingdom stretched from the Narmada river in the north to the Tungabhadra river in the south, in the western part of the Deccan region. Its territory included present-day Maharashtra, North Karnataka and parts of Madhya Pradesh. Around five hundred Yadava inscriptions have been discovered, and Kannada is the most common language of these inscriptions, followed by Sanskrit. The Yadavas were the first major dynasty to use Marathi as an official language. Earlier, both Sanskrit and Kannada had been used for official inscriptions in present-day Maharashtra; subsequently, at least partly due to the efforts of the Yadava rulers, Marathi became the dominant official language of the region.
