Durgaraju was succeeded by his brother Prola-II. His military achievements are mentioned in the Anumakonda Thousand Pillar Temple epigraph of his son Rudradeva. Prola-II supported Someshwara-III to seize the Kalyani Chalukyan throne. Tailava and his feudatories Medaraja of Polavasa and Gundaraju of Manthena were defeated by Prola-II. But, unfortunately, Prola-II lost his life at the hands of Velanatichola King’s general, Inagala Brahmi Reddi. So, under these conditions, Prola’s son Rudradeva came into power in 1158 CE. He declared his sovereign power in the year 1163 CE.
