Madhava Varma II was the most successful ruler of the Vishnukundina dynasty, controlling parts of the Deccan and eastern coast of India in the mid-5th century AD.
[6] he had an epithet- 'Trivara Nagara Bhavnagata Sundari Hridaya Nandana' ( The one who brought happiness to the beautiful maidens living in the buildings of the city of Trivara)[6] After occupying these areas from the Ananda Gotrikas, Madhava Varma II made Amarapura, modern Dharanikota, near the Amaravati Stupa) his capital.
[9] Madhava Varma II appears to have been a powerful warlord, with an army consisting 800 elephants, 1500 cavalry horses, 23 Chariots and many foot soldiers.
[14] [15][16] From Velpuru inscription we learn that he led his army southward across the river Krishna with a view to ecnquer the Guntur region.
It speaks of his presence in military camp at Velpuru probably during the course of a war with the Pallavas, Madhava Varma II extended his kingdom upto Narmada, exterminated the Salankayana Dynasty at Vengi, subjugated the rulers of Pishtapura and Srikakulam and thus expended his kingdom to the eastern sea.
