Gunaga Vijayaditya III (848 – 892 AD) was the most powerful king of the Vengi kingdom.[1] His military victories brought a large portion of the Deccan under his control. He was a valuable ally of the Rashtrakuta emperor Amoghavarsha I, and after Amoghavarsha's death, he proclaimed independence. He took several titles like Gunaga, Gunage-Nallata, Parachakra Rama, Vallabha, etc.[2][3]
