Krishna II (878 - 914) C.E. succeeded Amoghavarsha I, subsequent to his demise. In Kannada, he was named Kannara. Mahadevi, his queen was a Haihaya princess of Chedi. Taking into account, the chronology of writings mentioning the name of this king, it was apparent that Krishna II had possibly commenced his statute even during the lifetime of his father. Krishna II`s reign proved to be productive for literature, although in the affairs of extension of the empire, his supremacy was assorted.
