Vesugi I also referred as Vesu, Tesuka and Irammadeva is the ninth ruler of Seuna (Yadava) dynasty.[2] Like his father Bhillama II he was a fedutaroy of Chalukyas. He was succeeded by his son Bhillama III.[3]
Etymology
[edit]As far as the nomenclature is concerned, there are different names of Vesugi, like the princes of the house, which differ according to the inscriptions. For example, it is mentioned in the Kalas-Budruk inscription of his son, Bhillama III, that it was Vesu. In Hemadri's prasasti, it appears to be Vesusi. The document of the Bassein plate lists the name as Tesuka, probably a mistake of an engraver.[2] This is shown in the Aavi record of Arimandadeva, which is more or less a copy of the Bassein grant with certain modifications. In the Aavi record, however, the name is Vesuka, showing that the first letter is "V" and not "T".[2]
Marriage
[edit]The Bassein grant states that Vesugi marries Naiyalla, whom he calls the daughter of Goggiraja.[2] Goggiraja is the same prince of that name-the son of the Chaulukya ruler Barappa of the Lata region.[2][3]
Millitary Career
[edit]Vesugi is said to have had a distinguished military career, though the specific details are vague and mostly on inference.[3] But considering the above suggestion, it can be assumed that Vesugi may have supported his overlord, Jayasimha Chalukya, in his conflicts with the Paramaras.[2]
