Note 6 — Chapter XI · THE RÁSHṬRAKÚṬAS (a.d. 743–974.)

Kṛishṇa and Govinda II. a.d. 765–795.From this it follows that, so far as is known, the Ráshṭrakúṭa conquest of Gujarát begins with Dantidurga’s conquest of Láṭa, that is South Gujarát between the Mahí and the Narbadá, from the Gurjjara king Jayabhaṭa whose latest known date is a.d. 736 or seventeen years before the known date of Dantidurga. The Gurjjaras probably retired to the Rájpipla hills and further east on the confines of Málwa where they may have held a lingering sway.6 No Gujarát event of importance is recorded during the reign of Kṛishṇa (a.d. 765) or of his son Govinda II. (a.d. 780) who about Chapter XI. The Ráshṭrakúṭas, a.d. 743–974. Kṛishṇa and Govinda II. a.d. 765–795. a.d. 795 was superseded by his powerful younger brother Dhruva.7
