Note 21 — Chapter XI · THE RÁSHṬRAKÚṬAS (a.d. 743–974.)

Akálavarsha-Kṛishṇa, a.d. 888.The next and last known Gujarát Ráshṭrakúṭa king is Akálavarsha-Kṛishṇa son of Dantivarmman. A grant of this king has been found in Bagumrá dated Śaka 810 (a.d. 888).21 The composition of the grant is so bad and the genealogical verses after Karka are so confused that it seems unsafe to accept any of Chapter XI. The Ráshṭrakúṭas, a.d. 743–974. Akálavarsha-Kṛishṇa, a.d. 888. its details except its date which is clearly Śaka 810 (a.d. 888). It seems also improbable that the son of Dantivarmman who flourished in Śaka 734 (a.d. 812) could be reigning in Śaka 810 (a.d. 888) seventy-six years later. Still the sixty-three years’ reign of the contemporary Mányakheṭa Ráshṭrakúṭa Amoghavarsha (Ś. 736–799, a.d. 814–877) shows that this is not impossible.
