A.D. 768, March 23. Talagaon C. P. grant of this date. Rāshtrakūṭa Krishna I reigning. His son Gōvinda is mentioned. This record shews that his nephew and predecessor (as sovereign) Dantidurga must have died before this date; and, as the latter left no heir, his uncle Krishna I succeeded to his dignities,—dignities which Dantidurga had increased to a kingdom. Krishna I is the king mentioned in the Alās grant and other records. He constructed the rock-cut temple of Ellora, and he patronized the religious teacher Akaḷanka. (Ep. Ind. xiii, 276; vi, 171; ix, 194; xiv, 123.)
