The Rashtrakutas and their Times c10.10

*Continued from the last page* Sanjān plates of Amoghavarsha should ignore him altogether and give the whole credit of the restoration to Pātālamalla. It is possible to argue that the omission of Karka in the Sanjān record is deliberate; his descendants having rebelled against Amoghavarsha, the latter may have naturally ignored the services that he had rendered to him, in a document that he had issued when the memory of that rebellion was still fresh in his memory. This explanation is, however, not quite convincing, and I will prefer to assume that Pātālamalla was a *biruda* of Karka.
