c10.14

in 816 A.D. whereas its quelling is described in the Baroda plates of Karka's son, Dhruva, issued in 835 A.D. The Surat plates of Karka, which I am editing, enable us, however, to determine the time of the rebellion almost accurately. They were issued on the 13th of May 821 A.D. and describe the restoration of Amoghavarsha to the throne, brought about by the exertions of Karka. It is, therefore, clear that the rebellion took place sometime between 816 and 821 A.D. It may have very probably lasted for about 3 or 4 years, since the description given thereof by the Sanjan record makes it clear that it was a very serious and prolonged affair.
