The Sirur record of Amoghavarsha I states that the lord of Malva was also a feudatory of that emperor. It is not possible to identify this feudatory; he could not have been the ruler of the whole of eastern and western Malva, for the larger part of that territory was under the influence of the Gurjara-Pratihāras. Parmāras rose to power under Upendra sometime after 900 A.D.; so Amoghavarsha's feudatory could not have been that ruler. He may probably have been some petty local magnate, now professing allegiance to Bhoja and then to Amoghavarsha I, according to the exigencies of the political situation.
