c10.s1.2
Sometime after his accession Govinda III put his younger brother Indra in charge of southern Gujrat, probably in c. 800 A.D. He was thoroughly loyal to his elder brother, (22) protected the province assiduously and cooperated with his feudal lord in defeating Nāgabhaṭa II. Soon thereafter he died, for we find that his eldest son Karka Suvarṇavarṣa was ruling the Gujrat kingdom in 812 A.D. (23) From the Torkhede plates issued in December of the next year, we find that Karka's younger brother was then occupying some important administrative post, having the power of creating sub-feudatories.
