It would be convenient to discuss the remaining history of the Gujrat branch at this stage though it continued to rule down to the reign of Amoghavarsha's successor. Dhruva II had three brothers, one of whom had joined his enemy. Of the remaining two, Govinda had rendered him valuable assistance in his wars with Amoghavarsha, and Dantivarman was ruling under him as a local governor in 867 A.D. This latter succeeded him some time after 867 A.D., and in 888 A.D. Gurjara Dantivarman's son Kṛṣṇarāja Akālavarsha upon the throne. This Kṛṣṇarāja participated in his feudal lord's wars with the Gurjara Pratihāras and claims to have defeated the enemy at Ujjain.⁴²
