⁴³ Fleet suggests the possibility of the Rāṣṭrakūṭa rule having extended for some time right upto Sindh after the fall of Valabhi, since two Arab writers, Ibn Haukal and Al Istakhri state that the Rāṣṭrakūṭa kingdom extended from Kambaya to Saimur. This view, however, is untenable, for Kambaya and Saimur are not on the confines of Sindh; The first is Cambay at the mouth of the Mahi and the second is Chaul, 30 miles to the south of Bombay. It is not improbable that some portion of the territory near the mouth of the Mahi may have been lost to Balavarman or his feudal lord Bhoja I soon after 867 A.D.
