Bhīma II of the Eastern Chālukya dynasty, who was a contemporary ruler, claims to have defeated a great army sent by king Govinda.⁶⁴ This Govinda is almost certainly Govinda IV. The defeat of the Rāṣṭrakūṭa army must have taken place towards the end of the reign of Govinda, since Bhīma II ascended the throne in c. 934 A.D. This reverse may have hastened Govinda's fall.
