c12.s2.26

Kṛṣṇa's commitments in the south affected, in the latter part of his reign, his position in the north. He had committed the blunder of alienating the sympathies of his Chedi relatives by attacking them in his campaign in the north while a Yuvaraja; and the Chandellas rose to power under Yaśovarman and Dhanga. The Khajuraho inscription (30) shows that the fort of Kalanjar was recaptured by the Chandellas before 953-4 A.D., and Chitrakūṭa could not have remained much longer under the Rāṣṭrakūṭa control. The Marathi C. P., however, continued to be under the rule of Kṛṣṇa; Deoli plates grant a village in the district of Chhindwara, and in the same district two fragmentary inscriptions of his have been discovered.
