c12.s3.8
We have seen that Khoṭṭiga was alive early in 972 A.D., when Mānyakheṭa was sacked; he seems to have died during the war with the Paramāras, for we find his successor issuing the Kharda plates⁴⁵ in September of the same year. Sorab inscription No. 455 is dated in 972, and refers to Karka as the ruling emperor. We may, therefore, place the death of Khoṭṭiga and the accession of Karka II, in the middle of 972 A.D.
