Rāṣṭrakūṭas. We may presume that they must have built several forts on the hills, which were plentiful in their dominions. The fort of Morkhind in Nasik district is one of the forts in Maharashtra, the antiquity of which goes back to our period; when the Wani-Dindori(39) and Radhanpur(40) plates were issued by Govinda III, he was encamped in that fort. Many other forts in the Deccan, which were repaired by Shivaji in his war of independence, may have been as old as our period. It is almost certain that the Rāṣṭrakūṭas must have built several forts in their Empire, though unfortunately we know nothing about them at present.
