The next ruler was Karka I, who unlike his father was a Vaishnavite.⁶⁷ Very little that is historical is known about him. He had at least three sons,⁶⁸ of whom Indra I, the father of Dantidurga, seems to have been the eldest. He may have been born very probably in c. 700 A.D. Kṛṣṇa I, who succeeded his nephew, seems to have been a younger brother of Indra I. He may have been junior to Indra I by about ten years; his age at the time of his death in c. 775 A.D., may have been about 65. Nanna Guṇāvaloka seems to have been the youngest child of Karka I, since he is known to have been alive in 793 A.D., when the Daulatābād plates were issued by his son Śaṅkaragaṇa.⁶⁹ His birth may be placed in c. 715 or 720 A.D.
