Kṛṣṇa I was succeeded by his eldest son Govinda Prabhūtavarṣa Vikramāvaloka soon after 772 ¹ A.D. He had been selected by his father as his successor and was annointed as yuvarāja some time between 770 and 772(2) A.D. He had already distinguished himself on the battlefield by defeating Viṣṇu-vardhana IV of Vengi.(3) He appears to have been a great cavalry leader, for the Kadba plates issued by Govinda III, a son of Dhruva I who had deposed him, mention how Govinda II used to win victory by the sole help of his favourite horse.
