imperial supremacy in northern India for a long time. Nāgabhaṭa II, who had succeeded Vatsarāja on the Pratihāra throne, soon recovered his position. He formed an alliance, as Dr. R. C. Majumdar has pointed out, with the Mahomedans of Sindh, the Chalukyas of Vengi, and the local rulers in eastern and western C. P., and attacked Dharmapāla and Chakrāyudha.(45) His attack was successful and both Dharmapāla and Chakrāyudha were defeated.(46) He then subjugated the territory round Dholpur and led an expedition to the west defeating the chiefs in Malva and northern Gujrat.(47) Nāgabhaṭa II was thus at the height of his glory and power, when Govinda III decided to attack him sometime in 806 or 807 A.D.
