But Dharwar was in the very heart of the Rāṣṭrakūṭa empire under the direct imperial administration; no independent king could have survived there down to c. 808 A.D. Mārassalba of the Gudigeri record must have been a third-rate feudatory,—supposing that he belonged to this period—; for an inscription from the district of Shimoga shows that Rājdaityarasa was Govinda's governor over Banavāsī 12000, and that Chitravāhana was ruling over Alurakhed 6000 under him at this time. \[ See E.
