India south of the Narbadā and west of the Wāingangā and the Godāvarī was ruled by a prince independent in all but name. This prince's authority was, indeed, disputed not without success by a great Hindu power, but in this dispute the emperor had neither a share nor an interest. The three provinces of Bengal, Bihār and Orissa were ruled by another independent prince, whose authority, like that of his neighbour to the south-west, was contested by a Hindu power that at this time wrested one of the three provinces from him.
