Ancient History of the Deccan c6.s1.47

c6.s1.47

For a long time it was believed that the dynasty was completely destroyed. However, the discovery of the Tagare plates (Mysore Arch. Report for 1918, page 40 and plate XI) seems to prove that the son of Kṛiṣṇavarman II. who was called Ajavarman, did not reign, but that Bhôgivarman, the son of Ajavarman, was the "acquirer of an extensive kingdom by the strength of his own arm". It is probable that this kingdom did not last long, for it appears that this country was occupied, shortly after, by the Gaṅgas (Tagare plates of Polavīra, Mysore Arch. Report for 1918, page 41). Viṣṇuvarman son of Bhôgivarman probably lived in the beginning of the VII century.
