Gujarât branch of the family. Agreeing in all essential poins with the Bagumrâ grant of A. D. 866, as far as the latter goes, it takes us, in much the same way, to the verse which, in the latter grant, gives the name of the first Dhârâvarsha-Nirupama-Dhruvarâja of Gujarât; but the¹ verse is left incomplete. It then, in another incomplete verse, mentions a person named Dantivarman, but without explaining his connection with the family; and all that can be said is, that he must be placed closely after the second Dhârâvarsha-Nirupama-Dhruvarâja, for whom we have the date of A. D. 866: whether he was his son, or what the relationship was, is not known. And it then mentions the Mahâ-sâmantâdhipati Akâlavarsha-Krishṇarâja, as a son of this Dantivarman; and it tells us that "he conquered his enemies in Ujjayinî before the eyes of the vallabha-king or of king Vallabha," i.e., probably, of Krishna II. of the main line. For this person, the record gives us a date in April, A. D. 888.
