Another grant found at Baroda⁴ omits the name of Dantidurga, since the object of the writer was simply to give the pedigree of the reigning monarch, with reference to whom Dantidurga was a collateral, and not to give the names of all the previous kings. In that grant Krishnarâja is spoken of as having "rooted out" a prince belonging to the same family with himself who had taken to evil ways and to have himself assumed the task of governing for the "benefit of his race." The prince dethroned or destroyed by Krishnarâja could not have been Dantidurga, as has been supposed by some writers, since he was a powerful monarch who for the first time acquired supreme sovereignty for his family. In a grant found at Kâvî, and another found in the Navasârî district, Krishna is represented to have succeeded to the throne after Dantidurga's death.⁵ The prince whom he set aside, therefore, must either have been a son of Dantidurga or some other person with a better claim to the throne than himself. The statement of the Karḍâ plate that Dantidurga died childless may be discredited as being made two hundred years after the occurrence. - [Previous: c8.s3.357](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.357) - [Next: c8.s3.359](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.359) - [Up: c8.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3) ## Cites (1) - [Karda](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.karda) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.358](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.358) · Pramāṇa
