After the submission of Rājyapāla of Kanauj to Mahmūd the power of the Pratihāras declined, Trilochanapāla and his successors were styled rajas of Kanauj, but lived principally at Manaich, now Zafarābād, near Jaunpur, and more remote than their ancient capital from the menace of the Chandel. Shortly before 1090 Chandradeva, of the Gaharwār clan, acquired possession of Benares and Ajodhya, both of which had been included in the kingdom of Kanauj, and extinguished the last vestiges of the authority of the Pratīhāras by extending his dominions as far as Delhi, which he is said to have captured and occupied, reducing the Tomaras to vassalage.
