v1.c17.s2.59

We do not know the name of any other ruler of this family after Daṇḍi-mahādevī. As the characters of the grants of this queen belong to the period *c.* 1058-1200 A. D., it is not unlikely that the dynasty was destroyed during her reign or in that of one of her immediate successors by the growing power of the Eastern Gaṅgas of Kaliṅganagara. It seems almost certain that the Karas must have been swept away before the advance of Avantavarman Coḍagaṅga (*c.* 1076-1147 A. D.) who conquered the ruler of Utkala and apparently extended the frontiers of his kingdom from Godavari valley to the Ganges.
