v2.c29.s2.88

Lakṣmaṇarāja was succeeded by Śaṅkaragaṇa, his son by Rāhaḍā. This prince is omitted by the Goharwa grant of Lakṣmī-Karṇa;² but he is mentioned as king in the Benares³ and the Bilhari⁴ inscriptions. Both these records praise him only in vague terms, without any remark of the slightest value. He probably had a rather brief and inglorious reign. The only interesting fact known about him is his devotion to the god Viṣṇu (*Vaiṣṇava-parama*).⁵
