The Dynastic History of Northern India (Early Mediaeval Period) v2.c31.2

v2.c31.2

Unlike the history of many other dynasties which ruled in India during the period under survey, that of the Caulukyas¹ of Gujarat and Kathiawar, who ruled in those regions for nearly three and a half centuries (c. 950-1304 A. D.), suffer from no dearth of materials. Not only have we numerous epigraphic records of these kings, but—what is more important—we have a number of Jain chronicles carefully registering the dates and incidents of each reign. Indeed, the facts are so plentiful that in a work like the present one we shall only have space to mention briefly the incidents of the reign of these kings, and to indicate as far as possible the sources whence future students may construct a more detailed history, the broad outlines of which have already been fixed by Bühler,² Bhagvanlal Indraji, and Jackson.³
