The Dynastic History of Northern India (Early Mediaeval Period) v2.c34.s1.40

v2.c34.s1.40

Practically nothing is known about the political incidents of Allaṭa’s reign. But Ojha¹ mentions an unpublished damaged and fragmentary inscription in a small Jain temple at Ahar, near Udaipur, which says that Allaṭa killed in fight his powerful enemy Devapāla, and also mentions the *Akṣapaṭalika* Mayūra, whose name occurs in the Sāraṇeśvara inscription referred to above. Though at present there is no evidence it is not impossible that this Devapāla is identical with the Kanauj Pratīhāra of that name.²
