The emperor continued the tolerant policy of his forefathers. Himself a *Bhāgavata* or worshipper of Kṛishṇa-Vishṇu, he and his officers did not discourage followers of other sects, *e.g.*, Jainas and devotee of the Sun. The people were also tolerant. The Kahāum inscription commemorates the erection of Jaina images by a person “full of affection for Brāhmaṇas.”³ The Indore plate records a deed by a Brāhmaṇa endowing a lamp in a temple of the Sun.
