The Rāṣṭrakūṭas were the real native rulers of the country, and were sometimes eclipsed by enterprising princes of foreign origin, such as the Śātavāhanas and the Chalukyas who established themselves in the Dekhan and exercised supreme sovereignty, but were never extirpated (Bhandarkar, \*EHD\*. 62). - [Previous: c8.s10.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c8.s10.1) - [Next: c8.s10.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c8.s10.3) - [Up: c8.s10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c8.s10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c8.s10.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c8.s10.2) · Pramāṇa
