Gāngēyadeva Kalachuri of Chedi (*circa* 1015–40), the contemporary of Ganda and his successors, was an able and ambitious prince, who aimed at attaining the position of paramount power in Upper India, and succeeded to a considerable extent. In 1019 his suzerainty was recognized in distant Tirhūt.³ His projects of aggrandizement were taken up and proceeded with by his son Karnadeva (*circa* 1040–70), who joined Bhīma, king of Gujarāt, in crushing Bhoja, the learned king of Mālwā, about A. D. 1060. He had attacked the Pāla king of Magadha at an earlier date, about A. D. 1035.
