The Paramāra dynasty of Mālwā, the region north of the Narmadā, anciently known as Avanti, or the kingdom of Ujjain, is specially memorable by reason of its association with many eminent names in the history of later Sanskrit literature. The dynasty was founded by a chief named Upendra or Krishnarāja, early in the ninth century, when so many ruling families attract notice for the first time, and it lasted for about four centuries. Upendra appears to have come from Chandrāvatī and Achalgarh, near Mount Ābū, where his clan had been settled for a long time.
