In the middle of the eighth century, Dantidurga, a chieftain of the ancient, and apparently indigenous, Rāshtrakūta clan, fought his way to the front, and overthrew Kīrtivarman II Chalukya, the son and successor of Vikramāditya II. The main branch of the Chalukyas now became extinct, and the sovereignty of the Deccan passed to the Rāshtrakūtas, in whose hands it remained for nearly two centuries and a quarter.
