During their period of decline the Pallava chiefs managed to do some fighting on their own account. When the Rāshtrakūtas supplemented the Chalukyas in the middle of the eighth century, the traditional hostility between the leading power of the Deccan and its southern enemy was not abated, and the new rulers took up the old quarrel with the Pallavas. King Dhruva, a cousin of Dantidurga, who had overthrown the Chalukya dynasty, inflicted a defeat on the Pallavas about A. D. 775 ; and his son, Govinda III, levied tribute from Dantiga, Rāja of Kānchī, in A. D. 803.
