History of Kanauj to the Moslem Conquest c11.5

c11.5

In discussing the knotty problem of the extension of the suzerainty of Kanauj during the time of Harṣa, we must consider first the limits of his paternal dominion, which with the transference of his seat of government to Kanauj had become united with his new territorial acquisition; and secondly his own campaigns and conquests. Lastly, we have to determine what relation the contemporary kingdoms bore to Kanauj, taking into consideration Yuan Chwang’s testimony as to their political conditions and status.
