History of Kanauj to the Moslem Conquest c15.s2.t16.10

c15.s2.t16.10

there is nothing in support of Mr. C. V. Vaidya’s view that the enumeration of the nine kings shows that “the empire or suzerainty of Kanauj was acknowledged even in its decline over a very large extent of territory.”¹ As already observed, the passage in question only gives us a list of the principal kingdoms that had dealings with Kanauj, and the assumption that they were subject to it seems altogether fantastic and wide the mark.
