Govindacandra also seems to have come into touch with the Candellas, for the Mau inscription records some transactions of Sallakṣaṇavarman (circa 1100-1115 A. D.) in the country of Antarvedi;¹ unfortunately the inscription is so hopelessly mutilated that it is beyond the range of possibility to recover the historical allusion contained therein. In fine, Govindacandra made himself a considerable power, and under him the glories of Kanauj revived, so that the Gagaha plate² could represent him as having captured the elephants of the “nine kings,” an expression which probably signifies that he placed himself in the position of almost the leading monarch in Jambūdvīpa.
