History of Mediaeval Hindu India (being a History of India from 600 to 1200 A.D.) v3.c34.s3.12

v3.c34.s3.12

Bhīma was succeeded by his second son Karṇa, the eldest Mūlarāja having died in his father's life-time. He had a peaceful reign from 1064 to 1094. He built a large tank called Karṇasāgara and he also founded a city, named it Karṇāvatī and made it his second capital. This city is modern Ahmedabad. As usual with Hindu powerful kings, he built many temples to Śiva and Durgā. He had very few conflicts with neighbouring kings, but the Hammīra-Mahākāvya states that he died in a battle with Dussala of Sākambharī.
