The Early History of the Deccan (Parts I–XI) v1.c10.13

v1.c10.13

Indra Pṛichchhakarāja and Govindarāja, the son and grandson of Dantivarman, ruled from *c.* A.D. 665 to 700. We know nothing of their achievements. Govinda was a Śaivite, for we are told that he bowed his head before no deity other than Śiva. Dr. R. G. Bhandarkar has identified him with Govinda, who had attacked Pulakeśin II from the north of the Bhīmā, but this view is untenable. Govinda the opponent of Pulakeśin II flourished from *c.* A.D. 610 to 630; Govinda the son of Pṛichchhakarāja ruled seventy years later.
