The Early History of the Deccan (Parts I–XI) v1.c10.14

v1.c10.14

Govinda I was succeeded by his son Karkkarāja, who ruled from *c.* A.D. 700 to 715. He was a Vaiṣṇava in his religious beliefs. Later court panegyrists tell us how the mere mention of his name would cause tears and bracelets to fall from the eyes and the wrists of the wives of his enemies; such general praise, however, does not enable us to reconstruct the history of his times. No incidents of his reign are in fact known to us in the records that we have at present.
