The Early History of the Deccan (Parts I–XI) v1.c8.s9.12

v1.c8.s9.12

The Vākāṭaka records give the entire credit for restoring the fortunes of the family to Narendrasena, but it is very probable that he may have received some assistance from his father-in-law, the Kadamba prince; otherwise it is inexplicable why Pṛthivīṣeṇa II, son of Narendrasena, should have referred to his maternal grandfather in his own family genealogy. It does not seem that Kumāragupta I helped his grand-nephew in the hour of his misfortune. By *c.* A.D. 450 he was himself already in great difficulties and could not have afforded to send any help to Narendrasena, even if he had desired to do so.
