The Early History of the Deccan (Parts I–XI) v2.c14.16

v2.c14.16

Inscriptions from the Karnatak disclose the existence of some petty Yādava feudatories ruling in the Dharvar District towards the end of the ninth century,¹ which is just about the time when the Yādava house was first becoming prominent in the Nāsik District. As, however, there are no contemporary names common to these families and the Yādavas proper, it is not possible to claim a Karnatak origin for this group, though it is true that many proper names which appear to be Canarese do occur among those of the ministers of the family in later times.
