State and Government in Ancient India c12.s3.24

c12.s3.24

In south India, especially under the Chālukyas and the Rāshtrakūṭas, princesses in the royal family were appointed frequently to important administrative posts. We shall refer to only two cases by way of illustration ; Revakanimmadi, a daughter of Amoghavaraha I and the wife of Erragaṅga, was the governor of the important district of Edatore 2,000 in *c.* 850 A. D., and Akkādevī, an elder sister of Jayasiṁha III, was ruling over the district of Kisukuda in 1022 A. D. Such cases, however, are not known to northern India.
