Nagabhata II

Nagabhata II

Nagabhata II (805–833) ascended the throne of the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty after his father Vatsaraja.[1] His mother was queen Sundari-Devi. He was designated with imperial titles - Paramabhattaraka, Maharajadhiraja, and Paramesvara after conquest of Kannauj.[2]

Reign

Nagabhata II finds a mention in the Gwalior inscription. He defeated the rulers of Andhra, Saindheva, Vidarbha, Kalinga, Matsyas, Vatsas and the Turks. He also defeated Chakrayudh at Kannauj. He was later defeated by the Rashtrakuta Emperor Govinda III (793–814) and lost Malwa and Gujarat. However, he recovered Malwa from the Rashtrakutas, conquered Kanauj and the Indo-Gangetic Plain as far as Bihar from the Palas, and again checked the Muslims in the west. He rebuilt the great Shiva temple at Somnath in Gujarat, which had been demolished in an Arab raid from Sind. Kanauj became the center of the Pratihara state, which covered much of northern India during the peak of their power (836–910).[2]

Rambhadra (833 – c. 836) briefly succeeded Nagabhata II.
