[Pulakesi Janásraya, A.D. 738.] Mangalarája was succeeded by his younger brother Pulakesi Janásraya. This is the time of Khalif Hashám (H. 105-125, A.D. 724-743) whose Sindh governor Junaid is recorded to have sent expeditions against Marmád, Mandal, Dalmaj (Kámlej?), Bárus, Uzain, Máliba, Baharimad (Mevad?), Al Bailáimán (Bhinmál?), and Juzr. Though several of these names seem to have been misread and perhaps misspelt on account of the confusion in the original Arabic, still Marmád, Mandal, Barus, Uzain, Máliba, and Juzr can easily be identified with Márvád, Mandal near Viramgám, Bharuch, Ujjain, Málwa, and Gurjjara. The defeat of one of these raids is described at length in Pulakesi's grant of A.D. 738-9 (T. 490) which states that the Arab army had afflicted the kingdoms of Sindhu, Kacchella, Sauráshtra, Chávotaka, Maurya, and Gurjjara that is Sindh, Kacch, the Chávadás, the Mauryas of Chitor, [388] and the Gurjjaras of Bhínmál. [389] Pulakesi was at this time ruling at Navsárí. It is uncertain how much longer this Chálukya kingdom of Navsárí continued. It was probably overthrown about A.D. 750 by the Gujarát branch of the Ráshtrakútas who were in possession in A.D. 757-8. [390] [Buddhavarmman, A.D. 713 (?).] The Kaira grant dated 394 gives in hereditary succession the names Jayasimha, Buddhavarmman, and Vijayarája. [391] The grant is made from Vijayapura, which, as the late Colonel West suggested, may be Bijápur near Parántij though this is far to the north of the otherwise known Chálukya limits. The village granted is Pariyaya in the Kásákula division. If taken as Traikútaka the date 394 corresponds to A.D. 642-3. This is out of the question, since Vijayarája's grand-uncle Vikramáditya flourished between A.D. 670 and 680. Professor Bhandarkar considers the plate a forgery, but there seems no sufficient reason for doubting its genuineness. No fault can be found with the character. It is written in the usual style of Western Chálukya grants, and contains the names of a number of Bráhman grantees with minute details of the fields granted a feature most unusual in a forged grant. In the Gupta era, which equally with the Traikútaka era may be denoted by the word Sam. and which is more likely to be in use in North Gujarát the 394 would represent the fairly probable A.D. 713. Jayasimha may have conquered part of North Gujarát and sent his son Buddhavarmman to rule over it. [Nágavarddhana.] Jayasimha appears to have had a third son Nágavarddhana ruling in West Násik which was connected with South Gujarát through Balsár, Párdi, and Penth. The Nirpan grant of Nágavarddhana is undated, [392] and, though it gives a wrong genealogy, its seal, the form of composition, the biruda or title of the king, and the alphabet all so closely agree with the style of the Gujarát Chálukya plates that it cannot be considered a forgery. Not long after A.D. 740 the Chálukyas seem to have been supplanted in South Gujarát by the Ráshtrakútas.
