Dadda II.'s own grants describe him as having attained the five great titles, and praise him in general terms: and both he and his brother Ranagraha sign their grants as devout worshippers of the sun. Dadda II. heads the genealogy in the later grant of 456 (A.D. 704-5), [410] which states that he protected "the lord of Valabhi who had been defeated by the great lord the illustrious Harshadeva." The event referred to must have been some expedition of the great Harshavardhana of Kanauj (A.D. 607-648), perhaps the campaign in which Harsha was defeated on the Narbadá by Pulakesi II. (which took place before A.D. 634). The protection given to the Valabhi king is perhaps referred to in the Khedá grants in the mention of "strangers and suppliants and people in distress." If this is the case the defeat of Valabhi took place before A.D. 628-29, the date of the earlier of the Khedá grants. On the other hand, the phrase quoted is by no means decisive, and the fact that in Hiuen Tsiang's time Dhruvasena of Valabhi was son-in-law of Harsha's son, makes it unlikely that Harsha should have been at war with him. It follows that the expedition referred to may have taken place in the reign of Dharasena IV. who may have been the son of Dhruvasena by another wife than Harsha's granddaughter. To Dadda II.'s reign belongs Hiuen Tsiang's notice of the kingdom of Broach (C. 640 A.D.). [411] He says "all their profit is from the sea" and describes the country as salt and barren, which is still true of large tracts in the west and twelve hundred years ago was probably the condition of a much larger area than at present. Hiuen Tsiang does not say that Broach was subject to any other kingdom, but it is clear from the fact that Dadda bore the five great titles that he was a mere feudatory. At this period the valuable port of Broach, from which all their profit was made, was a prize fought for by all the neighbouring powers. With the surrounding country of Láta, Broach submitted to Pulakesi II. (A.D. 610-640): [412] it may afterwards have fallen to the Málava kings, to whom in Hiuen Tsiang's time (A.D. 640) both Khedá (K'ie-ch'a) and Ánandapura (Vadnagar) belonged; later it was subject to Valabhi, as Dharasena IV. made a grant at Broach in V.S. 330 (A.D. 649-50). [413] Knowledge of the later Gurjjaras is derived exclusively from two grants of Jayabhata III. dated respectively 456 (A.D. 704-5) and 486 (A.D. 734-5). [414] The later of these two grants is imperfect, only the last plate having been preserved. The earlier grant of 456 (A.D. 704-5) shows that during the half century following the reign of Dadda II. the dynasty had ceased to call themselves Gurjjaras, and had adopted a Puránic pedigree traced from king Karna, a hero of the Bhárata war. It also shows that from Dadda III. onward the family were Saivas instead of sun-worshippers.
