family after having rooted out a member of the family who had taken to mischief-making. It seems probable that Kakka II. the grantor of the Ántroli plate is the mischief-maker and that his mischief was, on the death of Dantidurga, the attempt to secure the succession to himself. Krishna frustrated Kakka's attempt and rooted him out so effectively that no trace of Kakka's family again appears. [Krishna and Govinda II. A.D. 765-795.] From this it follows that, so far as is known, the Ráshtrakúta conquest of Gujarát begins with Dantidurga's conquest of Láta, that is South Gujarát between the Mahí and the Narbadá, from the Gurjjara king Jayabhata whose latest known date is A.D. 736 or seventeen years before the known date of Dantidurga. The Gurjjaras probably retired to the Rájpipla hills and further east on the confines of Málwa where they may have held a lingering sway. [423] No Gujarát event of importance is recorded during the reign of Krishna (A.D. 765) or of his son Govinda II. (A.D. 780) who about A.D. 795 was superseded by his powerful younger brother Dhruva. [424] [Dhruva I. A.D. 795.] Dhruva was a mighty monarch whose conquests spread from South India as far north as Allahábád. During Dhruva's lifetime his son Govinda probably ruled at Mayúrakhandi or Morkhanda in the Násik district and held the Ghát country and the Gujarát coast from Balsár northwards. Though according to a Kapadvanj grant Govinda had several brothers the Rádhanpur (A.D. 808) and Van-Dindori (A.D. 808) grants of his son Govinda III. state that his father, seeing Govinda's supernatural Krishna-like powers, offered him the sovereignty of the whole world. Govinda declined, saying, The Kanthiká or coast tract already given to me is enough. Seeing that Mayúrakhandi or Morkhanda in Násik was Govinda's capital, this Kanthiká appears to be the coast from Balsár northwards.
