[Dhruva II. A.D. 867.] Akálavarsha was succeeded by his son Dhruva II. also called Dhárávarsha and Nirupama. Of Dhruva II. two copperplates remain the published Bagumrá grant dated Saka 789 [434] (A.D. 867) and an unpublished Baroda grant dated Saka 793 (A.D. 871). [435] Both plates record that Dhruva crushed certain intrigues among his relatives or bandhuvarga, and established himself firmly on the throne. Regarding the troubles at the beginning of his reign the Bagumrá plate states that on one side Vallabha the head of the Dakhan Ráshtrakútas was still against him; on another side Dhruva had to face an army of Gurjjaras instigated by a member of his own family [436]; thirdly he was opposed by certain of his relatives or bándhaváh; and lastly he had to contend against the intrigues of a younger brother or anuja. It further appears from Dhruva II.'s Bagumrá plate that he checked an inroad by a Mihira king with a powerful army. This Mihira king was probably a chief of the Káthiáváda Mehrs who on the downfall of the Valabhis spread their power across Gujarát. In all these troubles the Bagumrá grant notes that Dhruva was aided by a younger brother named Govindarája. This Govindarája is mentioned as appointed by Dhruva the Dútaka of the grant. Dhruva II.'s Bagumrá (A.D. 867) grant was made at Bhrigu-Kachchha or Broach after bathing in the Narbadá. It records the gift to a Bráhman of the village of Páráhanaka, probably the village of Palsána [437] twelve miles south-east of Bagumrá in the Balesar subdivision of the Gáikwár's territory of Surat and Navsárí. Dhruva's Baroda grant (A.D. 871) was also made at Broach. It is a grant to the god Kapálesvara Mahádeva of the villages Konvalli and Nakkabhajja both mentioned as close to the south bank of the Mahí. The facts that the Bagumrá grant (A.D. 867) transfers a village so far south as Balesar near Navsárí and that four years later the Baroda grant (A.D. 871) mentions that Dhruva's territory lay between Broach and the Mahí seem to prove that between A.D. 867 and 871 the portion of Dhruva's kingdom south of Broach passed back into the hands of the main Ráshtrakútas. [Akálavarsha-Krishna, A.D. 888.] The next and last known Gujarát Ráshtrakúta king is Akálavarsha-Krishna son of Dantivarmman. A grant of this king has been found in Bagumrá dated Saka 810 (A.D. 888). [438] The composition of the grant is so bad and the genealogical verses after Karka are so confused that it seems unsafe to accept any of its details except its date which is clearly Saka 810 (A.D. 888). It seems also improbable that the son of Dantivarmman who flourished in Saka 734 (A.D. 812) could be reigning in Saka 810 (A.D. 888) seventy-six years later. Still the sixty-three years' reign of the contemporary Mányakheta Ráshtrakúta Amoghavarsha (S. 736-799, A.D. 814-877) shows that this is not impossible.
