Vikramārka of Cāpa family, founded a royal dynasty at Vardhamana ( Wadhvan).
Bāhukadhavala, the grandson of Kalla seems to be a powerful feudatory of the Pratihāra sovereign Nāgabhata II (Munshi, GG., III, 70). He destroyed in battle Dharma (Dharmapāla ), conquered kings of high status, and vanquished the army of Karņāțaka.--(EI., IX, 2 ff.).
A grant of land situated in Pacchatrì (Pachtardi) Visaya was issued to a Brāhmaṇa of the Sankstya gotra, a resident of Someśvara (Somanātha), by Mahāsāmant Jaika ( Jayasena ) I during the reign of his nephew Agguka II, on the occasion of Uttarāyaṇa of Samvat 888, ( 832 A.D.) on the 12th day of an unspecified month ( which seems to be Pausa). The Dūtaka of the charter was Poet Bāla, and was composed by Kapila, a Śaka.-(Ghumli Plates : EI, XXVI 197 ff.).
Jaika I, the step-uncle of Agguka II, completed his plans of usurping the throne of his minor nephew. In a later grant which is undated, he mentions himself as the ruling king, and omits all reference to his elder brother and his son in the genealogy. The grant was issued to a Brāhmaṇa of the Vatsa gotra, a resident of Bhillamāla (Bhinmal). The land was situated in the Pacchatri vişaya mentioned in his earlier record. --( Ghumli Plates : EI, XXVI, 203 ff., 193 ).
Bappabhațți Sūri succeeded in regaining Girnar tirtha from the hands of the Digambaras.--( Prabhāvakacarita XI, v. 691-701). This event may be assigned to a date not later than V. S. 890 (834 A. D.) when Ama ( who had been to Girnar along with Bappabhatti) died.-(Vide, three verses of Siddhastava', in Caitya-vandană--- Prabhāvakacarita XI, v. 702).
According to the Jaina traditions, Ama alias Nāgávaloka and Nagabhața II, king of Kānyakubja ( Kanauj ) died in V.S. 890 (Prabhāvakacarita—XI, v. 719721). He got built Jaina temples in various places such as Anahillapura ( Patan), Modha ( Modheră ), Satārakapura, Mathurā and Kanyakubja (Kanauj).-( Ibid. XI, v. 857-659).
Further, at the instance of Bappabhatti Sūri, he went to Śatrunjaya and Ujjayanta for pilgrimage.-( Ibid, v. 684-685 ).
Dhruvarāja I, younger brother of Karkarāja and Govindarāja, was ruling • as Rāştrakūța Viceroy in Gujarat, in succession to the latter. He was succeeded by his son Akāla-varsa Subhatunga.
The Rāştrakūta king Dhārāvarşa Dhruvarāja II issued from near Khețaka the grant of the village Püsilāvilli in Kāśahrada Deśa, which was executed by Devarāja and composed by Sāndhivigrahika Nārāyaṇa to Jyotişika Yoga, resident of Vadarasiddhi ( modern Borsad, in Kaira District ), on the occasion
