power reached its zenith in the time of Pulakeshi I, who brought under the Chaulukyan Barahdhvaj the whole of India and had the fortune to perform Asvamedha or horse-sacrifice but after him the feudatories broke away from tne suzerain power and became indepependent. As a result, of which, during the time of the successors of Pulakeshi, the Chaulukyan empire was greatly reduced. Kirtivarma and Mangalish, the two sons of Pulkeshi I, fought in vain through out their lives to bring under the Chaulukyan flag the refractory feudatories, but it was reserved for their Successor Pulkeshi II, who became the emperor of India once more after defeating Harsha some where on the bank of Narbada. Pulkeshi 11, placed the government of the Eastern Ghat, in charge of his brother Vishnu Vardhan, who established himself at Bangi. Vikramaditya, the son and successor of Pulakeshi ll, gave in appange Lat and Bonkan to his brother Jaisingh who was the first of the Chaulukyas to rule directly from Nagasarike (Navsari) and after him, his sons ruled from Navsari, for about a century.

Mulraj, an enterprising youth, of some military genius, was not content with the acquirement of Chawadas throne and therefore wanted to take advantage of the disruption of Rastapakutas power in Lat; but he had however to encounter Tailap an equal military genius who hurriedly deputed his commander Barappa to assert his lordship over the territory of Lat. A terrible conflict was commenced and evry inch of land was disputed by Mulraj and Barappa. Gorgiraj the successor of Barappa not only checked the progress of the Patan Chaulukyas but threw away the yoke of Vatapi's supremacy and became independent. Descendents of Barappa are better known in history as Chaulukyas of Nandipur and ruled for about 100 years. The struggle between Chaulukyas
