This name occurs in an inscription lying in the temple of Navalakhā Pārsva) of this place, in V.S. 969 (913 A.D.). This is what we learn from Upadeśaratnākara.-(Ibid, p. 175).

Dharanivarāha was the vassal of Mahipāla, probably a prince of the Cūdāsamā dynasty of Junagadh.-(IA, xii, 190 ; XVIII, 90 ). The practice of performing the 'tulā-puruṣa'' and the 'hiranyagarbha'? ceremony is referred to in the following Rāșțrakūța incriptions : Rāştrakūta king Indra III performed 'tulāpuruşa’ in $. 836 (915 A.D. )-- (EI, ix, 33 f.).
