Kṛṣṇarāja. It is this king who is found to have been glorified in the Prasasti of the Uttarapurāņa, referred to in the Prasasti of the Harivamśapurana of Acarya Jinasena and glorified in the works of the great poet, Puspadanta. This king Kṛṣṇaraja had been succeeded by his son king Prabhutavarṣa alias king Govindarāja II, who, owing to his mind being absorbed in worldly enjoyments, had allowed his younger brother king Dhruvarāja alias Nirupama and Dhārāvarsa, to take the reins. The stanzas, to which numbers 12, 13, 14 and 15 are assigned in the Sanjānā copperplate inscription, describe king Dhruvaraja. He is not described through those stanzas as having massacred his enemies. He is not described as having reinstated any one of his enemies after inflicting crushing defeats upon them. The following four stanzas, to which numbers 16, 17, 18 and 19 are assigned, glorify the son of king Nirupama but do not mention his name. It seems that his name was king Amoghavarṣa. King Tribhuvanadhavala is described in the stanza -
aìzıcısaÌaadu agı à a qfa fa̸q:
ये
gaar ù fagaràqi xrnatąscolęfa: 11 36 11 [Sanjānā C-Inscription]
as having released the hostile kings who had been incarcerated by king Amoghavarṣa. The inimical kings had been liberated on the occasion when a son, Sarva by name, had been born to him. This king Amoghavarṣa seems to be the son of king Dharavarṣa and the father of king Tribhuvanadhavala. This king Amoghavarsa, the son of king Nirupama alias king Dhārāvarṣa, is described through the four stanzas referred to above as having defeated his servants who had sided with his enemies, and as having reinstated them. Similarly, he, being compassionate at heart, is described as having reinstated his enemies also after defeating them. The following nine stanzas [20 to 28] are found as having described king Tribhuvanadhavala.
