Govinda II

Govinda II

Govinda II (774 780) C.E. was king of the Rashtrakuta dynasty after Krishna I.

The eldest son of Krishna I, Govinda II left the administration to his younger brother Dhruva Dharavarsha, also known as Nirupama. Apart from his invasion of Vengi and the defeat of Eastern Chalukya king Vishnuvardhana IV, when his father Krishna I was still the king, not much is known about Govinda II, apart from his dedication to sensual pleasures.Reu (1933), p60] It seems that his younger brother Dhruva did most of the conquering as the kingdom had reached three times the size it was during the time of Krishna I. It appears from the Paithan copper plate inscription that an attempt by Govinda II to regain his lost control over the kingdom with the help of neighbouring Kings of Malwa, Kanchi and Vengi failed and that Dhruva Dharavarsha brought the kingdom firmly under his control.Reu (1933), p61]
