Krishna I

Krishna I

Krishna I (756 - 774)C.E. an uncle of Dantidurga took charge of the growing Rashtrakuta empire by defeating the last Badami Chalukya king Kirtivarman II in 757. This is known from the copper plate grant of King Govinda III of 807 and a copper plate grant of the Gujarat Rashtrakuta King Karka from Baroda.Reu (1933), p57] He is also known as Kannara or Kannesvara and took the titles "Akalavarsha", "Shubatunga", "Prithvivallabha" and "Shrivallabha". He patronised the famous Jain logician Akalanka Bhatta, the author of "Rajavartika". Some historians are of the opinion that Krishna I usurped the throne from his nephew Dantidurga.Vincent Smith in Reu (1933), p58] But others disagree as the term "demise of Dantidurga" occur in the Kavi and Navasari copper plates indicating Krishna I mush have ascended the throne after the death of Dantidurga. However from the Baroda inscription it seems that Krishna I may have had to subdue another claimant to the throne, perhaps a Rashtrakuta princes or a son of Dantidurga.Reu (1933), p58]

He successfully fought the Western Ganga Dynasty king Sripurusha and acquired some territory in Gangavadi (Southern Karnataka) and the Shilaharas of south Konkan. He defeated the Eastern Chalukya King Vishnuvardhana IV.Kamath (2001), p74] The Kailasanatha Temple in Ellora was commissioned during his time as described by the Alas inscription of 770. He was responsible for building 18 Shiva temples. 1800 coins of his, discovered recently, have the legend "Parama Maheshvara" which indicates his strong Shaiva faith.Reu (1933), p78] His eldest son, Govinda II came to power after him.
