History · Emergence of Regional Kingdoms UGC NET June 2023 History (Shift-I)
Passage
The Pallava-Chalukya conflict continued during the subsequent decades, interspersed with some peaceful interludes. The Pallavas also came into conflict with the Pandyas to the south and the Rashtrakutas to the north. In the early 9th century, the Rashtrakuta Govinda III invaded Kanchi during the reign of the Pallava Dantivarman. Dantivarman's son Nandivarman III managed to defeat the Pandyas. The last known imperial Pallava king was Aparajita. Aided by Western Ganga and Chola allies, he defeated the Pandyas at a battle at Shripurambiyam. He was ultimately overthrown in about 893 by the Chola king Aditya I, and thereafter control over Tondaimandalam passed into the hands of the Cholas.
Who among the following was NOT a Rashtrakuta king?
AGovinda III
BKrishna I
CShaktivarman ✓ Correct
DNripatunga
Correct answer: (C) Shaktivarman — Shaktivarman was not a Rashtrakuta king, so that is the answer.
Explanation
Shaktivarman was not a Rashtrakuta king, so that is the answer.
Shaktivarman was a Chalukya king, not a Rashtrakuta king.
Krishna I, Govinda III and Nripatunga (Amoghavarsha) were Rashtrakuta kings.
The Rashtrakuta dynasty was founded by Dantidurga in 752 CE, with its capital at Manyakheta.
Krishna I constructed the Kailasa temple at Ellora, and Amoghavarsha was a patron of art and literature who composed the Kavirajamarga.
So the one who was not a Rashtrakuta king was Shaktivarman.
