Durlabhavardhana or Durlabha Vardhana alias Prajnaditya was a king from 7th century Kashmir. He was the founder and the first ruler of the Karkota dynasty. He reigned from 598-634 AD.[1]
Background
[edit]Kalhana's third book mentions of a Gonanda dynasty (II), which ruled for about 590 years till the establishment of the Karkotas;on cross-vetting with coins and inscriptions, names of some of these rulers are found to correspond with the Alchon Huns, who ruled hundreds of years later. Across the first three books, Kalhana reshuffles multiple names, retrofits the same stories, assigns abnormally long reigns, and telescopes some rulers into the past.[2]
Personal life
[edit]Originally hailing, as a minister of Gonanda III dynasty under the rule of Baladitya I. Baladitya gave his daughter Anaṅgalekhā to Durlabhavardhana.[3] Afterwards he was given the title of Prajnaditya.
Originality
[edit]Atrahi Bishwas disputes the traditional account of the Karkota dynasty's establishment. She proposes that Durlabhaka Pratapaditya was the first Karkota ruler, who seized the throne after defeating Yudhisthira, the last Alchon Hun ruler of Kashmir. However, her interpretation has been contested by scholars, who argue that she overlooked an alternative chronology proposed by German historians Sir Humbach and Göbl.[4]
