Question : 39

Who is the last king described in the Rajatarangini of Kalhna?

a) Chandrapida

b) Jayasimha

c) Muktapida

d) Anantavarman

Answer: (b)

Jayasimha is the last king described in the Rajatarangini of Kalhana. From this, comes Stein’s deduction that Kalhana was not a part of the circle surrounding Jayasimha, the ruling monarch at the time when he was writing the Rajatarangini. Kalhana was born to a Kashmiri minister, Canpaka, who probably served king Harsa of the Lohara dynasty.

It is possible that his birthplace was Parihasapura and his birth would have been very early in the 12th century.

Question : 40

a) Extension of Empire

Answer: (b)

Acquisition of wealth was the main objective of Sultan Mahmud’s Indian conquests. In 1001, Mahmud of Ghazni had first invaded India. Mahmud defeated, captured and later released Shahi ruler Jaya Pala who had moved his capital to Peshawar.

Jaya Pala killed himself and was succeeded by his son Ananda Pala. In 1005, Mahmud of Ghazni invaded Bhatia (probably Bhera) and in 1006 he invaded Multan at which time Ananda Pala’s army attacked him.
