Govinda IV (930 - 935) C.E. the younger brother of Amoghavarsha II became the Rashtrakuta king in 930 as illustrated in the Kalasa record of Chikmagalur. A detested monarch who indulged in profligate acts, he lost the authority over Kannauj. The Chalukyas of Vengi overpowered him and profound sum of territory was lost. Finally, his own feudatories including King Arikesari of Vemulavada in Andhra dismayed against him and placed Amoghavarsha III on the throne in 935. This is known from the records of Kannada Poet Adikavi Pampa, who was patronised by King Arikesari. Govinda IV shared matrimonial relationship with the Cholas of Kanchi and lastly established retreat when his feudatories upheavaled. The emperor is said to have patronized the Kannada poet Ravinagabhatta.
