One of the most proficient rulers of the Rashtrakuta dynasty, DhruvaDharavarsha (780-793) C.E. succeeded to the throne, subsequent to his older brother Govinda II. Evidences asserting the empirical powers of Dhruva are witnessed in the Garugadahalli writing of 782 and the Dhulia grant of 779. Although certain historians proclaimed that Dhruva appalled and seized the throne from his brother, other historians assert that switch of the throne from Govinda II to Dhruva was serene. The emperor attained the titles of Srivallabha, Kalivallabha, Parameshvara, Dharavarsha and Maharajadhiraja.
