Govinda II (r. 774 – 780 CE) also known as Govindaraja was the Rashtrakuta emperor who succeeded his father Krishna I.[1]
The eldest son of Krishna I, Govinda II left the administration to his younger brother, the prince Dhruva Dharavarsha (who was also known as Nirupama).[citation needed] Apart from his dedication to sensual pleasures and an invasion of Vengi and the subsequent defeat of Eastern Chalukya ruler Vishnuvardhana IV (when his father Krishna I was still the Rashtrakuta emperor), not much is known about Govinda II.[2] It seems his younger brother Dhruva did most of the conquering, as the empire reached three times the size it was during the time of Krishna I. A Paithan copper plate inscription states that an attempt by Govinda II to regain his lost control over the empire with the help of neighboring rulers of Malwa, Kanchi i.e. Nandivarman II and Vengi i.e. Vishnuvardhana IV failed and that Dhruva Dharavarsha brought the empire firmly under his control.[3]
