The Pallavas and Chalukyas
The Pallavas and Chalukyas
The Pallavas, Chalukyas and Pulakeshin’s Prashasti: Prashasti is a sanskrit word, meaning 'in praise of'. Prashastis are long inscriptions , written in praise of the kings. The Pallavas and Chalukyas were the most important ruling dynasties in south India during this period. The kingdom of the pallavas spread from the region around their capital, Kanchipuram, to the Kaveri delta, while that of the Chalukyas was centered around the Raichurd Doab, between the rivers Krishna and Tungabhadra.
Aihole, the capital of the Chalukyas, was an important trading centre. It developed as a religious centre, with a number of temples. The pallavas and chalukyas frequently raided one another’s lands, especially attacking the capital cities, which were prosperous towns.
The best- known Chalukyas ruler was Pulakeshin II. We know about him from a prashasti, composed by his court poet Ravikirti. This tells us about his ancestors, who are traced back through four generations from father to son. Pulakeshin evidently got the kingdom from his uncle.
According to Ravikirti, he led expenditions along both the west and the east coasts. Besides, he checked the advance of Harsha. There is an interesting play of words in the poem. Harsha means happiness. The poet says that after this defeat, Harsha was no longer Harsha! Pulakeshin also attacked the Pallava king, who took shelter behind the walls of Kanchipuram.
But the Chalukya victory was short- lived. Ultimately, both the Pallavas and the Chalukyas gave way to new rulers belonging to the Rashtrakuta and Chola dynasties.
How were these kingdoms administered? As in the case of earlier kings, land revenue remained important for these rulers, and the village remained the basic unit of administration.
There were some new developments as well. Kings adopted a number of steps to win the support of men who were powerful, either economically, or socially, or because of their political and military strength. For instance:
