Gopala had died by 770 AD, leaving a strong consolidated empire which will be further expanded by Dharmapala. Dharmapala was defeated by Rashtrakuta ruler Dhruva, who went back to Deccan after some time. Despite these setbacks, Dharmapala went to conquer large territories. Bihar and Bengal were in his direct control, He defeated the Ayudha king Indrayudha and inserted Chakrayudha on the throne of kanauj as a vassal.[4] The Bhagalpur Inscription of Narayanapala tells us that Dharmapala de-thorned Indrayudha and installed his younger brother Chakrayudha.[5][6][7]
