Comment:
Kalhana notes that Sankaravarman invaded Gujarat with an army composed of “nine lac infantrymen, three hundred elephants and one lac cavalry”; Alakhana, the local ruler had to gift a swath of territory to maintain his sovereignty. Samkaravarman was married to Sugandha, the daughter of a neighboring king and had at-least three other queens including one Surendravati. He is remarked to have brought cultural as well as economic prosperity. A boldly struck specimen of this enigmatic King. Scarce and choice.
