What to Focus On

  • Many regional kingdoms rose after the Gupta decline.
  • Kannauj became a key political centre.
  • Sāmantas were subordinate rulers who helped kingdoms govern.

  • Harṣavardhana became king in 606 CE at Kannauj.
  • He belonged to the Puṣhyabhūti or Vardhana dynasty.
  • He was a poet, dramatist, and patron of scholars.

  • Xuanzang travelled in India between 630 and 644 CE.
  • He visited Harṣa’s court and Kānchī.
  • He brought back more than 600 manuscripts carried by 20 horses.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Harṣavardhana ruled from the same political centre as the earlier Gupta Empire and kept a single large empire stable for a long time.

Xuanzang was only a religious traveller and his account has little historical value.

Pulakeśhin II was defeated by Harṣavardhana, so Harṣa expanded south of the Narmada.
