CONQUESTS OF ŚÌLÁDITYA IN THE SOUTH by S. Srikanta Sastri

Mayùra, supposed to be the father-in-law of Bãņa, the biographer of Harşa Šìlãditya, is credited with the following stanza eulogising Šrì Harşa:-

Bhùpãlãh Šašibhaskarãnvayabhuvah ken am nãsãditãh |

Bhartãram punar ekameva hi bhuvastvãm deva manyã mahe |

Yenãńgam parimŗşya Kuntalamathãkŗşya vyudasyã yatam |

Colam prãpya ca madhyadešamadhunã Káncyām karah pātitah ||

 

Here reference is made to southern conquests of Harşa – Kuntala, Cola and Madhyadeśa and Kãñcì.
