Description |
In this present paper, I will try to explore the manner in which Rāṣṭrakūṭa kingship drew upon religious ideology by focusing on the inclusion of divine mythic figures in the royal charters or other inscriptions. In the various inscriptions of the Rāṣṭakūṭas, we have noticed king’s depiction as famous epic hero or association with some popular deity. These kinds of depictions raise question about motive behind it, so in the present paper I would like to analyze this question.
