Dantidurga: Founder of
Rashtrakuta Empire
Over time, some samantas gained power
and wealth and declared themselves as
"maha-samanta" or "maha-mandaleshvara,"
even asserting independence from their
overlords.
An example is the Rashtrakutas in the
Deccan, who were initially subordinates to
the Chalukyas of Karnataka.
