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.
