4. Harshavardhana Dynasty (606-647).

A. The Rise and Fall:

Harshavardhana dynasty or called Harsha - the period of time between the end of the first dynasty and the Tang Dynasty Depending Chinese side - is seen as a solid dynasty after the Gupta dynasty. The time he has known many great thanks Xuanzang (Hiuen Tsang) recorded in the 'Western Lands' as he sometimes experienced from architecture to West 629-645; thanks from the dispatch of China; from coins and inscriptions; from the writings of contemporary luminaries and especially thanks to the work Harshacharita (The achievements of King Harsa) by the poet in the court named Banabhatta has recorded many details Sanskrit including the childhood home of king. Harshacharita is the first book written about the history of Indian celebrity. He is also the author of Kadambini is seen as a jewel of Sanskrit literature.

As noted above, after the post-Gupta period troubled early 7th century, family becomes a powerful Pushabhukti growing in India with king ruled Thaneshwar Prabhakaravardhana. Daughter of Prabhakaravardhana named Rajyasri and is also the sister of the king Grahavarman Harshavardhana is he of land in the capital Maukhari have Kannauj. At that time the PG is still prevalent in the region, and religious believers and Jain BLM often still live together in harmony. Still in chapter 7 of the book of Banabhatta showed Harshacharita always loudly dispute between the BLM and the clergy of PG. Banabhatta write " no one Parasari (monk in yellow shirt) does prefer monks Brahmin, but the increase of 17 different denominations, all living in harmony . "[Agrawala 1969: 225]. 

After the king died in 605 Prabhakaravardhana; Deva Gupta king Malwa origin (probably remote descendant of the old Gupta) attacked and killed in prison hòang king Grahavarman and Conditions Rajyasri. King Rajyavardhan and big brother of Rajyasri and immediately pull troops Harshavardhana Malwa attack to revenge and beat the Deva Gupta. Then the king of the land Shashanka GAUDA, capital alliances conspired together Deva Gupta, to meet authors Rajyavardhan mediate mediate and admit the killing Rajyavardhan then occupied Kannauj. 

Shashanka the BLM Catholic believers - Saivites - very popular in south India. When accounting for the Kannauj Shashanka the Buddhist population no longer support and opposition should Shashanka was cracking and massacred many adherents PG [Sharma 1970: 245]. So when Harshavardhana retook distilled, Buddhist masses in the capital agreed abetting insurgency campaign supporters should immediately successful, and drove Harshavardhana entrenched Shashanka on a small area along the coast in the Bay of Bengal Orissa . On the way there Shashanka fleeing troops PHV Nalanda arson.

This was recorded in the book Xuanzang 'Western Lands'; and chronicles PG, The Arya Manju Sri Mulakalpa, also described Shashanka is a cruel king. According to legend, the king Shashanka had raped a Buddhist temple in Bodh Gaya Bodhgaya) and to build a replacement Shivalinga.

Yet Muslims continue to suppress shifting PG and PG hand with BLM teachers should be blighted and abandoned temple until 1590, local rulers handed over the management to the Shaivite temple mahant. But recently the temple has been assigned to the PG and was supervised by a committee BLM and PG.

But thanks to the miracle should go back to old rock and a huge banyan tree growing out of plastic other old trees are cut down. [The 'Western Lands' - Elst 1992]. But perhaps the thing that will never happen. The rock has this Buddha footprint capital was French Ambassador Show mentions when he look at school (Udynana), north of Nandina. He writes in 'National Signing Buddha': " Buddha to footprints here, and she found footprints are long or short depending on the viewer's mind. Footprint he remains so today. And a stone Buddha medical exposure, with data widths of the Buddha, all is still. Y exposed stone Buddha, the first rod 4 feet high, about 2 rod wide, flat on one side .
